St. John Opens Manhattan Boutique at New York City’s 655 Madison Avenue
March 5, 2022 - American luxury fashion house, St. John, best known for women’s knitwear has announced a new 2,512 square foot boutique which opened in February 2022.
Deputy CEO Andy Lew shared, “Manhattan is an important market for us. We’re proud to remain an integral part of the upper east side community for generations now. Madison Avenue draws New Yorkers and global travelers with a taste for luxury, and our New York Flagship will welcome all to discover our latest collections whilst catering to our clients.”
The design concept takes its inspiration from the Southern California lifestyle roots of the brand. The front of the boutique features open windows that allow guests to peek in and view a modern, three-arm, ceiling fixture. Once inside, the collection is displayed on a mix of metal hanging fixtures in polished chrome and brushed brass. A central seating area allows guests to take a moment to lounge while sharing a glass of champagne or cup of coffee. Meanwhile, the circular back room is finished in sculptured mirror completed with alcoves that perfectly highlight the St. John eveningwear for a more private shopping experience. Blush hues, gentle greys, and gold tones pair perfectly with mid-century inspired furniture surrounded by the new Spring 2022 collection.
The St. John legacy was born from a simple, elegant, and versatile knit dress. While the brand has evolved over the years, the foundation of every collection starts and ends with an artisanal lens and commitment to creating casual yet elegant knitwear that embody femininity and confidence.
