Dolce&Gabbana’s palatial new store in Venice is among the first fruits of an alternative retail direction for the Italian fashion house, which is dropping the global identity of its outlets to give more latitude to individual locations and architects. The Venetian design, by Parisbased studio Carbondale, draws on both D&G’s heritage and the unique architecture of the city. “Venice is not a shopping destination, like Paris or Milan,” says Carbondale founder Eric Carlson. “It’s a cultural destination, and the idea was: make somewhere visitors put on their list of things to see.”
