Too many high-end designer brands are getting it oh-so-wrong when it comes to their e-commerce sites says a new report. And you might be surprised who are the sector stars and who are failing to maximise opportunities online.
We’ve got used to online sales rising faster than physical store sales. But we’ve also got used to the fact that the volume of goods bought through those physical stores is so many times larger than digital shopping that the channel is still way out in front in terms of market share.

Animal print lovers like myself should be looking forward to pre-fall 2016 as there’s a strong big cat print and texture trend coming through that’s being seen on coats, skirts, bags and shoes.
One day Russia, next day – the world. Well, Australia, at least. But it’s clear from recent news that Debenhams’ ambitions are pretty global. No sooner has it signed to buy Stockmann’s Russian stores than it’s gearing up for a big push into Australia. The retailer signed a deal with Pepkor’s Harris Scarfe chain and…

The pre-fall collections moved into a higher gear today as Gucci released Alessandro Michele’s latest collection… and it’s a real ‘collection’. 78 looks, rather than the 20 or so many labels send out for pre-season. It continues the exuberant retro-boho-luxe-dressing up looks that Michele obviously loves (you can never accuse him of being a minimalist)…
Fashion, handbags, accessories, wearable tech and the website were all standout performers at John Lewis in the latest week, which is good news.
