IKKS Paris launches UK expansion with two stores

French fashion and lifestyle brand IKKS Paris has opened two London stores in Carnaby Street and Kings Road, marking the brand’s entry into the UK.

The first shop is located at 3 Carnaby Street, a 2,610 sq ft flagship spanning two floors with a full collection of womenswear, menswear, and kidswear.

A second 1,300 sq ft store will open at 109 Kings Road in June which will carry the womenswear and junior lines.

IKKS Paris was founded in 1987 by Gérard Le Goff.

Ludovic Manzon, IKKS Paris CEO, said: “Carnaby Street is a perfect location to launch our first standalone store in London, as it’s not only an iconic shopping destination, it’s also where we know our target customers are shopping.

“This will allow us to showcase our full brand collections and to create an exciting space
for our customers to immerse themselves into IKKS Paris.”

Samantha Bain-Mollison, retail director at Shaftesbury, added: “We are delighted that IKKS Paris have opened their flagship store in Carnaby.

“The brand sits perfectly within the existing retail portfolio of exciting fashion concepts on Carnaby Street that offer customers a point of difference and a premium shopping experience. IKKS Paris has unveiled the full general store concept for the first time in this permanent flagship location.”
