Chanel opens its second Heathrow boutique at Terminal 5 |
UK. Chanel has opened a new fashion boutique at Heathrow Airport Terminal 5. This is the second airport boutique for the fashion house in the UK; it also has a store in Terminal 3.
The 288sq m space was conceived by New York-based architect Peter Marino, who designs Chanel’s boutiques worldwide. The interior is said to take inspiration from the apartment of Mademoiselle Chanel on rue Cambon.
In the UK, Marino has most recently transformed the brand’s London flagships for watches and fine jewellery (2015) and fashion (2013), both on Bond Street. The boutique will present a selection of ready-to-wear and accessories from all six of Karl Lagerfeld’s collections for Chanel.
On entering the boutique, the visitor’s first comes across a selection of Chanel watches – including models from the J12 and Première range – according to Heathrow Airport.
The store features a handbag bar with stools in textured tweed for seating. Opposite the handbag bar, there are dedicated areas for small leathergoods, costume jewellery, ties and scarves. A window at the end of the salon affords views of the runway.
Visitors will also find a second salon featuring gold walls of embossed wallpaper dedicated to ready-to-wear and shoes, furnished with a black iron console by Christophe Come. There is also a fitting room with a specially commissioned artwork depicting an abstract camellia design by Peter Dayton.
At the time of opening the Cruise and the Autumn Winter 2015/16 collections are on display.
