Selfridges

Farrell, the fashion label by Robbie Williams, has been grabbed up by Selfridges the British luxury department store that stated they like the ‘heritage look’ of the new collection. The high end retailer will be the first store to put clothes from the former Take That lead singer on display, but it is likely that now they have committed to the range other high end stores will follow suit.

Robbie named his clothing line after his grandfather who is named Jack Farrell, and is said to be the inspiration for some of the clothes that Selfridges is describing as ‘heritage.’ Contemporary buyer for Selfridges, Reece Crisp, stated that Farrell has a clear brand image that comes across very well in all of the clothing designs.

He explained that the inclusion of tailored and casual items helps to turn the brand into a lifestyle choice and as the department store’s menswear business continues to grow they are always on the lookout for new collections.

Selfridges hopes that the new clothing line from Robbie that includes everything from jumpers to cardigans to jackets and more will achieve the same level of success that the UK Barbour brand has been able to do.

Reece added that labels from Britain are doing very well this year with Barbour being a prime example of how people are turning back to their UK roots while shopping for clothes. He went on to say that they are now pleased to add Farrell to their line of British offerings and are hoping to see it take off among their consumers in the same fashion.

Madonna’s new shoe offering has become known as the best celebrity endorsement ever, so the pop-up must be making an impact on customers. Her Truth or Dare collection has only been out for about a week, but already Selfridges claims that some of the styles are already sold out. Among the collection is a set of monochrome shoes that feature a pointy ankle boot cut and some great metallic detailing.

Helen Attwood, the shoe buying manager for the company stated that it has been very exciting to watch the positive customer response to the campaign and as of yet the Truth or Dare collection is one of the most successful footwear pop-ups of the year. This is not the first pop-up collection by Madonna as she has also worked with United Nude, Aldo, and even Marc. Selfridges plans to restock the collection soon to continue to meet the high customer demand.

Selfridges Logo Selfridges new shoe galleries   Opening 16 SeptemberThe Shoe Galleries at Selfridges is due to be the single biggest shoe destination in the world, with 55,000 pairs of shoes in stock at any one time and 4,000 pairs on display.

Selfridges’ Director of Accessories Sebastian Manes describes what The Shoe Galleries will look like when complete.  “Imagine you are in a gallery.  From the entrance you see a succession of doorways, and at the end a huge window flooding the space with daylight. Your journey begins at the front, with shoes from the best of the high street. Slowly you begin to travel through different galleries until you reach the end – the couture designer gallery, flanked by Chanel and Louboutin, and a vision of Eden – the new suspended garden at Selfridges. Shoe heaven!”
