Meet the new REDValentino, a 2,700-square-foot boutique at the Forum Shops at Caesars. Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, creative directors of Maison Valentino, created the look of this ephemeral space, a succession of three rooms interacting in a surreal way.

Here a warm, antique home is contradicted by contemporary lighting, emphasizing the texture of the white capitonne walls and other metal details. Find surprises within, such as a paper garden beyond the hidden door of the armoire in the first room and the trompe l'oeil of the third room that envelops the visitor in an ephemeral landscape like a surreal Toile de Jouy.
 
The entire package is wrapped in a bright white theme, described as a blank page upon which all are invited to tell their own tales with clothes, to describe their own dreams.

There are currently only three other REDValentino free-standing boutiques in the United States in Costa Mesa, San Francisco and Aventura.
