TOP FASHION OUTLETS JOIN CANARY WHARF

Canary Wharf Group today announces that it has exchanged contracts with three new fashion retailers, all of which will be joining Canary Wharf for the first time.

Classic Women’s fashion store Hobbs will be opening a 1,701 sq ft outlet in Canada Place on July 15th. Hobbs will be developing a new interior concept for the store, which promises to be a striking departure from the current Hobbs image. It will continue to combine its elegant contemporary lines with a tasteful palette of materials.

Two further retailers are joining Jubilee Place, Canary Wharf’s new 89,500sq ft retail mall opening in September. L.K Bennett will be introducing its unique blend of elegant and feminine collections in a 2,408 sq ft outlet. Designer and founder Linda Bennett, dubbed ‘Queen of the Kitten Heel’ will present a range of directional footwear, clothing and accessories.

Glamorous ladies store Whistles will also be joining Jubilee Place in 1,107 sq ft outlet. Classic tailoring is the core element of any Whistles collection, which offers a complementary range of ladies fashion from seductive chic to urban and casual wear.

These new retailers follow hot on the heels of other prestigious fashion names opening at Jubilee Place including Reiss and Karen Millen. They join an impressive range of fashion outlets at Canary Wharf. These include Phase Eight, Austin Reed and Monsoon as well as high street favourites like Gap, French Connection, Next and Wallis.

Commenting on the new signings, Camille Waxer, VP of Retail, Canary Wharf Group said:

‘The introduction of such high profile and exciting outlets as Hobbs, L K Bennett and Whistles highlights the fact Canary Wharf is increasingly becoming a highly desirable retail fashion destination.’
