US fashion house Thom Browne to make UK store debut on Albemarle Street
Fashion house Thom Browne is to open its first British store in a Mayfair street that is being transformed into a hub for international brands.
The New York company, which counts Michelle Obama among its celebrity fans, has signed a deal with landlord Trophaeum to open a shop in Albemarle Street within months.
Property sources said outdoor fashion house Moncler had also just signed a deal with Trophaeum on a shop in the street.
Trophaeum director Matt Farrell said: “Albemarle Street continues to go from strength to strength. 2017 is set to be an exciting year with more signings and the opening of ISABEL, sister restaurant to Casa Cruz in Notting Hill.”
The property firm, which buys buildings for European investors and has built a portfolio of properties on Albemarle Street, has been giving the area a major makeover.
Shoe firm Casadei, a favourite of Katy Perry, opened a shop on the street last year and in 2015 Aquazzura and fashion accessories firm Faliero Sarti opened their first British shops there.
