More Luxe Fashion Stores to Open at South Coast Plaza
South Coast Plaza, one of the longest-surviving malls in Southern California, keeps adding stores.
Recently, Alexander McQueen and Givenchy opened boutiques at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, Calif.
This fall, British retailer All Saints, California retailer Eve by Eve’s and New York–headquartered Lafayette 148 will be joining the crowd.
The Givenchy outpost at South Coast Plaza is the fashion house’s only branded store on the West Coast, according to a South Coast Plaza statement.
Inside, the interior is reminiscent of the boxes used by founder Hubert de Givenchy to deliver his couture pieces to patrons.
Before the South Coast Plaza store opened, Givenchy was typically available in such department stores as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. The new Givenchy store will offer the retailer’s men’s and women’s lines.
Alexander McQueen is a little more prolific in California. Earlier this year, it opened a Rodeo Drive boutique in Beverly Hills, Calif. The Costa Mesa shop will be the fashion house’s seventh shop in the United States.
South Coast Plaza, owned and run by the Segerstrom family, focuses on bringing luxury brands to its Orange County shopping mecca. Other luxe fashion houses at South Coast Plaza include Balenciaga, Canali, CH Carolina Herrera, Chanel, Prada, Dior and Dolce & Gabbana.
