Villa Moda is a Kuwaiti luxury department store, featuring fashion and clothing items from top designers. Villa Moda was founded by Sheikh Majed Al-Sabah, the 35-year-old nephew of Kuwait's Amir.

Villa Moda's new premises is a 100,000 square-foot (9,300 square meter) glass-cube emporium, overlooking the Persian Gulf. Designed by Italian architect Pierfrancesco Cravel, with interiors by the British design firm Eldridge Smerin, the building is a glass box divided internally into fashion "aquariums." There are ten stand-alone brand-specific areas including those for Gucci, Fendi, and Ferragamo, along with Vertu, the luxury communications company, and two multi-brand shops.

History

Villa Moda first opened in Kuwait in 1992, located on Gulf Street, Dasman and overlooked the Kuwait Towers. The premises covered an area of 1,300 square meters and was constructed in an austere style of architecture, mostly of glass, with a large staircase and shops forming part of its structure.

After nine years of success in the fashion business, Al-Sabah made plans for expansion in 1998 with a bigger Villa Moda concept in mind. Villa Moda Shuwaikh was opened its doors on April 21, 2002.

Today

Eleven different brand shops form part of Villa Moda's structure, which include names such as Gucci, Yves Saint-Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Prada, Prada Sport, MIU MIU, Marni (clothing), Etro, Salvatore Ferragamo, Dolce & Gabbana, and Goyard.

California brand lines are also present. These include AG Jeans, Antik Denim, Citizens of Humanity, Chip and Pepper, Diesel, Dorinha Jeans Wear, Energie, Evisu, G-Star, Goldsign, Hudson, J Brand, J & Company, James Jeans, Joe's Jeans, Ksubi, Lucky Brand Jeans, Mavi Jeans, Nudie Jeans, Paige Premium Denim, Paper Denim & Cloth, People For Peace, Replay, Rock and Republic, Seven for All Mankind, Taverniti So Jeans and True Religion.
