Aritzia is expanding its New York footprint with the opening of a new Flatiron flagship boutique on Friday, November 21 at 115 Fifth Avenue.
Located just a few blocks from the retailer’s original Flatiron boutique, which debuted in 2015, the new space is nearly triple the size of its predecessor at 25,000 square feet, and features double the street frontage.
Designed by Aritzia’s in-house team, the two-level boutique draws inspiration from Second Empire architecture, characterized by fluted cast-iron columns, scalloped ceilings, monolithic masonry archways, custom molding, bronze accents, and marble finishes.
The boutique incorporates Aritzia’s signature experiential elements, including curated artwork, in-house playlists, and an on-site A-OK Café with an expanded menu. The Flagship also has a total of 38 styling suites in the Atelier area, plus a cozy lounge area.
“We’re thrilled to be growing in New York City with the opening of our newest flagship boutique in the heart of Flatiron,” said Jennifer Wong, CEO of Aritzia.
“In just one year, we’ve opened new, expanded flagship boutiques in SoHo, Rockefeller Center, and now Flatiron — a reflection of our thriving community in New York. This milestone marks an exciting next chapter as we bring our everyday luxury experience to even more clients across the city.”
The Vancouver-based fashion brand is marking its third flagship opening in New York City within a year, following recent launches in SoHo and Rockefeller Center. The expansion underscores the brand’s strong momentum in the U.S. and the continued growth of its New York customer base.

Nearly three quarters of fashion executives expect to hike prices next year as tariffs and rising costs weigh on the industry, according to a report by McKinsey & Co.
That’s a big jump from a year earlier when only about half of executives said they expected to raise prices, McKinsey’s data shows. The price increases will seek to offset higher tariffs and costs, according to McKinsey.
McKinsey also projects that industry growth will remain muted for the year as “heightened macroeconomic volatility is expected to continue to weigh on sentiment and drive value-conscious consumer behaviour.”
Consumers have pulled back in recent months and prioritised essential purchases as rising costs across the economy erode discretionary spending. A number of fashion and apparel brands have said they’ll raise prices in recent earnings reports.
In September, American Eagle Outfitters Inc. chief financial officer Mike Mathias said that raising pries is “one tool in the kit” that will be used to compensate for higher expenses. The retailer will also look to optimise where it’s producing its products as well as negotiate with suppliers and seek lower freight costs.
Earlier this month, Ralph Lauren Corp. chief financial officer Justin Picicci told investors that the company is making “modest adjustments” to prices for the brand’s fall and spring 2026 line-ups in response to higher tariffs.
McKinsey projects a modest improvement next year for luxury goods following a “difficult” 2025. “High prices remain a significant hurdle for aspirational customers,” according to McKinsey, which noted that many would-be luxury shoppers are focusing on personal wellness and health instead.

Superdry has promoted Nic Shaw to chief financial officer and she becomes a member of the fashion retailer’s Executive Committee leadership team with immediate effect.
Shaw has been part of Superdry since February 2023, most recently serving as commercial finance director, building on her 25 years+ finance experience across leading UK retailers including senior finance roles at George at Asda, Sainsbury’s, and Tesco.
During her time with the business, Superdry said she has played a pivotal role in delivering its Restructuring Plan, the first year of the business’s turnaround, and two intellectual property sales.
Now as CFO, she will lead the finance function to support the next phase of Superdry’s transformation – “driving disciplined execution, partnering closely with the brand and commercial teams, and building long-term value”.
Founder and chief executive Julian Dunkerton said: “Our executive leadership team is performing strongly, and Nic is the final piece in the puzzle. She combines deep retail expertise with commercial clarity and a hands-on approach to delivery. Coming off the back of our FY25 results and return to profitability, Nic’s leadership will bring real stability to our finance function as we continue to build on this momentum and execute our ambitious growth plans.”
Shaw added: “The progress we’ve made over the last two years has been both inspiring and rewarding. I couldn’t have succeeded in my previous role without the support of our expert finance team, and I’m proud to lead them into the next chapter of the turnaround. Partnering with the business, we have a great opportunity to support the brand’s evolution, strengthen performance, and build a platform for sustainable growth.”
