NEW YORK July 11, 2014 – Michael Kors is pleased to announce the opening of its first Michael Kors Lifestyle store in Beirut, Lebanon, this July.
The 1,361-square-foot store, located in downtown Beirut on Fakhry Bey Street, will carry a mix of accessories from the Michael Kors Collection and MICHAEL Michael Kors labels, as well as watches, jewelry, footwear and eyewear. The store will also carry a selection of the brand’s fragrances.
Michael Kors’ in-house team designed the store to echo the label’s chic aesthetic, using zebra-print furniture, sleek metal fixtures and mirrored surfaces. Glossy, large-scale vintage photographs cover the walls, evoking jet set glamour and timeless sophistication.
“Fashion and style have really become global over the past few years,” says Michael Kors. “I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to open stores in new regions around the world, and I think Lebanon, which has always been renowned for its sophistication, is the perfect choice for our newest location.”
“It’s always exciting entering a new country,” says John D. Idol, Chief Executive Officer. “The Middle East is a key piece of our expansion strategy, and Beirut is a shopping destination for many fashion and luxury customers. We’re looking forward to introducing them to our jet set lifestyle.”
