The flagship store in Chloe’s home city, situated on one of the most prestigious avenues in Paris, the Avenue Montaigne. The store is filled with natural light from three sides, and in a city which can easily be associated with opulence and extravagance, this simple factor is refreshing.

A new element was designed for this store: a spiral staircase in raw cast concrete, and this will be developed for the Hong Kong and New York stores.

The lighting here as in all the stores, is typical of a museum or art gallery: spotlights modelling or flooding the clothes just as you would light a sculpture or painting. At night only the mannequins are illuminated for dramatic effect.
