Fortunately, art advisor and historian Sharón Zoldan, founder of SZ Advisory in Los Angeles, was available to shepherd me through the zaniness. Touring a group of us through some of the fair’s more exciting minimalist holdings, Zoldan highlighted several pieces expected to fetch tidy sums—among them, an untitled work by Claudio Parmiggiani shown by Simon Lee Gallery. A member of Italy’s Arte Povera movement, Parmiggiani created the cinder-coated panel this year by capturing residual soot from a bonfire in his studio. The result is a ghostly, poetic image that speaks to themes of memory, time, and destruction. The high price-per-square-foot cost of construction can be attributed to the rising costs and limited availability of specialty materials and construction labor, as well as soft costs like architecture and design, Chariff said. As for future Chanel stores, Galantic said they’ve renovated and expanded the Wynn in Las Vegas (which opened in October) and opened CityCenter in Washington, D.C., last July.

Mademoiselle’s audacious vision and daring spirit reinvented the world of fashion, beauty and style. From B&B, we sauntered to Louis Vuitton to toast the latest additions to its covetable Objets Nomades collection. Among them, we glimpsed the futuristic outdoor seating by Beijing rising star Frank Chou and the Merengue pouf by the Campana Brothers—not to mention a special installation by repeat collaborator Patricia Urquiola.

Discussing overall business, Galantic said Chanel’s business has been doing very well and is outperforming the major luxury players. He noted that Chanel has a store in Bal Harbour, Fla., “which continues to perform very strongly and tends to attract a little bit more of an international tourist.” In the current environment, Chanel’s business “is very heavily local right now. “We think it’s going to be big,” he added, declining to give sales projections. He said the white marble stairway looks like it’s rising to heaven.

How important is art to the new Chanel building in Miami?

World-famous designer, Peter Marino, was responsible for the design which incorporated its iconic black granite slab and white stone exterior. Inside, the store the space encourages interaction with free-flowing spacious salons flooded with light. Three private fitting rooms have fully customizable environments from climate control, lighting time of day options, and surround sound audio.

Mary Corse is one of the few women recognized as a part of the West Coast Light and Space movement, and her Untitled (Beams) at Art Basel is a testament to her ability to keep up with fellow members like James Turrell and Larry Bell. Like other pieces by Corse, the work features light-reflecting paint used on highways—a choice that not only adds dynamism and depth, but in this case also makes the sculptural work suitable for the outdoors. The scale of Art Basel Miami Beach can be overwhelming, especially for a first-timer like me.

On the occasion of Art Basel yesterday, CHANEL inaugurated an incredible two-floor 7,600 square foot boutique in the heart of Miami’s Design District, located at 155 NE 41st Street. The new building showcases Chanel ready-to-wear, handbags, shoes, eyewear, fine jewelry and watches. An exhilarating 30 foot tall central atrium topped by a 120 square foot skylight creates  a vivid space full of light.

Inside the boutique’s elevator is a second commission by artist Chris Succo, who spray-painted black lacquer and oil on white linen in abstract squiggles which Marino called “super cool,” calling to mind a dash of Mademoiselle Chanel’s own hand. The store highlights a lot of young artists “which is a lot of fun,” he said. Artwork needs its own breathing space and isn't meant to compete with merchandise, so I don't place it alongside the product. It may float above as you see with Gregor Hildebrandt’s three works over the 40-foot white staircase, or occupy its own zone, in the case of Chris Succo's elevator installation—where he spray-painted black lacquer and oil on white linen.

The exclusive artworks chosen by the architect -as always- reflect Gabrielle Chanel ‘s legacy as a patron of arts. Verra Lutter’s monumental camera obscure photograph “LACMA with Yang- Na 2011-Present, 1. March 8, 2017 lines one wall of the atrium, all body graphic lines and ethereal palm trees. Probably a “clin d’oeil” to the next Chanel Boutique in Beverly Hills expected to open next year.

Chanel gives me the freedom to create retail experiences that are art. It's been great to have been entrusted with the physical architectural personification of Chanel. Chanel is a client who is always looking to evolve the brand while maintaining the brand history.

I never forgot one prominent architect saying when they were asked about my work, ‘Oh yes, he does dress shops.’ It’s interesting that now these spaces are thought of as fashion boutiques,” he says, laughing. “It’s a beautiful white cube; very, very elegant with very simple windows,” said Marino, who has designed over 200 stores for Chanel, including in Miami. “It’s a beautiful white cube; very, very elegant with very simple windows,” said Marino, who has designed over 200 stores for Chanel, including in Miami. At least 10 years in the making and after three years of construction, Chanel’s stunning new Beverly Hills flagship has opened at 400 N. Clocking in at 30,000 square feet, it’s now the biggest Chanel store in the United States and more than double the size of its previous Rodeo Drive space.

Artworks specifically curated for the Miami space can be found throughout the boutique, a nod to Gabrielle Chanel’s influential legacy as a patron of the arts. On December 2, 2021, CHANEL unveiled a new boutique in the heart of Miami’s Design District. Showcasing the House’s Ready-to-Wear, handbags, shoes, eyewear, Fine Jewelry, and Watches, the two-floor 7,600 square-foot boutique is the ultimate CHANEL destination in Miami. One of their fastest-growing channels is their fragrance and beauty omnichannel. “It’s not coming at the expense of wholesale, which continues to grow in those market that we’re present with our boutiques,” he added. Marino explained that Hildebrandt has taken old movie films and put them on the canvas.
