Bridget Foley’s Diary: Vuitton, Koons, ‘Mona Lisa’ and the Changing Status of the Big-Brand Designer

She said Monday, “I just thought it would be interesting to do something extremely simple. What if we were immersed in this transcendental color to cut through all the visual clutter that we’re surrounded by in the holiday season?”
The grading shades of colors are being placed in windows, on floors and staircases, underneath beams, display cases and up shelves. The company’s Fifth Avenue flagship should be ready Wednesday, the SoHo store will be set on Friday and the West 34th Street store should be complete on Saturday. Lumisty, a glass film that creates an optical illusion, is used in select locations. Kim first experienced the visual sensations when passing by Issey Miyake’s Pleats Please store in SoHo in the Nineties. Lumisty can appear partially
