\n\tTalk about a big reveal. After teaming up with Jonathan Anderson on some of the most-talked-about shoes<\/a> of Paris Fashion Week<\/a> at Dior, Nina Christen is now revealing another big project \u2014 her first Christen store.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe boutique, which will open on the storied Rue de la Paix in the second quarter of 2026, is being designed in collaboration with architecture firm\u00a0Salahars\u00a0and multidisciplinary artist\u00a0Azadeh Shladovsky. The interior will play up innovation, timelessness and craftsmanship, according to the designer. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWith Christen, I aim to communicate not only through strong products but equally through space and the retail<\/a> experience that surrounds them,\u201d the designer told WWD and FN exclusively. \u201cOur first\u00a0store\u00a0location represents a significant milestone in the creation of the brand.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOver the past week, the fashion flock has taken notice of Christen signage decking out the space, which was formerly occupied by couture brand Amin Kader. Diamond specialist DeBeers and jeweler Tasaki also are setting up shop on Rue de la Paix. <\/p>\n

\n\tChristen, which debuted in September 2024, has grown quickly in its first year. Buyers were immediately attracted to the understated line, which emphasizes upscale materials, sculptural materials \u2014\u00a0and fit with its custom footbed. The brand launched at Bergdorf Goodman in May, expanding for fall to Selfridges, Lane Crawford and Dover Street Market addresses in London, New York and Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Chilean Swiss designer is behind some of the most innovative designs of the past several years, including\u00a0Bottega Veneta<\/a>\u2019s Puddle boot from fall 2020 and its Lido sandal with its wide band of\u00a0Intrecciato leather<\/a>. She also dreamed up\u00a0Loewe<\/a>\u2019s shoe festooned\u00a0with balloons\u00a0<\/a>and toy-like Comic Foam pumps.<\/p>\n

\n\tAt Dior last week, Christen, designer director of shoes, and Anderson continued to show out-of-the-box designs they became known for at Loewe. One standout was an oversized rounded rosette embellishing several mules \u2014\u00a0in an array of colors. The designers also put their own twist on classics like a pointed-toe kitten heel with a floating heart embellishment and loafers with gold letters spelling out Dior on the upper, complete with an enlarged O in the middle. Another series of kitten-heel sandals with a D-shaped toe and bow on the top was another highlight. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn an interview this spring, Christen said design has always been her calling. \u201cIt was always a very clear path. I knew I wanted to know how to make things,\u201d she said in May.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter enrolling in fashion school, where she studied tailoring and pattern-making, the designer realized she wasn\u2019t invested in ready-to-wear. \u201cBut\u00a0shoes<\/a>, I like everything from rubber boots to home slippers \u2014 everything,\u201d she said. \u2014 With contributions from Lily Templeton<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Talk about a big reveal.
