Tokyo: Where to Eat: Power Scene: Armani/Privé

Armani/Privé

The Main Man himself came to town to supervise the opening of this complex, a Ginza tower block devoted to hedonism in all its forms, from clothes to food to spa-style pampering. Not a place for a simple bowl of pasta but a venue for a client-impressing cocktail or power lunch. Take a good look around the entire store on the way to the top: what Armani is road-testing today in the design-appreciating and food-loving Japanese capital will likely find its way to a store near you. The spa is Armani’s first venture into this area: the youthful-looking designer is surely the anti-aging treatments’ greatest advertisement.
