Hypebeast: Valentino Opens New York City Flagship on Madison Avenue

Featuring three floors, almost 1,142 square-meters of selling space and a revolving art gallery curated in partnership with New York’s Magazzino Italian Art Museum.

Valentino has cut the ribbon on an all-new flagship store in New York City. Located at 654 Madison Avenue, the fresh retail outpost looks to expand on the Italian House’s new global retail concept of reinterpreting existing building’s structures to accommodate unique brand spaces.

Commanding three floors and almost 1,142 square-meters of selling space, the store’s columnar facade, grand windows and massive interior let Valentino’s high-end garments complement the edifice’s architectural prowess. Inside, seven-meter high ceilings and exposed steel finishes mirror a rough concrete finish that fuels the space with modernity.
