Tom Ford to open first London flagship

American fashion designer Tom Ford is set to open his first flagship store in the UK on Sloane Street, becoming the latest addition to the leading luxury retail destination and reinforcing Sloane Street’s reputation. Tom Ford will be the new anchor at

The Cadogan Estate’s new 201-206 Sloane Street development, leasing an 8,000 sq ft store on a 10-year lease at £1.34 million per annum, joining Alberta Ferretti, which recently acquired a 6,000 sq ft unit for a new concept store.

The flagship store, which is scheduled to open in 2013, will carry the designer’s full product range, including menswear, which is currently only available at Selfridges.

Hugh Seaborn, Chief Executive, The Cadogan Estate, said: “We are delighted to have secured such a big name fashion brand as the anchor to 201-206 Sloane Street. With Tom Ford’s arrival - and Alberta Ferretti also opening a flagship store, it enhances the ‘super luxury’ offering of the development and seals its reputation as a world-class fashion destination.”

Ed Humbert, Senior Director, Central London Retail, CBRE, added: “The luxury retail sector is performing incredibly well against a challenging economic climate and we are seeing strong demand for prime retail space.

“Sloane Street is very much in demand and is already home to numerous international leading fashion brands; however, the arrival of Tom Ford’s first London store is major news for The Cadogan Estate – it can only enhance Sloane Street’s luxury offering further.”

Other luxury brand’s already on the street include Chanel, Gucci and Louis Vuitton.
