Jaklitsch's Marc by Marc Jacobs shop on Melrose in Los Angeles draws on the stripmall tradition, though opens up into more of a loft style interior. Photograph by John Linden. -
Skylights afford much of the lighting, though the exposed trusses and cool hues give the shop a delightfully industrial feel. Photograph by John Linden. -
What I liked most about this shop when I visited was that it felt more like a mercantile than a clothing store. Shoppers have a real chance to breathe when inside, and a variety of spaces and experiences to be had beyond racks of shirts and pants. Photograph by Paul Warchol. -
Famed eyewear brand Moscot employed Jaklitsch for this shop in New York. Photograph by Paul Warchol. -
Moscot Eyewear is a New York institution, and Jaklitsch sought to draw on that heritage while still giving the place a revamped, designed feel. Photograph by Paul Warchol. -
Jaklitsch's Svensson Loft in New York is a mid-century design fan's fantasy of ample light and lovely wood. A generous library (behind the paneled doors) can be closed off completely from the rest of the house. Photograph by Paul Warchol. -
Inside the library is a wall of books and spots to lounge. Photograph by Paul Warchol. -
Outside the foosball table reigns. All the more reason to shut the doors when curling up with a good book. Photograph by Paul Warchol. -
Here is a glimpse from the interior of the Marc Jacobs store in San Francisco out to Maiden Lane, one of the city's pedestrian alleys. Photograph by Paul Warchol. -
The clean, modern interior of the Parisian Marc Jacobs store is belied by its decidedly trad facade of the Palais-Royal in the center of town. Photograph by Paul Warchol. -
Once inside the arcade, you get a much better view of how Jaklitsch made use of the seven bays the store occupies. Photograph by Jean Philippe Caulliez. -
I love certain elements he chose to retain, such as this glossy, black handrail. Photograph by Jean Philippe Caulliez. -

Another view of the Parisian shop. -
Just across Melrose from the Marc by Marc Jacobs store sits Marc Jacobs with its unmistakably lush facade. -
Inside the vibe has something of an Art Deco, old Hollywood air. Photograph by Paul Warchol. -
Curtains along the elliptical wall are meant to evoke a sense of grandeur, as though Katherine Hepburn might wander out of an old comedy at any moment. Photograph by John Linden.
