I had somewhat recently tweeted from the McNally Jackson books cafe in Nolita about how much I loved the space and the fixtures designed by Front Studio. My iPhone photo really did not do it much justice, so I was thankful to stumble upon these much better quality shots from Kitsune Noir. I love the pages of the books that line the walls, and the books that seemingly float overhead. It’s a great little spot. Click here for additional photos.

Sean John Clothing collaborated with Brooklyn artist Aakash Nihalani for their pop-up store which opened last weekend in Miami Beach. The colorful geometric pieces are used creatively throughout the store and front display. More photos of the space at Sean John’s blog.

L’Eclaireur boutique’s amazing new space on rue de Sévigné is part interactive installation and part retail store. Outfitted with 147 video screens, 2 tons of wooden planks and countless recycled elements such as printer plates, the collaboration with artist Arne Quinze took almost a year to construct.
Owned by French fashion connoisseur Armand Hadida and his wife Martine, the duo already have 5 stores in Paris and 1 in Tokyo. For their sixth store, they wanted to prove that for selling fashion, it is not obligatory to show it, stating “This is not a store, it is an experience. We are playing with the discovery, the role of the sales associate is to communicate.”
