Jean-Paul Fortin

Yorkville Village, Toronto, Ontario

these boots are made for walking

A new signature look was created for Jean-Paul Fortin, the multi-brand footwear retailer, for their first location outside of Quebec at Yorkville Village in Toronto. Befitting of its location in an urban upscale shopping destination, the store evokes understated luxury. The sophisticated palette alternates between a monolithic full-height backdrop of book-matched marble with gold metal accents in the ladies area, to textured wood square panels with black metal accents in the men’s area. The introduction of live greenery on the back wall of the cash area provides unexpected whimsy in the controlled environment.
