Characterized by white walls and wooden floors, this fashion store is distributed across two floors. The upper level is dedicated to women and children clothing, whilst the ground floor hosts menware alongside more casual looks and fashionable cocktail outfits.

White walls, black beams, wooden steps, different murals conceived by Dirk Van Doren, large vases – which you must buy as well – and different pieces of furniture created and customized specifically for this store by Alberto Aspesi, create a unique and exclusive worth visiting place.
Just as its name suggests, the project pays tribute to the measurement system Modulor created by Le Corbusier with the same name in the 60s. The architect was also inspired by the Leonardo Da Vinci’s theory of establishing a direct relation between the proportions of building and human-beings.
