The redesign boasts five rooms on the first floor (including individual handbag and shoe salons) -- decorated with contemporary art and furniture from designers such as Claude Lalanne and sculptor Jeff Zimmerman, as the backdrop for Dior’s infamous wares. Although it’s filled with artwork, company CEO Sidney Toledano insists the store has a relaxed and comfortable feel.

"We want to give the feeling of an apartment,” he said. Marino echoed his sentiment: “It’s kind of like how I want to live,” he said of the space.

Hollywood’s elite can escape prying paparazzi on the street level and hit the exclusive VIP area in the mezzanine for private appointments. However, if shopping among the masses is preferred, the ready-to-wear salon is complete with a custom fireplace and seating area, which leads to the fine jewelry room.
