Past Forward

Once the address where Cristóbal Balenciaga worked, fitted clients, presented collections and lived, Avenue George V has undergone an expansion. This year, it has incorporated ateliers and offices for couture and creative functions along with the enlargement of existing salons. The storefront that once sold perfume and accessories is now repurposed as the Couture Store distinguished by one-of-a-kind creations and exclusive collaborations, while the ingenious use of dark, smoked glass partitions between raw walls conveys the harmonious union of the maison's past, present and future at Avenue George V.
