Global footwear brand Nine West is celebrating 30 years of trading in the Australian market with a dedicated collection launch and in-store events.
Nine West landed in Australia in 1995, with its first flagship store opening on Collins Street in Melbourne. Originally established in 1978 in New York City, Nine West took its name from its founding address at 9 West 57th Street, NYC. The brand trades in 78 countries globally today.
In Australia, Nine West has boutiques in every state, with standalone concept stores and over 50 locations nationally – including through Myer and David Jones. The brand is managed by over 300 employees across Australia.
To mark the 30-year milestone, the brand has launched its Nine West 30 collection. Designed by the Australian team in the heart of New York’s fashion district, the collection includes a curated range of red products – including accessories, pumps, sneakers and sandals. The range will be sold online and through its more than 50 locations
Alongside the collection launch, Nine West will invite friends of the brand to two celebrations in Melbourne and Sydney.
"Celebrating 30 years of trading on Australian soil is a huge milestone for Nine West,” GM Fiona Healy said. “To reflect on how far we've come in the last 30 years as a brand is incredible.
“We pride ourselves on providing for the modern woman and believe the launch of this collection showcases our commitment to making women feel confident in the shoes they wear."
