It is exciting to see that buzz returning to the street,\" he said.<\/p>\n<p>Kent &amp; Curwen was founded as a neckwear brand by\u00a0Eric Kent and Dorothy Curwen in 1926 after the pair had met on Savile Row. It went on to dress some of the world's most famous men from movie stars such as Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine to the Rolling Stones.\u00a0In 2015 former footballer and style icon <strong>David Beckham invested in the business<\/strong> and today it is run in partnership with Kearns and Beckham.<\/p>\n<p>The lease on the store at 12 Floral Street was agreed with\u00a0Capital &amp; Counties Properties (or Capco), which has been repositioning the street as a fashion and lifestyle destination. \"We are delighted that British heritage brand, Kent &amp; Curwen, has chosen Covent Garden\u2019s Floral Street as the location for their unique flagship store. The signing<strong> evidences the strategic vision for our estate<\/strong>, focusing on best in class retail and enhanced customer experiences through the curated approach to Covent Garden as a retail destination,\" said Capco Covent Garden director Michelle McGrath.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":130449,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,10494],"tags":[11602,11262,11955,10061,11954,9861,35],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kent &amp;
