DESIGNER high street brand Karen Millen is to open a new store in Glasgow.

The international fashion retailer, whose form-fitting gowns are a favourite with actress Eva Longoria, is relocating to Princes Square from Buchanan Street.

The new store will open its doors in mid-November, housing the AW17 collection.

Karen Millen has been based on Buchanan Street for 19 years.

Princes Square is home to designer brands including Vivienne Westwood, Reiss, Whistles and COS.

Beth Butterwick, CEO of Karen Millen, said: “We are really passionate about creating a highly engaging client experience and Princes Square is the perfect example of this.

"Our new store design concept feels luxurious, softer and more feminine and we see this move as an opportunity to better service our clients in a modern and elevated environment.”

Andrew Foulds, Portfolio Director for Redevco (owners of Princes Square), said: “Karen Millen is a globally known name in the fashion world and their decision to move into Princes Square from Buchanan Street reflects the compelling proposition we offer for premium brands to thrive within a wonderful environment."
