Roland Mouret has plans to open his first ever store stateside. The designer announced the opening of a New York store during the course of the summer at his recent auutmn-winter 2014/2015 runway show in Paris.

"America was the first international market to support me, so it was important for me that it also be the site of my first store outside of the U.K," said the London-based designer.

Designed by Bozarth Fornell and located a 952 Madison Avenue in Manhattan, the store will measure 130m² and will carry ready-to-wear, accessories and the designer's bridal line, The White Collection, as well as a selection of reissued items from the archives.

"I wanted to create the world of Roland Mouret for amazing American women who want to discover my clothes [and] to build an atmosphere where she feels relaxed. This is a store but also a home away from home,” Mouret said. The New York store is the second following a location in London.

"I have experienced so much at our house at 8 Carlos Place in Mayfair, which has served as starting point of learning for me and has brought me closer to the Roland Mouret woman. I cannot wait to learn as much from our new home at 952 Madison Avenue," he continued.
