"The MeatPacking District store will be my 'new home' where I will receive friends to show them my most exciting pieces around a glass of champagne. The ambiance will be one of a homey, exclusive feeling full of curiosity and intimacy. This landscape will allow me to present individual dresses for one of a kind moment in life"

Catherine Malandrino, renowned French designer, will open a 3500 square-foot space at 652 Hudson St in NYC's MeatPacking district. This innovative showcase will present Malandrino's collections as it would be discovered along a French promenade fusing urban space with natural elements. The space was conceived from the thought of a terrace where the outside of the sidewalk blends with the inside, inspired by the foundation Maejht Terrace in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France.

Here you walk under a waterfall of rain in Murano glass drops. The space has no beginning and no end and offers you a moment of magic in the middle of the MeatPacking district.
