Wooyoungmi Paris ShopThe old stones breathe anew.
For the opening of her first boutique abroad the Korean designer Wooyoungmi began by immersing herself with the building, taking in the air of this ancient Parisian quartier and its history.
The walls, floors and ceilings have been stripped of all the coats and covers put up by past occupants.
Masters of restoration have then applied their art and the surfaces have recovered their original beauty.
Now they wear just voile of whitewash creating a delicate and immaculate atmosphere.
The spiral staircase, the little door and window looking out on to the courtyard have also re-found their original aspects.
Luminous areas have been restrained thus avoiding waste.
In this atmosphere of subdued lighting, one feels almost at home.
Wooyoungmi feels well and truly at home. We find, in the way she installs herself without pushing the walls, the same delicacy that characterizes her menswear designs.
Her collections continue to evolve men's wardrobes without renouncing the past.
In the same way all is thought out, accomplished, contemporary by returning to the foundations of the edifice.
