Fashion brand popular with Beyoncé and Taylor Swift among new Phillips Place stores
Phillips Place is adding two fashion apparel stores, including a favorite among celebrities, as the South Park shopping center redefines itself as an upscale retail and dining destination.
Luxury brands alice + olivia and Jenni Kayne will open this fall, following the already announced women’s designer brand Veronica Beard’s first Charlotte store opening early next month, according to Phillips Place.
The new additions provide an elevated shopping experience that’s been successful within the Charlotte market, according to Phillips Place.
The 1,671-square-foot Phillips Place store is the first standalone Veronica Beard store in North Carolina. The opening date is tentatively set for May 10, Phillips Place’s marketing manager Emmy Berg said Tuesday.
Alice + olivia will make its North Carolina debut in September. The brand is a favorite with celebrities like Beyoncé, Sarah Jessica Parker and Taylor Swift.
And, Jenni Kayne also plans to open in early fall.
Phillips Place recently has added other retailers, including women’s designer shoe Marmi, luxury sports and apparel brand Peter Millar, and restaurants Bonterra Dining & Wine Room and Limani.
Phillips Place is co-owned by Charlotte real estate company Lincoln Harris and HP Village Management, based in Dallas, Texas. HP Village Management is leading the leasing and marketing efforts to bring luxury and contemporary brands to Phillips Place.
