Listen back: Every Detail is The Universe – Michael Chow’s Design for Giorgio Armani

Originally published on: June 25, 2020.


As visitors from around the world return to Rodeo Drive, we
invite you to listen back and celebrate one of the visionaries
who created it: Michael Chow. He is a
restaurateur, an artist, and the designer of Giorgio Armani’s
flagship mega boutique on Rodeo Drive. When the store opened its
doors in 1988, people were stunned at the 13,000 square feet
interior with a sweeping staircase, white gold leaf and glorious
light. It inspired Armani’s famed uplit runway, became a
Hollywood hot spot, and set the trend for retailers to team up
with famous architects: think Prada and Rem Koolhaas; Louis
Vuitton, Chanel and Peter Marino; Valentino Menswear, Bally and
David Chipperfield. Chow’s design for Giorgio Armani Beverly
Hills has remained intact. But is the age of the vast boutique
over? Hear Bronwyn Cosgrave in conversation with
Michael Chow, Interior Design deputy editor Edie
Cohen and writer and former editor-in-chief of French
Vogue Joan Juliet Buck.
