From the Architect:

Along the very fashionable Avenue George V, Miss K? stands out like a warp zone, the place in a video game that whisks you into a parallel dimension. Swept into a mesmerising world, visitors are invited to plunge into one of those crazy décors in which all codes are abolished, becoming actors in their own adventure where every sense is stimulated and astonished. For Miss K?, Philippe Starck pushed the scripting of space to the absolute limit.

“Miss K? is a place of freedom that, to some degree, is going to invent itself.”
Philippe Starck

It is more an evolving installation than a décor; he designed an immersive work in which every detail recounts the story of an imaginary heroine, Miss K?.

A faceless Eurasian who reveals herself in modest nudity, a body entirely covered in tattoos. Miss K? is a mystery that is blurred in the staging orchestrated by the designer. He cultivates an entire environment around her that stirs the senses and fires the imagination.

“Sometimes dreams are feverish, crazy, strange. You wake up, somehow changed, dazzled by what you experienced, relieved to come to your senses, yet sad to not be sure of going back. That’s what Miss K? is. That’s all it is, and it is, above all, that.”
Philippe Starck
