Upon entering Dries Van Noten Mercer Street, visitors will experience a fusion of fashion, art, and design. Ready-to-wear collections for men and women, fashion accessories, and beauty selections coexist alongside carefully curated artworks and sculptural pieces. The store, inspired by the energy of Manhattan, is crafted as a fluid space where each element contributes to a narrative, transforming the space into an intimate experience.
The main area is defined by its elongated, narrow layout and walls arranged like a theatrical decor, guiding the eye toward a striking goldleaf volume at the far end. Bold artistic works by Ben Storms and Simone Crestani further enrich the space, mirroring the city’s energy while adding movement and depth. Each design element contributes to a dialogue between tradition and innovation, seamlessly integrating historical influences with contemporary aesthetics throughout the store.
