HABITAT 1964

by kvdb on Wed 15 May 13

Now French owned, the iconic UK furniture brand set up by Terence Conran in 1964 is about to launch a vintage village in the heart of the St Ouen flea market (not far from the new Starck designed restaurant Ma Cocotte btw). They’ll be selling there iconic vintage Habitat furniture from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, including key pieces from designers including Jean Nouvel or Pierre Paulin. As well as buying vintage gems, you can unload those Habitat pieces you’re tired of. And in the village, you’ll also find a new L’Eclaireur outpost dedicated to vintage fashion, plus a cute “buvette” run by Tartes Kluger where you can enjoy brunch on weekends. Opening Sat 8 June!
Open weekends and public holidays. 9.30am-6pm.
77 rue des Rosiers, 93400 St-Ouen. www.habitat1964.com

ST LAURENT MONTAIGNE

by kvdb on Tue 14 May 13

We got a first taste of the new store concept for Hedi Slimane’s Saint Laurent a couple of months ago with the opening of the first dedicated menswear store on the corner of Rue de Grenelle and Rue des Saint-Pères. Last week the label’s huge Avenue Montaigne unisex flagship opened, providing a total immersion in the maison’s minimal new look. The two store space is another sexy ode to marble, mirror, chrome, neon and concrete. The brand’s historic Saint Sulpice flagship is currently under renovation too, and will reopen soon as the dedicated Left Bank womenswear address.
10.30am (11am Mon)-7pm. Closed Sun.
53 avenue Montaigne, 8th. www.ysl.fr/
