AVENUE MONTAIGNE: A NEW CHAPTER FOR SAINT LAURENT
Select Ishtar
Anthony Vaccarello
Saint Laurent has always prioritized luxury through privacy. Under the direction of Anthony Vaccarello, the Maison extends its presence on the Champs-Élysées to Avenue Montaigne, creating a space devoted entirely to personalized, intimate experiences—wrapped in the refinement that has defined it for years.
Three levels unfold as a progression toward intimacy, silence, and contemplation; a journey in which the protagonist is you, surrounded by artworks that breathe at their own pace. Inside this new space, furniture and art objects serve as anchors of a shared memory: the cultural lineage of the Maison.
Some pieces speak softly yet firmly: a pair of Süe & Mare armchairs, a Paul Poiret daybed for Atelier Martine, a François-Xavier Lalanne table, references to Jean-Michel Frank, Charlotte Perriand, and Josef Hoffmann, and a curated selection of contemporary artworks that engage in subtle dialogue.
In this atmosphere of control and light, the boutique gathers the full Saint Laurent universe — from women’s and men’s prêt-à-porter to leather goods, accessories, shoes, and fine jewelry — as though each category orbited around a single aesthetic gesture.
On the upper floor, a private salon overlooking Avenue Montaigne offers an experience that feels almost ritualistic, while a landscaped terrace concludes the visit with an unexpected breath of calm in the heart of the 8th arrondissement.
Is it a Saint Laurent dreamland? If you have the chance to visit, tag us — we’ll accept the FOMO.
