David Beckham meets fans to celebrate H&M’s debut in Macau
On June 13th, H & M, Hennes & Mauritz AB (H&M), together with global sporting and style icon, David Beckham, inaugurated H&M’s first store in Macau at The Venetian Macao’s shopping mall – Shoppes at Venetian. Hundreds of highly anticipated shoppers and football fans swirled around the 19,000 square feet shopping area to wait for the whirlwind arrival of their idol. The two story high retail space is a reservation of fashion and quality at the best price in a sustainable way slated to the taste makers in Macau.
The back-to-back celebration began early in the morning, with DJ Miles’ spin-off breaking the reticence with the customers in line, followed by a gift card award presentation to the first 3 queuing customers. The doors officially opened to the fashion savvy customers with a ribbon cutting ceremony by Magnus Olsson, H&M Country Manager of Greater China, Anna Rathsmann, H&M Regional Sales Manager of Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau, and Poki Wong, H&M Store Manager at Shoppes at Venetian. In the afternoon with DJ Eye on deck, the vibe scaled new heights as David Beckham’s arrival gathered the rapt attention of the crowd. Surrounded by a bevy of excited fans, energy ramped up high as he entered the H&M store to autograph for 50 lucky fans who have won a competition via H&M’s Facebook and in-store activity.
"I’m very happy to be able to spend time with my fans at H&M’s grand opening at Shoppes at Venetian. It is fantastic to be a part of this celebration, and I am happy to see that my extended collaboration with H&M, the Modern Essentials collection, is being sold at H&M’s first store opening in Macau. Each piece from the collection is a take on a new wardrobe classic that we envision updating every man’s spring wardrobe; it is exciting to see the positive response from my fans towards this collection so far,” says David Beckham.
“We are thrilled to celebrate our debut in Macau with David Beckham! Seeing the enthusiasm from our customers today, we just know that our store at Shoppes at Venetian will be the new glistening shopping destination for locals and visitors of Macau,” says Magnus Olsson, Country Manager of Greater China at H&M.
