Isabel Marant Opens Recent Stores in Tokyo and East Hampton

Isabel Marant has expanded her retail fleet to 81 stores, with the opening of latest stores in Tokyo and East Hampton, Recent York.

In Tokyo, Marant teamed up with Japanese artist Yutaka Sone to create Yellow House, which showcases the brand’s ready-to-wear and accessories collections.

The focus of Yellow Home is a striking, large-scale artwork facade, drawing inspiration from Sone’s earlier series, “Power of Ten,” and “Obsidian” — two series that involve an intense study of obsidian, a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed when lava extruded from a volcano cools rapidly.

Spanning greater than 2,152 square feet, the architecture conveys a passion for art and craftsmanship. Marant plays with the space, cutting out patches from the ceiling — as in the event that they were dress patterns — or fiddling with vibrant coloured Sone obsidian stones, carved wood units and fluffy Berber sofas. The Terrazzo floor, custom made by Marant herself, is dotted with natural stones and glass bringing traces of nature into urban life.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Yutaka Sone for our recent shop in Tokyo Aoyama,” said Isabel Marant, founder and artistic director. This collaboration allows us to merge different perspectives and disciplines, creating something recent and unique that transcends the boundaries of our individual fields.”

The Tokyo store carries Marant’s full range of men’s and womenswear, including the brand’s dresses, relaxed tailoring, Oskan Moon bag and Balskee wedge sneakers. To rejoice the opening, Marant and Sone will host an exclusive launch event on July 6.

The Hamptons store marks Marant’s first store on Long Island’s East End, opening in June at 66 Newton Lane in East Hampton, Recent York.

The 904-square-foot boutique draws inspiration from the ’70s French experimental movement. The shop, which features Marant’s foremost line for ladies, Isabel Marant Etoile collection and accessories, showcases a wide range of furniture pieces, including a jewellery and sunglasses display and wood podiums designed by Rotterdam designer Jonas Lutz, concrete and ceramic planters by Parisian artist Kalou Dubus, in addition to ceramic glazed podiums developed by the Spanish studio Apparatu.
