Parisian sparkle, runway glamour and a spirited October at Hyde Park Corner
From the arrival of French fine jewellery house RedLine Paris to South African Fashion Week, festive shopping, there’s plenty happening at Hyde Park Corner this October.
October is shaping up to be a stylish month at Hyde Park Corner. French fine jewellery has arrived in Johannesburg, South African Fashion Week is preparing to take over the runway, Christmas shopping is already on the agenda.
Add a newly refurbished store and longer Sunday shopping hours plus a new rooftop parkade to the mix, and there's plenty to fill the diary… and Christmas stockings too.
“October is always an exciting time at Hyde Park Corner as we head towards the festive season,” says General Manager of Hyde Park Corner. “We’re delighted to welcome the first RedLine Paris boutique on the African continent to the centre, particularly as it brings such a distinctive jewellery offering to Johannesburg. With South African Fashion Week returning, some fantastic events on the calendar and new reasons to explore our stores, we’re looking forward to a busy few weeks.”
A diamond, a thread and a touch of Paris
There’s a new name in fine jewellery at Hyde Park Corner, and it comes with an intriguing story. RedLine Paris has opened its first boutique in Africa, bringing the French jewellery house’s signature diamond-on-a-thread creations to Johannesburg.
Founded in Paris in 2004, RedLine pairs precious diamonds and 18-carat gold with a delicate thread, drawing inspiration from the red thread’s symbolism in cultures around the world. Associated with love, protection, luck and connection, the thread gives each piece a meaning that goes well beyond its sparkle.
The brand has attracted an international following, with Sarah Jessica Parker, Beyoncé and Victoria Beckham among the famous names who have worn its jewellery.
Designed to resemble an elegant Parisian apartment, the new boutique houses a collection of bracelets, necklaces, rings and earrings, with pieces that can be worn individually or layered to create a personal look.
Find RedLine Paris at Shop UM59, Hyde Park Corner.
Christmas has moved upstairs
If you’re one of those organised people who starts thinking about Christmas long before December, you’ll be pleased to hear that Nicholas & Co has a new home on the Upper Mall.
The popular Christmas emporium has brought its collection of festive decorations, décor and seasonal treasures along for the move. From beautiful tree ornaments to those finishing touches that make a Christmas table memorable, it’s worth a visit before the festive rush begins.
A fresh look for Socrati
Socrati has reopened following its refurbishment, welcoming shoppers into a refreshed store with the latest collections ready to explore.
With the warmer months ahead, it’s a good excuse to browse the new-season arrivals and add a few new pieces to your Summer shoe line-up.
Five days of fashion | 21 to 25 October
Fashion lovers, clear your diaries. South African Fashion Week returns to The Forum at Hyde Park Corner from 21 to 25 October, showcasing the Autumn/Winter ‘27 Collections.
Now in its 29th year, the event brings together established South African designers and emerging talent, with collections spanning couture, tailoring, menswear, streetwear, heritage, craft and contemporary African design.
There’s also an intriguing French connection this year, with a newly announced collaboration with the legendary Pierre Cardin fashion house.
Whether you’re following the designers, looking for new names to watch or simply love a good runway show, it’s one of the highlights of Johannesburg’s fashion calendar.
Sundays just got longer and parking just got easier
There’s good news for anyone who enjoys taking their time over a Sunday shopping trip. Hyde Park Corner has extended its Sunday trading hours to 17h00, giving shoppers two additional hours to browse, meet friends for lunch or enjoy a coffee after a little retail therapy. Hyde Park Corner has also opened its new Level 2 rooftop parkade, offering additional covered parking, spacious VIP bays and more accessible parking bays, making visits to the centre even more convenient.
With new arrivals to discover, Christmas shopping to get started on and a busy events calendar, there’s every reason to make a date with Hyde Park Corner this October.
