The first store of YSL Cosmetics in South Korea opens in Apgujeong Galleria today. Apgujeong Galleria recently renewed the first floor of the West building and it is the first time YSL brings its cosmetics brand. But, it is not the only brand launching in South Korea for the first time. Annick Goutal from France and Le Labo from the US launch in August. A classic suit brand from Italy, Isaia opens in early September. A Canadian outdoor brand, Canada Goose and Comme des Garçons Play will open pop-up stores. With the renewal of the first floor, Gourmet Emporium will open in October as Shin-Cheongdam Station of the Bundang line opens. Early this month, Hermes wallpaper was introduced at Maison Hermes Dosan Park in Sinsadong. There are six types of wallpaper and their patterns are mainly related to horse, which express the tradition of Hermes. The second floor of the flagship store has been decorated with "La Maison" Collection which includes wallpaper, furniture and fabric. Most products will be custom-made and wallpaper/fabric delivery will take 3-4 weeks and 5-6 months for furniture. It is estimated that if you decorate a 99-square-meter house with Hermes wallpaper, it will probably cost KRW 15m (USD 14k). So have a look and the decision is all yours.
