Karen Millen returns to UK high street with concession rollout

Luxury womenswear label Karen Millen is returning to the UK high street after a seven-year hiatus through a rollout of concession stores. The expansion is being conducted in partnership with The Foschini Group (TFG).

The first location is scheduled to open at Leicester’s Fosse Park on 14 August. This will be followed by openings at Liverpool One and Aberdeen Union Square on 17 August. Each concession will feature curated collections, with a focus on occasionwear and the brand’s ‘Forever Collection’ of signature pieces.

Debenhams Group CEO Dan Finley stated that the move responds to customer demand for physical retail experiences. Karen Millen previously operated as an online-only business following its acquisition by Boohoo Group and subsequent rebranding to Debenhams Group in 2021.
