Les Suites

Located a stone’s throw away from Paris’ famed Champs Elysées, Les Suites defines the pinnacle of luxury shopping. Housed in an exquisite private mansion and spanning multiple floors, the boutique is known for its VIP clientele, incomparable styling services, jaw-dropping interiors, and, of course, its dazzling inventory. Boasting creations by Giambattista Valli, Ulyana Sergeenko, Rochas, and Emilia Wickstead, to name a few, it’s a wealth of elegant gowns, whimsical headdresses, striking jewelry, and the like. If you’ve got money to blow and a black tie event to attend, you’d be remiss not to pay it a visit.

           

The interior of Les Suites is monstrous. The entryway features a dramatic curving staircase, marble tiled flooring, and a two-tiered table that might be displaying colorful embossed crocodile bags from Zarqua or a giant floral arrangement. To the left, a mirror-walled room is lined with metal industrial shelving holding shoes of every kind, from knee-high suede booties to sexy pointy toed pumps. In another room, sweeping gowns hang from mannequins and racks inside of a wooden-floored room dripping with classic French charm. Two velvet mauve chairs sit at its center and a modern abstract lighting unit hangs from above. Crystal chandeliers, ornate crown moulding, delicate wallpaper, and plenty of natural light are found throughout the entirety of the boutique, which culminates in three fitting suites measuring 50 square meters where lucky patrons get to try on their selected sartorial confections, perhaps with a glass of champagne or espresso in hand. It’s a one-of-a-kind store and curates a one-of-a-kind inventory.

While you can find silver trousers by Kristina Fidelskaya, tailored puff sleeve blouses by Dice Kayek, and sequin jackets by Janashia, gowns and cocktail dresses are Les Suites’ main attraction. Drool over perfectly pleated and ruched midis from Maison Rabih Kayrouz; get lost in the whimsical beaded detailing of Azzi & Osta; rethink slip dresses with Elenareva’s slinky, asymmetrical designs; and discover your penchant for ladylike pastels with Vika Gazinskaya. To finish off your look, consider a gem-encrusted headband from Jennifer Behr or opt for modern pearl-studded jewels from Janashia. No matter what you choose, it’ll most certainly be en vogue.
