BALENCIAGA SÃO PAULO IGUATEMIShopping Center Iguatemi 2232 Avenue Brigadeiro Faria Lima Jardim Paulistano São Paulo 01489-900 Brazil Rain Magazine stands at the forefront of fashion, interweaving the dynamic worlds of music, culture, and art. Dinner was held at Coco’s At Colette, a painfully chic and private members-only club in the General Motors Building. There, Jereissati and Betts curated a guest list so powerful that if a pedestrian tossed a paper airplane towards Madison Avenue, it would likely land atop one of their luxury storefronts. At the restaurant, guests took in exquisite panoramic views of the city that were well worth the ear-popping ride up the elevator. Hors d'oeuvres and glasses of Chablis were enjoyed by Diane Von Furstenberg, Tory Burch, Izumi Sasano, Frederico Turconi, and Anthony Ledru, among others. The chic soiree celebrated the brands choosing Iguatemi as the port of entering the South American continent for the first time. Toasting the room of her colleagues, CEO Betts noted, “So many of you who are here today opened their first store in JK Iguatemi in São Paulo. As Brazil grows and we grow, we can all grow together. That’s the beauty of it.” As tables were laden with red tuna tartare and filet mignon, the windows filled with rich hues of pinks, yellows, and oranges on the Central Park skyline. The brand executives discussed business affairs such as international expansions and upcoming fashion weeks; later, the dessert of chocolate mousse and berries gave way to personal conversations such as family and travel. The evening wrapped with designer Bon Bons in branded goodie bags—no detail was ignored. The Iguatemi clientele care is steadfast. As Brazil's voracious appetite for luxury grows, Iguatemi stays on the pulse of expansion to ensure the utmost client satisfaction.

Soda’s top out at BRL R$14 (USD $4.25) for a large. If you look closely enough, you may be able to see the hustle and bustle of a working restaurant kitchen just behind the concession stand. The chefs and their assistants all wear protective hair nets and sanitary shoe coverings as they prepare mini-cheeseburgers, smoked salmon wraps, ciabatta paninis, pizzas, Nutella crepes, and other dishes. You can order these meals from the concession stand or from wait staff in any of the auditoriums. Upon arriving at your seat you’ll find a menu detailing a selection of meals, snacks and beverages, including soft drinks, alcohol and even coffee. A beer will cost you about BRL R$ 9 (USD $2.71) or you can order it in a combo with either popcorn, nachos or other snacks for between BRL R$ 32 and R$ 37 (USD $9.65 and $11.16). As for hard liquor, just name your spirit; Johnny Walker Black will set you back BRL R$ 30 (USD $9) or Belvedere vodka can be had for BRL R$ 34 (USD $10.25) All food and beverages can be ordered from wait staff who will bring it to you right in your seat either before or during a film. It’s worth noting that throughout our mid-day visit on a Tuesday the service was stellar, with attentive employees assisting us during our entire stay. Something that might not be as unique, at least in Brazil or many other parts of the world, is that, except for the IMAX screen, each of the auditoriums has a sponsor. The 4DX screen is sponsored by Coca-Cola and the remaining screens by Santander Bank. In fact, use your Santander credit card when purchasing tickets or concessions and you’ll get 50% off the price. Otherwise, regular admission costs between BRL R $ 41 to R $ 78 (USD $12.35 to $23.50) for 2D films and BRL R $ 49 to R $ 78 (USD $14.80 to $23.50) for 3D, IMAX and 4D screenings, making it one of the most expensive cinemas in São Paulo. But then, keep in mind, rent at the temple of consumption surely doesn’t come cheap and Cinépolis is providing a luxury cinema-going experience in one of the largest cities in the world.

Like the first, the new space should be inviting, innovative and surprising to provide customers with an enriching and enjoyable shopping experience. Between stairs and accessed by to opposite entrances, the store allows customers to cross inside to reach parallel corridors of the mall. Taking advantage of this arrangement, Arthur Casas and team created a path whose carbonized solid wood sides have shelves from floor to ceiling to accommodate the labels horizontally. © Filippo BamberghiRemembering the old wineries, the carbonized solid wood wall was developed exclusively for this space thru a delicate process in which it is heated to a temperature of 3000 degrees celsius to acquire a special materiality: the brownish tone and a curvilinear character. © Filippo BamberghiThe sides of the path contrast with the bright off-white floor and ceiling. Such composition is accentuated by the lighting design, which makes walls look detached from the floor and the ceiling. Inside, the “Mesa amorfa” (amorphous table), also designed by the architect, serves as support for attending and for the wine exhibition. There is also a touch screen television for guests to delve into the history and beverage properties. © Filippo BamberghiLocated at one of the entrances and air-conditioned wine cellar holds the

