Starting in February 2013, Yves Saint Laurent stores will be gradually renovated and reopened based on Saint Laurent's new concept.
Interior direction is being handled by Hedi Slimane, who was appointed as the new creative director in March of this year. Experience Hedi's signature worldview with mirrored fitting rooms, marble displays, and floors, all designed under the concept of "combining French Deco materials and techniques."
Together with the reopening, Hedi's first collection will be available in-store. The Hankyu Men's Osaka Saint Laurent store is scheduled to have an advance sale and reopening on February 1st, followed by nationwide sales the following day on the 2nd. The Shinjuku Isetan Saint Laurent store will reopen in early March and will carry limited edition items.
