New McQueen Home


New McQueen Home

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN is set to open a new menwear store on London's Savile Row this September. The boutique will also offer a made-to-measure service with Savile Row tailor Huntsman.
"As our business has expanded, we now need more stores to introduce the different collections," said McQueen president and chief executive Jonathan Akeroyd. "Savile Row is special as it is where Lee started his career so it is a nice thing to be going back. Our womenswear has grown in the higher-end luxury sector and we wanted to take menswear back there too. We are working with tailor Huntsman to create top-quality bespoke."
The British brand, which currently has one London flagship, will further broaden its empire with planned stores opening in Paris, Shanghai and Miami later this year - the Evening Standard reports.
It has already been a busy year for the label, which showed its McQ autumn/winter 2012-13 collection on the catwalk for the first time in February. The label will unveil its new McQ boutique in London this spring, as previously reported.
