Nicola Formichetti to unveil Manhattan pop-up
Nicola Formichetti, creative director of Thierry Mugler and fashion director for Lady Gaga, has plans to launch a pop-up shop in Manhattan come fall, reported WWD.
Located in a 19th-century cast-iron building at 57 Walker Street in TriBeCa, the store will be a component of the second annual Boffo Building Fashion competition, which pairs architects with fashion designers to create interim retail installations.
Judged by a jury, the competition is already underway to discover architects to match with each designer. Additional participants include Patrik Ervell, Irene Neuwirth, The Lake & Stars and Ohne Titel. The chosen architects will receive $20,000 to make their ideas a reality. The first shop debuts Sept. 1.
