KENNETH COLE TO OPEN TORONTO FLAGSHIP

Kenneth Cole Productions has announced the opening of its new flagship store in Toronto. Today, Kenneth Cole opens the brand’s first Canadian free-standing store on Queen Street West. The 1,800 square-foot store will sell men’s and women’s footwear, clothing and accessories under the Kenneth Cole New York label.

In October 2016, Kenneth Cole signed an expanded agreement with Haggar Canada Co. to manufacture, market and distribute men’s and women’s apparel and distribute men’s and women’s footwear. Over the last year and a half, the Kenneth Cole lifestyle brand has already began distribution in Hudson’s Bay stores across Canada and in notable independent boutiques.

Customers will be greeted with a lifestyle assortment that makes up the Urban Uniform – versatile and effortless pieces that make daily dressing intuitive. Fashion meets function in all classifications and categories. Kenneth Cole’s collections for men and women are modern classic designs with a distinctive New York feel. The apparel, shoes, and accessories work well with the boldness, energy, and diversity of Toronto.

“For 35 years, Kenneth Cole has defined the standard for New York style and social consciousness,” said Marc Schneider, chief executive officer of Kenneth Cole Productions. “As we continue to focus strategically on our retail business, we are excited to bring this modern lifestyle brand to the Canadian consumer through our own flagship location in the heart of Toronto.”
