Ex-Jaeger owner prepares for court battle

The news comes six years after he lost the businesses in a rapid succession of events. Tillman, a leading figure in the UK retail industry and former British Fashion Council chairman, claims the bank sold the debt in Jaeger to Better Capital while he was on holiday and without warning, without offering him a chance to finance the debt himself.Lloyds sold Jaeger’s £16 million debt in the spring of 2012คำพูดจาก สล็อตเว็บตรง.

Subsequently, Jaeger’s new owners called in debts owed by Aquascutum, which was also owned by Tillman, p…

China outbound travel may take another year to fully recover

Chinese cross-border travel, defined as people coming and going, could get back to pre-pandemic levels by the end of 2024 and then steadily grow from there, the industry body’s Chief Executive Office, Julia Simpson, said. Another factor limiting the speed of the nation’s cross-border travel recovery is heightened fuel costs for foreign carriers not able to fly across Russian airspace, which can translate into higher fares, she said.For people in China wanting visas, the process “has been slow and it’s because some of the embassies in China haven’t staffed back up to the levels to meet that sudden exploding demand,” Simpson said in an interview in Hong Kong on Tuesday.

On the flipside, for foreign visitors wanting to get a visa to China, “what we would say to the Chin…

Six years after Bangladesh’s Rana Plaza disaster, fashion brands urged to pay more

The collapse of the factory on the outskirts of the capital, Dhaka, in April 2013 killed more than 1,100 workers, placing scrutiny on major brands and sparking demands for better safety in the world’s second-largest exporter of readymade garments.Yet fashion companies constantly pressure Bangladeshi garment suppliers to keep prices low and make clothing faster, a new report by Human Rights Watch (HRW) said, resulting in cost-cutting on safety and wages, and the mistreatment of workers.

Two agreements after the Rana Plaza disaster saw retailers involved in initiatives to improve conditions in factories: the Bangladesh Accord on fire and building safety – signed by about 200 major brands and unions – and an alliance on worker safety.But many of Bangladesh’s factory owners said t…

Tourist tax-free spend in UK edges up in December, but 2018 stayed negative

Tax-free payments specialist Planet said ATV was up as much as 10% year-on-year last month, although total tax-free sales to international shoppers rose by only 1%. Despite December’s 1% tax-free sales rise being unimpressive in ‘normal’ circumstances, we don’t live in normal times and it was easily ahead of the flat UK retail sales that the British Retail Consortium recorded for the festive period. 

But the much lower sales rise compared to accelerating ATVs suggests lower visitor numbers overall and added weight to tax-free industry calls for the UK government to work harder to attract tourists and to make it easier for them to spend tax-free while in the countryคำพูดจาก สล…

Pascale Cayla (Art en Direct)- -Contemporary art is one of the codes of luxury-

 FashionNetwork : When did art and fashion start working together? Pascale Cayla: In the 1980s and 90s, luxury brands carried a rather traditional and institutional image. Then, in 2001, there was a deflagration. For one of its most memorable runway shows, Louis Vuitton invited American artist Stephen Sprouse to collaborate on a collection of bags, which saw bags customised with fluorescent-coloured tags, shaking up everything sacred about the brand: the bag, the leather and the logo. With this stunt, Louis Vuitton woke up to the times.

FNW : What do you mean by that?PC : In terms of image, contemporary art allows us to understand our times, cause it speaks of creativity, innovation, impertinence and disruption. Everything a business needs…
