Jil Sander, New York

Intricately architectural yet utterly minimalist, the 6000 square foot, bi-level Jil Sander concept store carries womenswear, menswear, and accessories—all designed by Belgian creative director (and store architect) Raf Simmons. The fashion house will continue to operate an uptown location, but unlike most Sander stores that veer towards stark modesty, this outpost is a jaw-dropper. Elevated, single-file mannequins line up in the display-only, street-level showcase, with a rotating wall of mirrored panels reflects various angles of the sleek, white space. Upstairs, black racks and mollusk-shaped lighting fixtures illuminate the space, while three angular, movable, mirrored dressing rooms reflect the natural sunlight emanating from the boutique’s windows, allowing shoppers to see their reflection at various angles. The store’s celebration of light and movement feels museum-like, mirroring Sander’s natural, simple clothing lines.
