Ermenegildo Zegna coming to Paris-end of Collins Street

The Paris-end of the Melbourne CBD is set to welcome a new international luxury fashion brand - Ermenegildo Zegna.

The Italian fashion house has signed a lease to open a new flagship store concept at AMP Capital Wholesale Office Fund’s Collins Place.

Ermenegildo Zegna is taking 400 square metres over two levels at 45 Collins Street, in what will be a new, expanded Melbourne headquarters for the label. It will join Giorgio Armani, which recently recommitted to its premises, on the Collins Street frontage of the building.

AMP Capital Wholesale Office fund manager Nick McGrath said: “Collins Place is an iconic property, occupying a premium location on Collins Street in Melbourne and the AMP Capital Wholesale Fund is pleased to welcome Ermenegildo Zegna as a new tenant to the precinct and to extend our relationship with Giorgio Armani”.

He said the fund had been actively revitalising Collins Place to improve experiences for visitors by enhancing the public space areas and delivering an exciting retail offer.

Ben Tremellen of Colliers International negotiated the Ermenegildo Zegna lease on behalf of AMP Capital.

The new signing comes amid reports in The Australian Financial Review that French luxury handbag maker Longchamp is in talks to replace luxury retailer Hermès as tenant of its 115 Collins Street.
