Mens ready-to-wear has been a key focus in London this season and Harvey Nichols - renowned for its directional menswear offer - is to feature five exclusive designers in its international menswear floor. The labels confirmed are Dsquared, John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Dries van Noten and Paul Smith.

The department store has dedicated 70% of its 5,000sq ft international menswear floor to new look areas for the chosen labels, opening this month. The basement floor carries brands such as J Lindeberg and Cloak. Each of the five designer areas are approximately 700 sq ft and will carry most of each designer's collection, enhanced by exclusive catwalk pieces.
