Marni, Las Vegas





Italian designer label Marni has recently opened its first flagship boutique at Crystals, a swanky indoor/outdoor shopping center at the CityCenter.
The store's interiors were conceptualized by Marni designer Consuelo Castiglioni, in conjunction with architecture firm Sybarite. And the 800-square-foot shop is as singular as the brand's aesthetics -- boasting a massive glass-paneled facade and a surrealistic interior, defined by a curving floor surrounding a tree-like series of swooping metal racks that showcases the brand's current collection.
The shop's Dr. Suess-like spaciness doesn't end there. Undulating walls are marked by an alternating convex-concave "bubble" relief pattern, while fiberglass display cases house accessories and shoes. Mannequin bodies dolled up in Marni looks hang suspended from the ceiling like aliens -- albeit super-stylish ones -- dropping down to Earth.
