Milan takes one more fashion-forward step towards ultimate ‘chicdom’ as plans are announced to bring the iconic Parisian department store Galeries Lafayette to the Lombard capital.
For France’s Galeries Lafayette, this will only be its second non-domestic venture in Europe, despite its global success with 65 outlets in more than 100 years of business: 60 in France, plus stores in Berlin, Casablanca, Dubai, Jakarta and Beijing. While, for Westfield, the Milan mall will mark the group’s first opening in mainland Europe.
The new flagship store will be the largest in Europe, covering 18,000 square metres and four floors. Westfield Milan will be the new shopping centre’s name, situated at Segrate, not far from Milan Linate airport. More than 300 luxury and more ‘accessible’ labels will set up shop in the new mall, as well as cinemas, additional leisure activities and food outlets.
