Fashion retail enters new dimension

The Goldsmiths-branded “Jewellery and Watches” concept, on 59 sqm, features real jewellery and high-end watches, whereas “Sunglasses” (67 sqm) is designed to appeal to all fashion-conscious impulse shoppers confronted with a truly spectacular range of the latest designer eyewear.

The funky oval island in Manchester Airport is one of the outstanding concepts in the history of Nuance. With its organic shapes the store is different to whatever concepts have been developed in the past.

The fresh and colourful appearance of the retail island provides the customers with a summer time feeling ready to take off towards their holiday destinations. Some exciting interactive and entertainment display features support the customers in making their choice.

Jean-Paul Bonnel, CEO, The Nuance Group Europe, commented: “We started discussing our ideas regarding the design of this spectacular retail development with Manchester airport well over a year ago.

Manchester wanted a true department store at the center of their fashion offer. In the beginning there were doubts whether creating a fashion department store of these dimensions was feasible at an airport – it certainly had never been done before.

We went out to benchmark this opportunity together and we worked very closely to define the positioning, ranging and, last but not least, how to deliver a breathtaking design concept.”

Andrew Harrison, Commercial Director, Manchester Airport Group, stated: "We have invested more than £35 million in the redevelopment of our most popular terminal and it was important that we anchored the retail scheme with an excellent department store. We're very pleased to welcome The Nuance Group to this new development and look forward to building on an already excellent relationship with the organisation."
