Saint Laurent’s footprint in Paris can be felt everywhere you look, from the style on the street to the stores and trends across the city. Now, the house is expanding its worldview with a newly designed flagship—its largest ever—on the illustrious Champs-Élysées. The space marks a new look for the brand, with unfinished concrete juxtaposing smooth metal stairwells and Donald Judd furniture and installations. What’s old will always become new again. Hunter Schafer, Jeff Goldblum, Liu Wen, and more decamped to Shanghai to join co-creative directors Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons for the opening of Pradasphere II,” a new exhibition at the Start Museum that chronicles the brand from its beginnings in 1913 to present day. Expect over 400 pieces pulled from the archives, immersive rooms, and a workshop to witness the making of the Prada Galleria bag courtesy of artisans from Tuscany.
