Synopsis

Here, Neil Bingham examines the most cutting-edge fashion boutiques of the twenty-first century in the leading fashion capitals of the world: London, Milan, Paris, New York and Tokyo. These exclusive stores range from entire buildings that are new city landmarks to intimate shops favoured by the fashion and design cognoscenti. This is the designed world of luxury shopping, where famous fashion designers present their exclusive collections, and clients cross thresholds between fantasy and desire.
Fabric, structure, materials, models ... architects and fashion designers have discovered that they have much in common. With a perceptive understanding of their shared values and language, and backed by photography of each boutique, Neil Bingham discusses how the boutique design reflects and endorses the fashion designer's look.
