The fashion retailer who counts Ayesha Curry, Meena Harris and women in tech among her customers is opening a store in San Francisco.
She’s opening a second store next month, at 3687 Sacramento Street in San Francisco’s Pacific and Presidio Heights neighborhood. The location is auspicious; it’s next door to pioneeringinstitution Susan, opened by Susan Foslien in 1983, which was one of the first stores to bring Yohji Yamamoto, Comme des Garçons and other conceptual Japanese designers to the West Coast in the 1980s. McMullen’s new space was formerly occupied by Foslien’s Grocery Store fashion boutique.
“San Francisco holds a special place in my heart, as it was my home when I first moved to the Bay Area over 20 years ago,” said McMullen, a native of Oklahoma, who was a buyer at Neiman Marcus before moving to the Bay Area to work as a textile buyer at Pottery Barn Kids. “Expanding our footprint here feels like a full-circle moment. We are eager to develop deeper connections with the community.
She teamed up with San Francisco-based interior designer Noz Nozawa on the space, which incorporates some pieces from her new Corbett Lighting collection. “It was important for me to work with a local interior designer and a woman of color who understands the vibrancy of San Francisco. I admire Noz’s work and was eager to collaborate with her. It has been a dream to work with her and her incredible team,” said McMullen.
“You are always at the helm of what is going to be great. It’s always been that way, and I’ve known you over a decade,” Curry said at a dinner McMullenfor Diotima designer Rachel Scott in Oakland. “I remember stumbling into your store in its first location, and seeing designers I had never heard of before that were so fresh, and artistic and creative and always had meaning behind what they were doing.
