About Harvey Nichols
Harvey Nichols was founded in 1831 as the first fashion lifestyle boutique. Today it represents the ultimate fashion experience, renowned both in the UK and internationally for its edited selection of brands across fashion, beauty, fragrance, lifestyle and food.
Harvey Nichols currently has stores in London, Leeds, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Manchester and Bristol in the UK, Dublin in the Republic of Ireland and internationally Riyadh, Hong Kong, Dubai, Turkey and Kuwait. The London flagship store is located in the heart of Knightsbridge, London’s most fashionable and exclusive shopping district.
In addition to its fashion retailing business, Harvey Nichols successfully redeveloped the top floor of the London flagship store to create a Restaurant, Bar, Café, Wine Shop and Foodmarket which have become destinations in their own right. A similar concept operates from the top floors of all Harvey Nichols full-size stores.
Harvey Nichols launched its first stand-alone restaurant in 1996, the highly successful OXO TOWER Restaurant, Bar and Brasserie, with spectacular views of the River Thames. A further restaurant, Prism Brasserie, opened in the financial district of the City of London in 1999.
November 2012 saw the opening of Beauty Bazaar, Harvey Nichols, a globally innovative concept that provides the ultimate luxury beauty experience and the UK's first, one-stop beauty destination. Utilising 22,000 square feet of retail space, the store extends across three floors in the heart of Liverpool's fashion hub - Liverpool ONE.
In April 1996, Harvey Nichols obtained a full listing on the London Stock Exchange and for the subsequent period of almost seven years remained as a listed company. February 2003 saw the return of Harvey Nichols to private ownership and Harvey Nichols Group Limited is now owned by the Hong Kong based retail magnate, Dr. Dickson Poon whose retail businesses extend to North America, Europe, Japan, China and South-East Asia.
Further information on Harvey Nichols can be found on the website.
And if none of that convinces you this is going to be a brilliant event, there's always my review of last month's Fresh Laces Sneaker and Lifestyle Fair at Dray Walk Gallery to jog your memory...
