The Kering-owned luxury brand is set to open its very first standalone store in Canada this year at Yorkdale Shopping Centre in Toronto.
The new store will replace a J. Crew store in the mall that occupies a space of 4,125sq ft as well as a 1,250sq ft lower level. According to the lease plans, the store’s façade will span a staggering 43 feet. The store will be located between Yorkdale’s Montblanc and Burberry boutiques in the mall’s original luxury wing. Located across from the store are retailers including Piaget, Panerai, Vacheron Constantine, IWC, and Van Cleef & Arpels.
The Alexander McQueen brand and store will feature ready-to-wear clothing for women and men alongside a range of bags, accessories, jewellery, and footwear.
Across the US, Alexander McQueen operates 11 standalone stores in major fashion destinations, including urban street fronts and in luxury shopping centres.
