| Dolce & Gabbana's new flagship store in Hong Kong is a step towards expansion in Asia |
|
Famous Italian brand Dolce & Gabbana is the latest among a string of global fashion brands to open flagship stores in Hong Kong recently. Following in the footsteps of Armani, Christian Dior and Prada, Dolce & Gabbana's new store is meant as a strategic step towards an expansion in continental Asia.
"From a business point of view, the Hong Kong boutique is surely the first step towards a greater expansion in continental Asia for our brand, which in a few years has more than doubled its business turnover," said designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, who have dressed celebrities like Madonna.
The new shop in the fashionable Central district in Hong Kong will carry the ladies' and the men's collections, and an important selection of accessories, leather goods, sunglasses and fragrances.
The acting director-general of investment promotion at Invest Hong Kong, Mark Michelson, said Dolce & Gabbana's decision to set up its presence in Asia through Hong Kong reinforces Hong Kong's reputation as Asia's leading luxury destination and international style capital.
"Dolce & Gabbana's investment in Hong Kong illustrates the growing appeal to international brand retailers of using Hong Kong as their platform for developing brand recognition in the region," added Mr Michelson.
