Luxury menswear retailer, Harrolds, will open its first women’s department store at Westfield Sydney in February, 2015.

Harrolds women’s will stock a range of fashion houses including Saint Laurent Paris, Balenciaga, Thom Browne, and Balmain.

It will also exclusively stock Tom Ford, and continue to be the only Australian retailer to house the international high fashion phenomenon alongside the men’s department store.

Mary Poulakis, marketing and communications director of Harrolds, said: “There is a thirst in Australia from educated shoppers looking for the high end fashion they see on runways and look books from the finest designers in the world. We are thrilled to announce the launch of the highly anticipated and needed, womenswear store”.
