Karen Millen is set to make a return to physical retail after seven years, with a rollout of concession stores across the UK.

Its High Street comeback will see the fashion brand’s collections stocked in stores within The Foschini Group (TFG), which includes Hobbs, Phase Eight and Whistles.

“Karen Millen is a brand with real heritage, recognition and a loyal customer base, so bringing it back to the High Street is a significant moment,” said Dan Finley, CEO, Debenhams Group. “Our customers want great fashion, but they also want to experience brands in different ways, and physical retail gives us another opportunity to do that.”

The first concession will land this Friday (14 Aug 2026) in Leicester’s Fosse Park and will be swiftly followed by two further openings on Mon 17 Aug in Aberdeen’s Union Square & Liverpool One. Each store will be stocked with curated collection, focusing on Karen Millen’s occasion wear and bestselling pieces.

“Working with TFG allows us to bring the Karen Millen signature craftsmanship and occasionwear to a new generation of customers, while building on the strength of a brand that has been part of British fashion for more than four decades,” Finley added.

Through its bricks-and-mortar return, Karen Millen will give shoppers the opportunity to experience the brand in person, try on styles before purchasing and enjoy premium in-store experiences, it said in a press release.
