After 25 years in the business and 39 high street stores scattered across the UK, (including Glasgow, Manchester, Sheffield and Birmingham), Scotts have decided to move forward and take their extensive experience of life-style fashion, footwear and accessories onto the web. A contemporary and interactive site is evolving, show-casing a long list of designer and branded clothing for men, women and kids.
And the list is impressive – Paul Smith, Henry Lloyd, Lacoste, Duck and Cover, Nike, Addidas, Original Penguin, Supreme Being - just a few from 40+ names to browse at your leisure – and keep going back because new and innovative labels such as Junk de Luxe are being added to the collections each season. A little touch we enjoyed on the site is the background and biographies of the designers and brands – did you know that Paul Smith went into fashion design after a cycling accident? Or that Firetrap aim to ‘combine old-fashioned Victoriana with Post-modern punk?‘ No? Well you will – this is good reading for the fashion conscious.
The site is still growing and developing and asking for your input. It is already up and running for any bloke who wants to shop for his entire casual wardrobe from home – but if you want to see more for women and kids, let them know, they want your feed back. Also, register with them online, and they will send you all the latest news and updates. They seem quite an accomodating bunch don’t they? So, if you fancy a career in fashion and retail, keep looking as they will be posting job vacancies on the site too.
And finally, if you consider yourself to be a bit gorgeous, then follow this link as quickly as you can. Scotts are hosting a competition to find 3 boy and 3 girl models to be the face of Henleys 2oo8 Spring/Summer collection. But be quick the finalists will be contacted in January!
Oh and by the way – the sale is on right now!!

Gap say these ones can. Gap(Product)Red launched its first iconic t-shirt in Spring 2006 – made in Africa from a hundred per cent African cotton with half the profits going towards helping women and children with HIV and AIDS.
“This is not charity its a new way of doing business.” Visit the Gap Red site to find out about progress made since last year.
Meanwhile a new collection of tees, clothing, undies and accessories, for women, men and kids has been launched in the Gap(product)Red range, with exclusive designs by among others, Mulberry and Calvin Klein. The collection is available at selected Gap Stores and on-line. Visit the product site to see the whole range and t-shirts being modelled by Anne Hathaway and Wycleff Jean.
Early in December models Elle McPherson and Agyness Deyn were among celebrity guests who attended a party at East End restaurant Bistrotheque to celebrate the launch of the line. Follow this link to see more photos.

Keep it simple, sexy and snuggly on New Years Eve, with these three pieces from TopShop (Necklace Accessorize). Cover up in Black Satin and forget about any excess christmas cheer – everyone will be looking at your lovely shoulders in this corset top anyway. Snuggle it all together in this cosy coat – (think Doris Day when she arrives at the ball in Calamity Jane) which will be wonderful with jeans and boots through January.

We are guilty of catering very little to our male audience at the fashion guide, so especially for you, we would like to point you in the direction of the new Nylon site for men – as many gadgets, watches, sneakers as you can handle.
