EL PASO, TEXAS (KFOX14\/CBS4) \u2014 Union Fashion reopened on Tuesday at the Shoppes at Solana, 10 years after it closed its doors in 2015. <\/p>\n
The designer clothing store reopened its doors on Tuesday, located inside the lower level of the Shoppes at Solana, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and live musical entertainment by vocalist Jessica Saks. <\/p>\n
According to Union Fashion, the store reopened with curated luxury collections from Burberry, Versace, Canali, and Etro. <\/p>\n
The reopening comes after the company announced in 2015 that the designer clothing store would be permanently closing. <\/p>\n
Company President Enoch Kimmelman previously said they had decided to focus their attention on their western apparel store, Starr Western Wear.<\/p>\n
“Closing Union Fashion will allow us to redirect all of our creativity and resources into Starr again,” Kimmelman previously said. <\/p>\n
Union Fashion was established in 1892 in downtown El Paso as an upscale menswear store.<\/p>\n
The store played a part in the city’s history as the destination store for U.S. and Mexican presidents when they visited El Paso.<\/p>\n
Black Jack Pershing was said to have shopped there, as well as Pancho Villa.<\/p>\n
The store eventually added women’s and children’s departments and moved to its previous location on 8701 Gateway West in 2007. <\/p>\n
“Union Fashion has such a rich history and is so much part of this region. We’ve been very privileged and honored to have been associated with such a prestigious store,” Kimmelman previously said.<\/p>\n
