P.C.Hooftstraat, Amsterdam‘s golden mile of luxury shopping, sees a welcome new addition with the opening of Alexander McQueen‘s newest boutique. The store occupies two floors of a traditional residential Dutch red brick building and features an interior design concepted by the brand’s creative director in collaboration with Chilean architect Smiljan Radić. Distinctly contemporary and artistic, the design codes reflect Alexander McQueen‘s forward focus and undisputed craftsmanship, featuring an infusion of oak and walnut, paired with pristine white walls and sections covered in exuberant tapestries. The premises are dotted with mannequins interacting throughout the environment, referencing the narrative of the latest runway collections and offering shoppers an immersive shopping experience. The product is very much the protagonist, seen from all sides and up close. The new Alexander McQueen store carries women’s and men’s apparel, accessories, bags, shoes, eyewear and jewellery pieces.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
