Sephora's Liverpool One store finally opens
By
Nigel TAYLOR
French beauty giant Sephora arrived at Liverpool One on Thursday (22 May), welcoming nearly 1,000 shoppers, many who had queued for the 09:00 opening.
First announced last autumn and following a 'hugely successful' launch in the North East, Sephora's North West England debut takes up a 6,727 sq ft cornerstone unit at a key entrance to Liverpool One's South John Street.
Sephora UK's MD Sarah Boyd said: 'We have had immense demand from our fans in Liverpool to open a store in their city. Liverpool has been a key location in our brand expansion plans, and we were prepared to wait for the right opportunity, which this prominent Liverpool One unit provides.'
Rob Deacon, Asset Management director at Liverpool One, added: 'Sephora is a brand that represents exactly what [we look] for when adding to our line-up. It is globally celebrated, has a huge base of loyal fans, and delivers a bold, compelling concept. Consumer demand for Sephora is strong in Liverpool, and securing best-in-class retailers and experiences for the city is precisely what we aim to achieve at the destination, so the entrance of this beauty powerhouse is a natural partnership.'
Liverpool will be the eighth store in Sephora UK's growing physical retail portfolio, which includes stores in Westfield London and Stratford City, Manchester's Trafford Centre, Newcastle's Eldon Square, Gateshead Metrocentre, Birmingham Bullring and Bluewater in Kent.

Prada parts ways with CEO Gianfranco D'Attis by 'mutual agreement'
D'Attis was appointed to CEO at the Milan-headquartered firm in 2022, a newly created role at Prada, which sits alongside sister brand Miu Miu, as well as Church's, Car Shoe, Marchesi 1824, and Luna Rossa, in the Prada Group fold. In April, the group also confirmed it was acquiring fellow Italian luxury label Versace from Capri Holdings for 1.25 billion euros. Reporting to Guerra, D'Attis's recruitment came at a time of significant restructuring for the company, which saw the now former CEO replace chairman Patrizio Bertelli and Miuccia Prada, who were previously co-CEOs of the group and of the Prada brand. Prior to Prada, the luxury veteran served as president of Christian Dior Couture Americas, following a stint as international managing director of Jaeger-LeCoultre, part of the Richemont group, where he spent most of his early career. From 2003, D'Attis worked for watchmaker IWC Schaffhausen for eleven years, first as brand director for the Middle East, India and Turkey, before taking over as head of the United States and Canada from 2011. In 2014, he moved to Richemont's fashion darling Chloé as international director, where he led the strategic development of the French brand, as well as its commercial growth worldwide. Four years later, in August 2018, he returned to the watchmaking sector, this time working for another Richemont brand, Jaeger-LeCoultre. D'Attis's departure comes just hours after the Prada brand showcased its latest men's collection for the Spring/Summer 2026 season as part of Milan Fashion Week on Sunday. Tellingly, the CEO was not present. In its most recent trading update, Prada Group saw first-quarter net revenue rise 13% at constant exchange rates, held up by Miu Miu, which retail sales soar 60% year-over-year. Prada sales, however, were relatively flat during the three months.
