Abercrombie & Fitch (New Albany, Ohio) announced today that it will open a new flagship at Kobmagergade 11, Copenhagen, Denmark in 2009. The location will be the company's second flagship in Europe, following its debut in London last year.

The fashion brand is also in the process of securing locations in Italy, France, Germany, Spain and Sweden. Abercrombie’s first flagship in Asia, centrally located in Tokyo's Ginza district, is expected to open in 2009.

As part of its European expansion plans, the brand searches for properties possessing architectural integrity, emphasizing the company's respect for excellent design as one of its key brand characteristics.

In Copenhagen, the flagship will occupy a 16,000-square-foot building designed in the old neoclassical style typically found in Danish architecture when constructed in 1910. The store interior will be designed by Selldorf Architects and its principal Annabelle Selldorf.
