Graff Diamonds Opens Its Shenyang Boutique

by Staff | June 14th 2013 | 09:17 am

Interior architect Peter Marino, arguably the king of flagship fashion boutique design, has worked his magic once again – this time with the Graff Diamonds store which recently opened in Shenyang, North China.

It may be the brand's eleventh store in Asia, but that doesn't mean it is any less stylish. Housed inside the Jolie department store, the dichroic glass façade of the boutique creates a visual spectacle, with the glass changing colour depending on the lighting and viewing angle. It has an artistic and modern edge, too, with an open grill layered over a striking bronze backdrop and the Graff motif set atop for all to see. As night falls, the piece is lit from within. The real showstopper, though, has to be the Bohemia crystal chandelier inside the store – encapsulating the elegance of the brand.

The French capital, the jeweller and the Parisian woman entwined – this is the inspiration behind Cartier's latest collection, Paris Nouvelle Vague. Capturing the varying facets of the French city at different times of day and pairing them with traits of the modern-day Parisienne, it is an elaborate homage to this sparkling town, the home of Cartier.

It may be somewhat of a cliché, but it's one we find incredibly chic.
