Less than a year after gracing DTLA's PacMutual Building with its avant-garde fashion and art, capsule of cool Please Do Not Enter is planning for a major expansion. The unique retailer founded by Parisians Emmanual Renoird (an interior designer) and Nicolas Libert (a real estate vet) tells us that due to fast-paced success they're moving into a "twice bigger and twice higher" space in Pac's oldest space: the 1908-built Clock Building on the ground floor.

"Our new location is almost 2,000 square feet, has five windows on the PacMutual lobby and a large window on the street, facing the soon-to-be remodeled Pershing Square," Libert tells us. "Given that we represent 12 fashion designers (Christophe Lemaire, Walter Van Beirendonck, Jean Paul Knott, Denis Colomb, 22/4, more), 14 accessories makers, five jewelry designers, and ten contemporary artists, we needed the extra space!"

Stay tuned for Please Do Not Enter 2.0's official unveiling. In the meantime, look forward to January 30th, where the current shop will exclusively showcase a contemporary art collection designed for Silencio, David Lynch's nightclub in France.
