Marc Jacobs to Open at Elysian Chicago
Louis Vuitton designer Marc Jacobs will open a boutique for his signature collection at the lavish Elysian Hotel development in Chicago (right) early in 2009. Jacobs' quirky, so-hip-it-hurts clothing is revered by celebs like Victoria Beckham, who starred in his ad campaign.Jacobs has inked a ten-year lease on the 2,700-sq.-ft. space, which will be located in the development's Beaux Arts-style retail courtyard. The designer already has a boutique for his bridge line, Marc by Marc Jacobs, in the Windy City.
The 60-story edifice designed by architect Lucien Lagrange, is being billed as "a throwback to the grand hotels of the 1920's with the modern conveniences of today." It features 188 guest suites starting at $600,000, 51 private residences which start at $3 million, and a restaurant by famed chef Charlie Trotter.

Maybe this is happening in other cities, but I am simply amazed at the number of highrises going up, and continue to go up in this town. I've only been here a year and it seems like everyday I see a new building going up. Just down the street from this one will be the new mega-Barneys, across the street from the current Barneys. Everything--bigger, "better", newer. It all cautions me somewhat.
