Marius Møller, the CEO of Group88, says Valentino is the first major luxury brand to open a store in Oslo that they currently do not carry in Copenhagen. This is the first signal that Oslo is on the path to becoming a major fashion capital. We could not be more excited, and hope you are too!

"We've long had a wish to open a shop with just Valentino and it's a project we've been working on with Valentino for many years," says Marius Møller, CEO Group 88

"With fashion houses like Louis Vuitton, Bottega Veneta, Hermès, Gucci and Saint Laurent having flagship stores already established in Nedre Slottsgate, are proof that Oslo is becoming a world-class fashion capital, and probably also the reason why Valentino chooses Oslo for their next location," says Fredrik Kumlin, CEO Promenaden Management.

"With the Fashion District Promenaden we've developed a unique destination within Oslo. We want people to refer to Promenaden when they talk about the area as a place to shop, eat or get inspired," says Vibeke Bratsberg, Marketing Manager Promenaden Fashion District.
