JIL SANDER Limited-Time Experience Store Lands in Former Residence Garden

The unique geographical location integrates with Suzhou culture, providing excellent inspiration and creating conditions for the concentrated display of commercial characteristics under the Chinese cultural system.
Among them, the former residence garden of Yanlord Cangjie, which dates back a century, has now become a new world, linking Suzhou culture and modern fashion, providing sufficient imagination and creative space for the landing of international brands in the future.
In 2023, Yanlord Cangjie will continue to promote cooperation with international fashion brands, and reproduce Suzhou's fashion-leading trend in Jiangnan culture.

In October 2022, WallpaperSTORE*003, a limited-time pop-up store jointly built by Yanlord Cangjie and Wallpaper*, a bible of the design industry, landed in the former residence garden.
The ancient architecture and pioneer installation are mutually mapped, and the historical texture and sci-fi landscape are intertwined, fitting within the openness and inclusiveness of Suzhou.
In December 2022, Maison Margiela, a French haute couture fashion brand of OTB Group, opened up a “white world” with hidden scenery in Suzhou that collided with a blend of avant-garde and Suzhou's aesthetic.
Next, with the debut of JIL SANDER's 苏园·桑生 2023 spring and summer series limited-time experience store, Suzhou's aesthetic form has been further updated.
