American Stores Go Bananas for UK Despite the Gloom
Banana Republic is leading a new fashion invasion from the States, in defiance of economic forecasts
A new crop of US retail chains is vying to convert the special relationship between British consumers and American brands into cash by launching themselves into the UK market. The fashion press is in a frenzy, but retail experts are dubious that this latest American invasion will end happily, given the gloomy outlook for retail spending.
Just 13 days into the new year and already the City has seen calamitously poor Christmas trading updates from Marks & Spencer, Next and Dixons. Shoe retailers such as Dolcis and Stead & Simpson are battling administration and Sir Stuart Rose, M&S's chief executive, has warned that trading will remain tough until well into 2009.
Nevertheless, Banana Republic, Gap's younger, chic-er sister, is one of a clutch of retailers to have earmarked London as the first outpost of their expansion into Europe.
Intermix, a New York-based boutique chain, Theory, a designer clothing brand, and Anthropologie, an older version of Urban Outfitters, are all scouring London for potential sites. They follow on the heels of Abercrombie & Fitch, the brand beloved by US college students, which opened last Easter. A&F is also seeking sites for its younger-focused Hollister chain.
Steve Sunnucks, the president of Gap Europe, said customers had been clamouring for the group to launch Banana Republic in Britain for years. "The timing of the opening was led by the considerable interest and awareness of the brand in the UK, combined with a great location on London's Regent Street becoming available."
The chain, selling preppy, upmarket office wear, and brand watches,luxury watches,fashion apparel,brand shoes etc, will open a three-storey outlet in late March in part of the old Dickins and Jones building, also occupied by Armani Exchange.
Despite the hype building up ahead of Banana Republic's arrival - fashion magazines have tipped its opening as the event of the spring - some retail experts are sceptical about its prospects. Although the chain is the best-performing of Gap's stable of brands, which includes Old Navy, it had a poor Christmas, missing its targets with a 1 per cent drop in underlying store sales in December compared with the previous year.
It also had a rollercoaster 2007. Its underlying sales, a key measure that strips out the boost from any new space opened, either failed to grow or fell for five months of the 12. In addition, although Banana Republic is popular with Britons flexing their credit cards in America - giving it unusually strong brand recognition in the UK for a company with no European outlets - that could change when shoppers discover how much the company intends to charge for its clothes this side of the Atlantic.
A spokeswoman said its ranges would be priced "higher" than in the US, reflecting its desire to be regarded as a premium brand alongside competitors such as Reiss and Jigsaw. It will also have to claw back the higher cost of doing business in the UK. Dresses are likely to cost upwards of 100, at least double their Gap equivalents.
Richard Hyman, who runs Verdict Consulting, a retail consultancy, said: "It will certainly struggle to persuade people of its value credentials. I think it will be very difficult for them."
Even analysts backing Banana Republic to succeed, including Bryan Roberts, of Planet Retail, believe it could find this year tough going. "If you had to pick a time to enter the UK clothing sector it probably wouldn't be 2008," he said.

Easter Island $9.99 In this extraordinary fiction debut--rich with love and betrayal, history and intellectual passion--two remarkable narratives converge on Easter Island, one of the most remote places in the world. It is 1913. Elsa Pendleton travels from England to Easter Island with her husband, an anthropologist sent by the Royal Geographical Society to study the colossal moai statues, and her younger sister. What begins as familial duty for Elsa becomes a grand adventure; on Easter Island she discovers her true calling. But, out of contact with the outside world, she is unaware that World War I has been declared and that a German naval squadron, fleeing the British across the South Pacific, is heading toward the island she now considers home. Sixty years later, Dr. Greer Farraday, an American botanist, travels to Easter Island to research the island’s ancient pollen, but more important, to put back the pieces of her life after the death of her husband. A series of brilliant revelations brings to life the parallel quests of these two intrepid young women as they delve into the centuries-old mysteries of Easter Island. Slowly unearthing the island’s haunting past, they are forced to confront turbulent discoveries about themselves and the people they love, changing their lives forever. Easter Island is a tour de force of storytelling that will establish Jennifer Vanderbes as one of the most gifted writers of her generation. From the Hardcover edition. |

Easter Everywhere: A Memoir $4.99 The daughter of a minister and a former beauty queen, Darcey Steinke recalls accompanying her father on sick calls, stopping by the scene of accidents, and holding her own pretend wedding and funeral services. Her father's first church was built from a "church kit" and most of the parishioners worked at the local carnival. As a child, religion soaked all her activities. In Easter Everywhere, Steinke tracks her complex and changing ideas about God and how these ideas were impacted by her mother's nervous breakdown and her father's struggle with his parish before Steinke turned her back on religion, filling the void with club hopping and romantic obsessions. The second half of the memoir details how Steinke, after marriage, becoming a mother and then getting divorced, was able to finally accept her essential ignorance and begin, with the help of a remarkable Episcopal nun, Sister Leslie, the slow process toward a living faith. Easter Everywhere is a rare literary accomplishment, a beautifully crafted, riveting personal story with a huge emotional impact. |

Sister Carmen $20.62 Purchase one of 1st World Librarys Classic Books and help support our free internet library of downloadable eBooks. Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG The first rays of early dawn threw their shadowy light over hill and dale, and all nature seemed animated with new life as the fresh spring breeze kissed the young blades of grain in the fields. Ever brighter and more glowing grew the eastern horizon, ever more golden the light, floating clouds, until at last the dazzling rays of the king of day flashed forth upon the expectant world. With its clear carol of joy, a lark soared upward from her dewy nest, singing her morning anthem to the great Creator; and, as if in glad sympathy with the happy bird, the many and varied voices of nature united in celebrating the resurrection, not only of the sun, but of all things, for it was Easter Sunday morning. Forth from the dwellings of a small Moravian village issued a band of simply attired folk, who wended their way through the green fields and up the hillside to a spacious wood, where was located a quiet graveyard, in which gigantic lindentrees stretched out their leafless branches, forming a graceful network overhead. Author: Corvus, M./ 1st World Library Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 120 Publication Date: 2005/09/01 Language: English Dimensions: 8.50 x 5.50 x 0.28 inches |
