Creative director Maximilian Davis may have truncated the name of the Italian fashion house, but for its recently unveiled Milan boutique, both he and designer Vincent Van Duysen referenced the late founder. Striking slabs of red marble, Salvatore’s favorite color, complement the store’s palette of Venetian stucco and stone floors rendered in warm off-white tones. The softer finishes help bolder moments, such as the red marble, color-blocked marble tables created by designer Andrea Anastasio, and an oceanic ceramic and glass table from Andrea Mancuso and design studio Analogia Project, stand out. Elsewhere, vaulted ceilings evoke the architecture’s deep history: the shop is located within 15th-century Palazzo Carcassola Grandi. The railroad-style interior now features extravagances for the modern age, including a room dedicated to silks, as well as a “lounge” for “relaxing and conversation” between fittings in the shop’s changing rooms.
