A Space Embodying the Brand's Dazzling, Distinctive Vision



Since establishing his eponymous brand in 2005, Nicholas Kirkwood has garnered a devoted following among numerous celebrities and members of royal families, thanks to collections that shine with unique designs and meticulous attention to detail.




This limited-edition boutique showcases not only the brand's iconic staples but also the latest Fall/Winter 2014 collection. Alongside a wide range of color variations for the signature face-motif slip-ons, the boutique features the graphic lace series, a key motif from the Fall/Winter 2014 collection. From the 2014 High Summer capsule collection, items crafted from satin with vibrant floral prints and espadrilles showcasing delicate embroidery techniques will be available.




The interior, designed by Mehrnoosh Khadivi of Craftwork Studio, features Nicholas Kirkwood's signature zigzag pattern, creating a space where visitors can experience the brand's opulent world. Additionally, on display ahead of their late May Japanese release are Samsung Electronics' cutting-edge premium smartphone, the Galaxy S5, and a premium cover adorned with the zigzag motif. The shop is designed to highlight the brand's themes of craftsmanship and innovation.




Nicholas Kirkwood commented, "Our Japanese customers are sophisticated, possessing an excellent aesthetic sensibility for craftsmanship, materials, and innovation. Over the past few years, we have strengthened our relationship with our Japanese clientele by incorporating lower-heeled shoes into our collections. We are delighted to partner with Isetan, a world-renowned department store."
