NEW ALEXANDER MCQUEEN STORE IN LOS ANGELES


Store Design by William Russell. The flagship shop is located on Melrose Avenue on the corner of Melrose Place.

The store employs the interior design language created by Russell and McQueen for the original three flagship stores in London, Milan and New York.

The Los Angeles store is unique for two reasons.

1st, it was a new-build project on a vacant site. Russell was able to design the form of the exterior as well as the interior. He has created a streamlined building in stucco and curved glass to the street with a large private courtyard behind.

2nd, installations of a large sculpture by Robert Bryce Muir. Visitors to the store are greeted by the ‘Angel of the Americas’, suspended through a skylight above the entrance.
