Allsaint Opens a Store with a New Architectural Concept

The global contemporary fashion brand opens a new store at Manchester Arndale in Manchester, England.

After several years of active trading on Market Street, AllSaints committed to renting in a new location in the city center. The modern global fashion brand has opened the doors to a beautifully designed new store on New Cannon Street, joining an attractive line of well-known fashion brands including Gap, Monki, Superdry, River Island, Victoria's Secret and Victoria's Secret Pink.

AllSaints has introduced one of its market-leading stores, fits its new home. The architectural approach draws inspiration from a variety of sources, including Sverre Fehn’s Nordic Pavilion in Venice and Richard Serra’s industrial-scale steel sculptures. The design uses a reduced palette of exposed materials and finishes, using warm tones of grey concrete and textured floor and wall rendering around the perimeter. Within this series, free-standing steel walls and niches form the space for product demonstrations. AllSaints has partnered with London-based architectural firm AlJawad Pike to launch this project.

The move of AllSaints, along with new lease agreements for leading brands including Uniqlo, Jack & Jones and Quiz, demonstrates the continued trust in the city center as one of the real fashion centers in the north.
