This holiday season, glamour awaits just beyond the revolving doors of The St. Regis New York as the hotel invites you to discover The Armarium Chalet.
Carrying on Bronson van Wyck’s annual tradition of his renowned holiday pop-up, this year he has collaborated with Armarium co-founders Trisha Gregory and Alexandra Lind Rose to bring haute couture fashions, exquisite accessories and unexpected gifts via Armarium’s style on-demand services and product offerings to The St. Regis New York. For those guests looking for the perfect hostess gift or holiday present, van Wyck has curated a selection of key entertaining pieces from luxury lifestyle brand AERIN.
An iconic purlieu of fashion’s elite from Babe Paley to Diana Vreeland to Marilyn Monroe, The St. Regis New York will be the very first to debut the one-of-a-kind Armarium retail experience, presented by Gregory and Rose as a onestop shop for all your holiday needs. A truly singular shopping experience, Armarium offers the opportunity to borrow highly coveted fashion, perfect for a holiday weekend or festive city soiree, all styled upon request by the leading industry professionals. Celebrated photographer Claiborne Swanson Frank photographed the Armarium campaign, featuring stunning images of model Giorgia Tordini in the storied halls of The St. Regis New York. All looks from this sumptuous campaign will be available in the Armarium Chalet.
Beginning on November 13, guests and visitors who frequent the landmark hotel will be enchanted by the hotel’s lobby, masterfully transformed by van Wyck into a golden metallic forest inspired by the untouched winter refuge of the Swiss Alps. Their journey through the mystical forest will end in The Armarium Chalet, nestled within the hotel’s Cognac Room. Reimagined as a sumptuous European hunting lodge, the bazaar will feature stunning draped green malachite walls, layer tapestries, a gorgeously tented ceiling, vintage hand-knotted Oriental rugs, hand-braided wreaths and garlands. The room gives way to a dream-like tree with naturally-shed antlers and floating candles woven among the branches.
