Corneliani changed venue in Paris, treating itself to a new location for its flagship store. As reported by FashionMag last September, the high-end menswear fashion label has left rue François 1er, where it had established a flagship store at no. 31, and has issued a press release advertising its move to 44 avenue George V.

The Italian fashion label has recently opened there a 200 m² store Pandora on Wednesday announced that, based on preliminary reporting, it saw a 40% increase in FY2015 revenue at (€2.2 bln) from 11.9 bln (€1.6 bln) DKK in FY2014. According to the financial report, all geographic regions contributed to the high growth levels in the fourth quarter of FY2015, which was driven primarily by strong Christmas sales, at the premises formerly occupied by Jean Paul Gaultier.

The relocation project is by Italian architecture studio Podda Ponti Architetti from Mantua, under Sergio Corneliani's creative direction. The design notably incorporates the distinctive grid made of metallic circles which characterises all of the brand's new retail outlets.

The store's interior decoration features grey marble, wood-panelling, mirrors and steel finishings. The new store will showcase the entire Corneliani range, from haute couture to casual clothes to accessories. A private lounge is reserved to fittings for bespoke tailoring.
