Valentino Omotesando, the Italian fashion label’s first flagship store for Japan, has opened in Tokyo.

It covers 467 sqm on two floors at the Omotesando Hills Mall in Aoyama, and its interior design follows the new codes formulated by the brand´s creative directors, David Architects of London, and Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierrepaolo Piccioli.

Marble columns connect the two levels, while the facade has a sculptured terrazzo facade of pillars and glass walls.

A feature of the opening is a special window installation featuring photos and videos by artist Mariporu, including personal material and introducing his Maripol, Little Red Riding Hood.

Proceeds from the sales of a limited-edition canvas tote bag decorated with studs, priced at 15,000 yen (US$148), will be donated by Maison Valentino to help the victims of Kumamoto earthquake, three months ago.
