Selfridges has taken a risk at angering its female market by dropping its plus sized fashion line. As of now the popular retailer will no longer offer the Marina Rinaldi line, which is designed for women sizes 14 to 26. Now, the largest size available out of the other lines in the store is a 16 with a select few 18s still on the shelves. The new decision makes Selfridges appear to believe that plus sized women are not good for their image. According to the store, the Rinaldi line was removed in order to make room for more trendy slimmer lines of clothing.

The sportswear to streetwear designer brand Fred Perry has evolved over time whilst maintaining its original styling and has fitted well into the British youth subculture. Originally designed for sports wear on the tennis pitch by the notable tennis play Frederick Perry and Australian footballer Tibby Wegner, the brand became quickly popular after featuring during Wimbledon in 1952. After then it was adopted by the Mods in 1959 because “They could wear it all night and still look good in the morning” and more colours were then added because of demand. Following the Mods it featured in most of the British youth subculture since like Suedeheads, Ska/Two Tone, Punk, New Wave, Casuals/Perry Boys, Britpop and Electronic/Rave. The original Fred Perry polo shirt was made from white knitted cotton pique and had short sleeves and buttons down the front and featured Read More ...
