Since British-born Maximilian Davis took the creative reigns at Ferragamo in 2022, the Florence-based fashion house has gradually regained the global limelight with sharp collections that appeal both to its long-time fanbase, and more importantly, a new and younger demographic. Needless to say, the revival of Ferragamo has also spawned a new retail aesthetic which aims to convey its newly gained allure. At Isetan Shinjuku, arguably Tokyo‘s leading luxury department store, high-end brands go the extra yard given the increased prestige and exposure to sizeable, well-heeled clientele from home and abroad. Ferragamo already managed a shop-in-shop at Isetan Shinjuku for quite some time, but recently, a new branded retail space has opened on the third floor.
The design codes, laid down by Davis and his in-house design team, have resulted in contemporary backdrop of plastered walls, and also a small section clad in opulent Italian marble, paired with carpets in soft beige and green. Furnishings and fixtures include wall-mounted shelving and displays, in addition to a matching series of display cabinets, tiered displays and clothing racks. The new Ferragamo shop-in-shop carries a selection of the brand’s women’s apparel, accessories, bags and shoes. Mind you, simultaneously launched with this space is a Ferragamo men’s pop-up store at The Stage, the department store’s high-profile ground floor store section dedicated to a curated rotation of branded ephemeral shops. © superfuture

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.
