In the years since, Nicolas has made his presence known, but with a light touch. He’s made updates, including a slimmer cut of suit and introduced women’s accessories and apparel. When we meet, he takes me on a tour of the new, expanded boutique across from the original location on Rodeo Drive (which broke records for its price-per-square-foot when it was sold to LVMH for $122 million in 2015).
