Miu Miu (finally) heads to Sydney with own store . .





Fashion addicts will be soon in style nirvana.
If you have ventured into Sydney city over the last few months, you'll have noticed what used to be Centrepoint, Skygarden and the Imperial Arcade, and in fact the whole precinct that joins David Jones to Myer together . . . and it's looking like a bit of mess.
What you may have noticed is that it is under serious construction.
Enter Westfield, and their top-of-the-line 'leasing' arm, which hosted a relaxed, un-schmoozy, intimate dinner on the stage of the State Theatre (as part of the fundraising Chandon Supper Club supporting Camp Quality). Of course the majestic State, is just opposite the new Westfield precinct.
Slight buzz around the two long tables was that the edhy Miu Miu label, designed by Miuccia Prada, (above)will open it first stand-alone store in the new mega Westfield precinct, late next year
Burberry is going for a mega size store too so big that its dashing designer, Christopher Bailey (picured above) may even be Sydney bound for the opening too.
Others eyeing the the new mega space included execs from Christian Dior, Seven for Mankind Jeans and a serious slew of internationals, as well as Leona Edmiston, Camilla & Marc, Romance Was Born, Zimmermann and Kate Sylvester, who look to be just a few bright sparks who are being courted to join what is being touted as the biggest mall in the southern hemisphere.
Stay tuned.
