Roland Mouret moves flagship store into New York townhouse

French designer Roland Mouret has moved his flagship New York store into a townhouse on Madison Avenue that will house a mix of retail along with his personal art collection and porcelain sculptures. Mouret has relocated his store just a block down the road into a larger space that that will use the first floor as a retail area, while the upper floors of the house will be reserved for appointments, fittings and the designer's personal use, reports WWD. To mark the opening, Mouret has created a special-edition jumpsuit that will be sold exclusively at the flagship New York store.