Pinheiro for BoF By Ann Binlot07 October 2013The Daily Digest NewsletterThe essential daily round-up of fashion news SÃO PAULO, Brazil — At just over 387,500 square feet sprawled across four levels with over 200 stores a state- of-the-art cinema and public art on display light-filled JK Iguatemi in São Paulo is a stunning example of Brazil's powerful mall culture During its opening weekend in July 2012, some 70,000 people visited the mall to witness the South American debuts of Coach mixed in with Brazilian labels such as Osklen For Carlos Jereissati Filho the stylish and well-spoken 42-year-old CEO and president of Iguatemi Group the shopping mall developer that also oversees 12 other malls in the country JK Iguatemi is the culmination of two decades of tirelessly working to bring the best luxury brands from around the world to Brazil Jereissati Filho can’t remember a time when he wasn’t immersed in the world of shopping As the son of Brazilian business magnate Carlos Jereissati Sr. Jereissati Filho spent his childhood playing in the Iguatemi São Paulo shopping centre — Brazil’s first mall — which was owned by his family “I was born in this mall business,” says Jereissati “As a little kid I remember my father giving money to my sister and me to count the bags in the mall.” The two would eagerly approximate which retailers did the most business by how many of their shopping bags they spotted consumers carrying Jereissati Filho grew up in the Brazil of the 1970s and 1980s Import restrictions were so tight that it was virtually impossible for foreign prestige brands to enter the Brazilian market Those who wanted high-end goods had to venture outside Brazil to purchase them or ask friends or relatives to bring them back his family holidays abroad exposed him to upscale “I remember my mother being a customer,” he recalls “It was always a dream for me to be able to have all those brands inside the country and for Brazil to really be a part of this luxury world.” As the government lifted import restrictions in the early 1990s Jereissati Filho began making this dream a reality After earning his business degree at Fundação Getulio Vargas in São Paulo he joined the family business in 1994 as a marketing officer and quickly rose up the ranks to become CEO in 2005 Along the way he helped Emporio Armani and Louis Vuitton make their first moves into a Brazilian shopping mall when they opened at Iguatemi São Paulo in the late 1990s first because Brazil was not the Brazil of today,” says Jereissati Filho “We had to convince people that we were a market that would have enough shoppers for their brand And we had to show them that our malls were more like department stores and would be the meeting point for rich Brazilians.” “Iguatemi is the most important shopping centre in Brazil and it was the first one to improve its ambiance service level to accommodate the luxury brands,” observes Carlos Ferreirinha president of Brazilian luxury consulting company MCF Consutoria & Conhecimento But not only does a location at Iguatemi position luxury companies to capitalise on the country’s growing wealth it also provides an important opportunity for brand exposure who can be reluctant to shop for international luxury goods at home due to the country’s heavy import duties are more likely to purchase the brand when they travel abroad we’re welcoming Brazilian tourists in increasing numbers to our North American stores,” says Ian Bickley president of Coach International on his company’s decision to open a store at JK Iguatemi taking out the guess work of what it takes to open a Brazil store "We helped them with all the information they need in terms of logistics — what does it take to open a franchise in Brazil how much they cost," says Jereissati Filho the owner of Brazilian fashion house Daslu who was arrested and released for fraudulent imports in 2008 can be credited with bringing Louis Vuitton while developer JHSF’s Shopping Cidade Jardim mall is home to the first and only Emilio Pucci Hermès and Jimmy Choo stores in the country But so far reports indicate that launching at an Iguatemi mall drives results Sales at Diane von Furstenberg ’s Iguatemi São Paulo location rank second to her New York flagship and the Goyard custom painting service at JK Iguatemi — the only one in the country — has been a hit “The country is still undergoing a process of maturation,” concludes Mr Ferreirinha coupled with the robust growth of the middle class creates the perfect environment for consumers who want to access what is different and allow themselves a moment of shopping outside their usual range The luxury market still has much room to grow in the country and different consumers to win over.”
