Horiyoshi Worldwide opens flagship in London

Luxury clothing and accessories label Horiyoshi the Third,

based on the artistry of world renowned Japanese tattoo artist, Yoshihito Nakano, has opened its first branded retail store in London.

Located at 19 Connaught Street, the new store carries a complete range of women's and men's clothing and accessories and is designed to be a focal point of the brand’s growing international presence.

"We are extremely pleased with the look and feel of our new store and have dedicated a great deal of thought to how the location integrates into our overall vision for the brand.  We feel the location serves as an inflection point that offers close proximity to European fashion centres, which are influential in our design process, while also allowing us to exploit the high level of brand recognition we have in the UK,” said Mitsuo Kojima, President of Horiyoshi Worldwide, Inc. “Our goal is to expand our base in Europe, build our presence in the United States and introduce the brand to the many markets we have targeted in Asia. We are committed to implementing this strategy and the new store in London is an integral part of the plan".
