Top Fashion Retailers Move to South Coast Plaza
South Coast Plaza is known for being a Southern California address for some of fashion’s most legendary names, including Versace and Dolce & Gabbana. The luxury shopping center announced recently that it will make a play for more fashion with the arrival of five new retailers: Valentino, Chloeacute;, John Varvatos, Replay and Quiksilver.
Valentino will move into the space formerly occupied by the Lucy Zahran store, which relocated to an upstairs level of the mall. The company will have a soft opening in mid- to late July.
A Quiksilver concept store dedicated to new designs for young men will open in early August. The store will be located on level two of the Carousel Court.
The John Varvatos store is tentatively scheduled to open on Labor Day weekend. The New York–based designer also maintains a store in West Hollywood, Calif.
French design house Chloeacute; will open its South Coast Plaza store in Fall/Winter 2005. It will be the second U.S. store for the company.
Replay, the Italian denim and sportswear label, will open its first American store in Fall 2005 in the South Coast Plaza’s Crate & Barrel/Macy’s Home wing. Replay features heavily embellished, hand-worked jeans.
