Reiss held a Fashion Week party in conjunction with FM Model Agency to celebrate the first anniversary of their Global Flagship on Barrett Street. The party saw the stunning store filled with fashion industry shakers and movers such as magazine Editors, fashion press, stylists, models, photographers, Creative Directors and PRs. The champagne flowed and cocktails were courtesy of Drambuie while a veggie hot dog stand and ice-cream van provided snacks for hungry party goers. DJ Paul Sethi played a super cool set that had everyone nodding appreciatively. Goody bags included Elemis skin care while there was a carry-on at the cuckoo club for those not ready to hang up their dancing shoes.

Reiss Store In Aventura

Aventura marks a new design phase for Reiss in the US - a store designed to take the unique appeal of the Reiss brand right to the heart of the American mass market -integrating a sophisticated, boutique-style formula into a multi-site format.

Blowing apart the conventions of the malls ‘unit’ system the new design dispenses with the generic facade to lavishly open up the front of the store and drive the immediate focus straight into the store interior. Distinguishing itself from its competitors in a subtle yet powerful manner the simple, clean vista creates a modern, premium presence while low-hung ceilings have been heightened dramatically to increase the impact of the 3000 sqft space, extending the drama of the site way beyond its original limits.

A sublime example of how to deliver the consummate store within the restrictions of a suburban environment Aventura houses the entire Reiss retail proposition, from tailoring to accessories, in one space while remaining true to the visual DNA of the brand: a calculated mix of bold, solid industrial features – poured concrete flooring, exposed structural details, vast expanses of clear glass – and pure artistry – delicate brass edging strips, glitzy glass finishes and bespoke textile and wood treatments. Ash, Bone and the indestructible but elegant-looking Corian maintain a cooling presence as a backdrop to the fashion and a calm layer of sophistication amid the visual frenzy of their mass market counterparts.

Specially commissioned illustrative work by an acclaimed artist, dominating the central accessories units, completes the transition into the multi-site domain in typically individual Reiss style.

Reiss Store Opening in Leicester

As the first true satellite of the Barrett street iconic building, the Leicester site delivers an important message for the evolution of the Reiss brand: that big ideas can travel.

A regional translation of the epic design ambitions of the Barrett street site, Leicester works with scaled down proportions but retains all the same critical features and the potent visual flair of its larger cousin to provide a bespoke translation of the original grand idea.

An intense architectural clarity underpins the heart of the design but it is the continued use of raw, barely treated materials – poured concrete, timber and thick, tactile acrylic (materials based on those used in the original London college of fashion studios from which Barrett street was developed) which anchors it with the same feeling of authenticity, the same reverential resonance with the history which inspired its conception.

The chic, almost minimal skeleton punctuated by fine, subtle detailing - to elevate and reiterate the inherently luxe attitude of the brand - offers up a clean platform for visual merchandising with a theatrical edge and perfectly invests the space with a gallery style mutability. Like an architectural blank canvas the beauty of the overwhelming simplicity is that it provides an axis on which to easily rotate, layer and develop a host of additional, transient creative ideas such as the illustrative work on the accessories units by an acclaimed artist, specially commissioned for the AW08 season.
