The Manchester City Centre Store of Selfridges to be Redeveloped

Manchester City Centre

Selfridges store in Manchester City Centre is the premium position the company has decided to invest $20 million in refitting and refurbishing the store. Chief executive Paul Kelly said the redevelopment of its Exchange Square outlet would take several years to complete. Plans include widening the atrium to let in more natural light and allow shoppers to get a view of the different floors on entrance to the store.

Selfridges sells several designer brands including Alexander McQueen, Hermes, Tiffany & Co and Chanel. They want to ensure that the Manchester city centre department store remains a real destination for shoppers. Some of the department will be relocated in the new store. The beauty department will be moved to the lower ground floor, while the ground floor will be turned into a luxury accessories department.

The ladies and menswear department will have more open space. The ceiling on the top floor will be replaced with glass to take in the views of Manchester’s skyline. The transformation will take place in two stages.

Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen became popular for his unorthodox ideas, it not only earned him fame but people became his hard core fans. After all, the amazing creations by Alexander McQueen changed the face of the 90s and the 2000s. McQueen’s position and contribution is undeniable.

Visionaire has decided to pay tribute to the icon. They felt it was high time to do something in the honor of the legend and something of the caliber that would befit the stature of the icon. They have put together a limited edition special issue with contributions from names like Nick Knight, Steven Klien, Mario Sorrenti, Steven Meisel, Mario Testino, Inez Van Lamsweerde, Vinod Matadin and Lady Gaga. They have all come together to honor the legend and the icon.

The Visionary Spirit 58 is going to be very-very exclusive as it will be limited to only 50 pieces. It has been created in very close association with the home of Alexander McQueen. Colette is managing the distribution and sale of this exclusive and very special limited edition creation.
