Fashion label Issa London, that counts the Duchess of Cambridge, actress Eva Mendes and singer Madonna amongst its clients and admirers, has announced that it will open its first ever store in the Roppongi Hills shopping centre, Japan, at the end of March 2013.
Following the success of a pop-up shop in department store Mitsukoshi in Ginza last year, Japan was a natural choice for Issa London‘s first store. The label’s chairwoman Camilla Al Fayed explained that “Japan is the gateway to Asia and we intend to expand into Hong Kong and China within the next few years.” Plans for a store in São Paulo‘s luxury mall Cidade Jardim and another in Kuwait to open later in 2013 are also underway.
