Concession to debut at Milan flagship
Luxury shoe and accessories retailer Kurt Geiger has signed a partnership deal with Italian department store group La Rinascente to open a concession in its flagship Milan shop.

La Rinascente, run by former Selfridges chief executive Vittorio Radice, has joined forces with the British fashion retailer in a bid to transform and expand its multi-branded fashion offering.

The department store's first Kurt Geiger concession will open next February, to tie in with Milan fashion week. If successful, the concept may be rolled out across Italy.

Kurt Geiger will launch a number of British designer brands that are not available in Italy at present, as well as its four own-label brands.

Radice said: 'I worked closely with the Kurt Geiger team for many years during my time at Selfridges. They are undoubtedly the best multi-branded luxury shoe retailer in Europe.'
