#CarveCouture: Luxury Meets Soul: Hydraulics In The Park Opens at Hyde Park Corner

A fresh wave of high-fashion energy has arrived at Hyde Park Corner with the opening of Hydraulics in the Park. More than just a store, this space is a curated experience, blending high-end international labels with an exclusive in-house fashion line designed for those who live and breathe style.

Hydraulics has spent over three decades shaping South Africa’s fashion scene, introducing rare and sought-after brands to those who appreciate artistry in every stitch. This latest venture brings a more personal touch, offering a unique fusion of global influences and homegrown creativity to an audience that values distinction.

A Collection Like No Other

Stocking a coveted lineup of global fashion powerhouses including Moschino, Dsquared2, C.P Company, Karl Lagerfeld, Represent and ICEBERG; Hydraulics in the Park is where runway dreams meet retail reality. These brands, known for their bold aesthetics and impeccable craftsmanship, are now within reach for South Africa’s discerning fashion lovers. Adding an extra layer of exclusivity is Hydraulics’ own design label, a collection that speaks to the soul of the brand and its commitment to authenticity.

Dylan Bolus, Director of Hydraulics, sheds light on the inspiration behind the store: “We wanted to create a space that offers something rare, something that resonates beyond fashion trends. Hydraulics in the Park is so much more than luxury labels, this new store is a showcase for the culture of fashion, the people who wear it, and the stories it tells. Hyde Park Corner was the perfect setting to bring this vision to life.”

Every element of the store, from its sleek design to the tailored shopping experience, reflects an understanding of what true fashion lovers see exclusivity, personality, and an effortless connection between style and identity.

Why Hyde Park Corner?

Hyde Park Corner has long been the heartbeat of luxury shopping in Johannesburg, drawing a clientele that values quality, heritage, and individuality. For Hydraulics in the Park, the choice was clear: to be part of an environment where fashion is more than clothing, it’s a way of life that is made for you.

“Our customers aren’t just looking for designer names; they want something that speaks to who they are,” Bolus continues. “They want rare pieces, exceptional craftsmanship, and a deeper connection to their wardrobe. Hyde Park Corner is the perfect home for that.”

Hyde Park Corner’s Marketing spokesperson, Sheree McHaffie, shared his excitement about the mall’s new addition: “Hyde Park Corner has always been a destination for those who appreciate the finer things in life, and Hydraulics in the Park fits seamlessly into that vision. This store brings a fresh perspective to luxury fashion, offering our shoppers access to an exclusive selection of international brands alongside a uniquely personal collection. We’re proud to welcome Hydraulics to our fashion family.”

A Legacy of Pushing Boundaries
