Tween retailer Claire’s (Hoffman Estates, Ill.) says its just-opened store in Paris allows shoppers to experience the future of the brand. The 1200-square-foot store was designed in collaboration with Claire’s Creative Director-in-Residence, Nicola Formichetti.

The store is located on Rue Faubourg St. Antoine in the 11th Arrondissement, an area known for its gourmet restaurants and hip bars.

“We want our customers to feel inspired – through our product, our content and our innovative creative partnerships – but most importantly, through the shopping experience itself,” said Richard Flint, Claire’s President of Europe. “The new Paris store is a portal into our brand world and a glimpse into our future. Full of immersive experiences and innovative touches, we’re inviting consumers to have fun, experiment and co-create with Claire’s.”

The Paris store – the brand’s eighth in the city – is designed for total brand immersion with experiences and social storytelling at its core, its creators say. An ear-shaped “chandel-ear” designed by Formichetti celebrates the brand’s #EarPrint campaign. The store will also serve as a launch pad for new products and test lines, while hosting a steady rotation of experiential and pop-up events.

Claire’s was recently named to Fast Company magazine’s list of “Most Innovative Retailers.”
