The brand new Stella McCartney store in Milan.Stella McCartney just opened her first store in Milan, on via Santo Spirito in the heart of the city’s fashionable shopping district. Housed in an 18th-century building, the store — which was designed by the architects APA in London and J&R Studio in Milan — has a sustainable oak parquet floor, in McCartney’s signature color palette, that was designed by Yael Mer and Shay Alkalay of Raw Edges for Established & Sons (www.establishedandsons.com), the furniture company headed by Alasdhair Willis, McCartney’s husband. While the store’s ground floor is full of decorative touches, the second floor is a study in white on white with accents of bright color like the organic felt cubes that display shoes, and a painted ceiling that is original to the building. Moreover, the design doesn’t just look good; it does good, too — McCartney is aiming for LEED certification.
