Venice
ABOVE: Seven years ago, the Coin department store
in central Venice shut down--and ever since then, the historic building has just
sat empty on one of Venice's main pedestrian thoroughfares. Now, at long last,
the building is being repurposed as the flagship store of OVS, a Venice-based
international clothing retailer whose tagline is "Love people, not labels."
