Every Detail is The Universe - Michael Chow’s Design for Giorgio Armani

When Giorgio Armani opened his flagship mega boutique on Rodeo
Drive in 1988 people were stunned at the 13,000 square feet
interior with a sweeping staircase, white gold leaf and glorious
light.


It was created by Michael Chow, legendary
restaurateur and artist. 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. “It’s very simple to be timeless,” says Chow. “You just
have to be true to yourself.”


But is the age of the vast boutique over?
Hear Bronwyn Cosgrave in conversation with
Michael Chow, Interior Design magazine editor Edie
Cohen and writer and former editor-in-chief of
French Vogue Joan Juliet Buck.
