Fashion designer Manolo Blahnik is opening his first flagship boutique in Taipei.
The 700 sq ft store in Nanshan Plaza was developed under an agreement with Bluebell Taiwan Group, with interiors designed by Blahnik’s architect, Nick Leith-Smith to reflect the local environment.
“The Taipei flagship celebrates a material play on Taiwan’s deep cultural and historical connection to bamboo, with a rotating bamboo forest as a central motif,” said Leith-Smith.
The outlet will feature a full range of Blahnik’s designs, and precedes expected openings in Tokyo and Paris, according to brand CEO Kristina Blahnik.
