Gabriela Hearst’s Beverly Hills Flagship Launch: Where Laura Dern, Maria Sharapova, and St. Vincent Embrace Sustainable Luxury

The grand opening of Gabriela Hearst's first West Coast flagship store was marked by an exclusive event at the Beverly Wilshire in Beverly Hills, attended by luminaries such as Laura Dern, Maria Sharapova, St. Vincent, and Roda Ahmed. The presence of these vanguards of their respective fields—each an advocate for sustainability and luxury—perfectly echoed the ethos of the Gabriela Hearst brand.

Following the grandeur of the opening night, the Gabriela Hearst flagship store in Beverly Hills itself stands as a testament to the harmonious blend of design and sustainability. Conceived by the acclaimed Norman Foster of Foster + Partners, the store brings Hearst’s commitment to sustainable luxury to life. This commitment to eco-conscious design is evident in every detail, from the hand-crafted Nomad furniture collection to the Roman Clay vaulted ceilings — a modern homage to traditional craftsmanship.

The heart of the store's interior is the "Nomad" furniture collection, a brainchild of Antoine Dumas and Benji Gavron from Gavron Dumas Studio. Their passion for woodwork and craftsmanship aligns seamlessly with Hearst’s vision, resulting in a unique furniture line that not only elevates the store's ambiance but also sets a new benchmark for sustainable design in retail spaces.

Gabriela Hearst's flagship store stands as a physical embodiment of her visionary ethos—a space where the brand's spirit becomes experiential. Expressing deep gratitude for the harmonious partnership with Foster + Partners and the creative flair of Gavron Dumas Studio, Hearst views the store not just as a place of commerce but as a living testament to collaboration, an ode to the beauty of the natural environment, and a showcase of sustainable design that honors both tradition and the well-being of our planet.

Drawing inspiration from Hearst's family ranch in Uruguay, the store features a blend of natural materials and artisanal excellence. The store’s interior, particularly the hand-applied Roman Clay vaulted ceiling, diverges from contemporary prefabrication, highlighting the brand's dedication to traditional craftsmanship and environmental respect.

Adhering to sustainable principles, the Nomad collection by Gavron Dumas Studio is a triumph of eco-friendly design. Comprising locally sourced and sustainably harvested Western Sycamore timber, each piece crafted by local artisans is a statement of the studio’s commitment to environmentally responsible luxury.

The store's design balances minimalism with warmth. The fine grain of the timber, the rose gold aluminum door handles inspired by Hearst’s family ranch, and the bespoke rugs and wall hangings by Brooklyn-based artist Eli Tamarkin, all contribute to a unique shopping experience. The store proudly features Gabriela Hearst's complete range of collections, including exclusive West Coast offerings of her renowned handbag line.

Gabriela Hearst's new Beverly Hills flagship is more than a store; it's a landmark of sustainable luxury and a beacon of modern, conscious design. Situated in one of the most illustrious locations in Beverly Hills, it invites fashion enthusiasts to experience luxury that is as thoughtful about the environment as it is about style.
