In celebration of its 10th anniversary, RĂ©alisation Par opened the doors to a new Mount Street flagship location in London to share a reimagined experience full of whimsical details. Styled more like a private apartment than a commercial property, the flagship destination welcomes visitors into a gallery-style walkway that leads to a concealed VIP selfie room decorated with silk panels. On-site, there's an analog film photo booth for creating take-home memories, in the dressing rooms are handheld video cameras, and the CCTV system sees guests projected onto digital wall screens in real time.
Perhaps most novel of all, the location features an exclusive direct phone line within a vintage red telephone box that lets shoppers instantly order dry martinis straight from the legendary fine dining restaurant Scott's across the street.
