How Peter Marino Has Shaped the Architecture of Chanel

One of the most prominent designers shaping buildings in the fashion world, Peter Marino has been Chanel’s go-to architect for 25 years, overall realizing more than 200 projects for the iconic brand. As well as launching his book <em>The Architecture of Chanel</em> through Phaidon in November, the architect is unveiling a new Chanel building in the Miami Design District during Art Basel. This highly anticipated outpost embodies the archetypal Chanel aesthetic, pairing the smooth white stucco façade of a two-story, cubed structure with contrasting black detail, and drawing customers into a gallery-like space that places Chanel items alongside striking works of art.
