Jewellery brand Stephen Webster is opening a flagship US store on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.
From Retail Jeweller
The retail space design will mirror the London and European mono-brand boutiques, which incorporate Stephen Webster’s signature style of glamour with a rock and roll edge. The space will combine Webster’s love for traditional craftsmanship with his passion for contemporary music, fashion and art to produce a modern, unconventional retail aesthetic for showcasing his collections.
“The store on Rodeo Drive will be our first flagship in the US,” said founder and creative director Stephen Webster. “Over the past 10 years we have built strong ties with the LA community including the world of entertainment based there. The opening of this store is set to be extremely significant in our development.”
He added: “This project is very exciting to me and my team who feel that the Stephen Webster brand is shifting to become an all encompassing lifestyle experience”.
Well, I'm not going to make my usual snarky 'well there goes the neighborhood' comment about this. We welcome all retail jewelers to the neighborhood. The more jewelers on the street, the better for our business.
Besides, I love Stephen Webster's whole glam rock vibe and his crystal haze jewelry. God knows that Loree Rodkin needs some local competition.
Plus...now that we have the new Tom Ford store about to open a couple of doors away, we might as well have Stephen Webster on the block too.
And just think, soon we will all be able to go up and down Rodeo Drive and experience, boutique by boutique, each all encompassing lifestyle experience!
Or, we could skip all the retail 'lifestyle' hype and just buy our jewelry online from Beladora.com.
