Saint Laurent Unveils Ultra-Modern Boutique in Miami’s Design District

# Saint Laurent’s Oh-So-Chic Transformation in Miami’s Design District

**Saint Laurent** is pushing its way into the Miami fashion scene real hard. Their grand two-story boutique in Miami’s Design District? It’s an architectural delight that screams luxury and class, courtesy of their Creative Director, [Anthony Vaccarello](http://rain-mag.com/tag/anthony-vaccarello).

## The Space: Where Industrial Meets Luxe

You’ll find this beauty at **149 NE 40th Street**. The exterior is a sight—think corduroy and washed concrete are playing nice in an architectural duet. Step inside, and you are hit by this fantastic blend of industrial grit married with opulent finishes. Spot the black wood staircase? It’s a show-stealer and picks up on the vibe from their recent [Meatpacking District](https://rain-mag.com/saint-laurent-expands-its-manhattan-presence-with-multi-level-boutique-in-meatpacking-district/) showcase, only last month.

## Stones and Marble: A Symphony of Materials

The store’s material palette is pure heaven for design buffs. They’ve gone all out with white and blue terrazzo floors complementing corduroy concrete walls. And the furniture? An exquisite blend—brown spider, giallo siena, black cosmic, and blue lumen marble surfaces. And don’t miss those custom carpets, bringing silky softness to the stark industrial vibe.

## Rooftop Exclusivity and Artistic Overtures

For the VIPs, there are not one, but two swanky rooms on the rooftop. Private shopping in the fresh air with intimate vibes? Yes, indeed. A striking blue installation takes center stage within, marrying art and commerce, while emphasizing luxury retail’s shift towards bespoke services in hot markets.

## A Vault of Vintage and Art

Inside, the design extends into an artful statement. Imagine vintage modernist furniture treasures from [George Nakashima](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Nakashima) and [Pierre Jeanneret](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Jeanneret), intertwined with renowned works by [Carlo & Afra Scarpa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Scarpa). Add in the creative genius of [Charles & Ray Eames](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_and_Ray_Eames), [Paul Poiret](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Poiret), and more. This place is bursting with museum-quality dialogue in fashion and furniture.

## The Saint Laurent Universe

Miami’s store offers everything a fashion-hungry soul desires: women’s and men’s ready-to-wear, handbags, shoes, swanky accessories, and glittering fine jewelry. It’s not just shopping; it’s the ultimate luxury trip in the Design District’s buzzing luxury setting.

## Saint Laurent: Embracing Innovation and Heritage

The Miami addition slips seamlessly into their growing global network of architectural retail wonderlands. Pure retail innovation and old-world design blend here in haute harmony.
