The Paris-based luxury house reportedly signed a multiyear lease for the space, which has a 1,500-square-foot lower level that can be used for selling.
The SoHo flagship will be Margiela’s third boutique in Manhattan, with a store for MM6, the brand’s contemporary collection, on Grand Street, and an existing Margiela unit on Greenwich Street, which will continue to operate, the company said. The SoHo flagship will become the brand’s sixth location in the U.S., with stores also in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami.
Crosby and Howard Streets are at the nexus of SoHo’s edgier businesses. Rick Owens is across from 1 Crosby Street, while BDDW, and the Nomo SoHo Hotel are next door. Neighbors on Howard Street include The Smile, Opening Ceremony Men, Reformation and 11 Howard Hotel.
