Ahead of fall/winter 2015 London Fashion Week, the Christopher Kane flagship store has opened its door on Mount Street in Mayfair. The brick-and-mortar location is the first of its kind for the British designer and is an inspiring space that reflects Kane's particular approach to design.
The pristine, newly opened white-on-white shop was designed by famed British minimalist designer John Pawson and is bright, refreshing space spread out on two floors.
The Christopher Kane flagship store will run a 6-day a week schedule, except during London Fashion Week, which means the shop's premiere Sunday will see a lot of activity. To mark the occasion, a number of limited edition bags have been created and will be only available at the store.
