The brand's second brick-and-mortar store after their original flagship location on New York's Mulberry Street, the opening of this store will serve as a key piece of ALD's continued expansion after luxury conglomerate LVMH in their operations back in January.
As seen in ALD's Instagram post below, the new store offers a striking blend of old-world elegance and modern sportswear/streetwear style, a formula the -helmed outfit perfected at their Mulberry Street location. Elegant wood walls factor heavily into the design, as does patterned carpet, velvet drapes and luxurious tile floors. Of course, there are some striking pieces of ephemera to be seen as well, with embellishments like OG 1985 and a Tyrrell Winston basketball sculpture contrasting the classically-framed photographs hung on the walls. There's even a record room with an extensive vinyl collection!
