The event will celebrate Frasers Group Luxury, a new division of the business comprising Flannels, The Webster, and recently acquired British department store Harvey Nichols. The portfolio also includes Boss, which Frasers is hoping to acquire: the group just upped its stake to 47.89% in August, and Murray was recently made chairman of the board. It’s the first time Frasers has held a luxury event during Paris Fashion Week, but as the group continues with brand acquisitions, Murray is keen to underline its elevated positioning. The 500-strong guestlist, he says, will include leading luxury CEOs who partner with Frasers across its retail portfolio, franchisees and partners from across Europe, and industry insiders in town for Paris Fashion Week.
