American casualwear giant J. Crew is set to open a store on
London’s famous Regent Street. Following the success of the discreet opening of
a small menswear store in Bloomsbury on the 10 October J. Crew are soon to open
the UK flagship store on the 8 November which has taken much more attention of
the public.
The store is set to stock both male and female clothing with
separate entrances for each. As this is the first physical J. Crew store to
open outside of North America the brand is taking a large step towards
globalisation. J. Crew is a highly rated American brand known for its smart and
expensive style and is appreciated by many including Michelle Obama, Sarah
Jessica Parker and Bradley Cooper. After the success of catalogue and ecommerce
in Canada and some European countries it was decided they would cross the pond
and expand into the UK. Also set to open a Women’s Boutique in Chelsea at a
later date J. Crew will have opened three new stores across London in the autumn
season alone. 'It's the next chapter in our growth and our future. It's an important flagship location on arguably one of the most important streets in one of the most important locations in the world.' Millard “Mickey” Drexler, J. Crew’s chairman and chief executive officer told WWD.
Taking up two floors of the 17,000 square ft store previously occupied by Burberry J. Crew are set for success in the UK this Christmas, let’s just hope they keep it up in 2014.
