John Lewis to add 100 fashion brands in challenge to Next and M&S
John Lewis is launching a fresh luxury fashion drive by adding 100 designer clothing brands to stores in a challenge to rivals Next and Marks & Spencer. The retailer is preparing to add dozens of new menswear and womenswear clothing ranges from premium British fashion names and buzzy up-and-coming brands as it targets stronger fashion sales amid a turnaround drive. New lines being released in the autumn will include an exclusive collection from luxury handbag maker Mulberry, featuring 25 options across bags and accessories, as well as high-end brands like Akyn, By Malene Birger and Iro. New camping wear from Japan's Snowpeak and parkas from famed Newcastle-based designer Nigel Cabourn are also on the cards. John Lewis currently stocks 350 different clothing brands, according to its website. It comes amid a major push to boost sales at John Lewis, as bosses seek to stage a turnaround of the department stores. The drive also includes refurbishing tired stores and recruiting more shop floor staff. Around £800m is being funnelled into the John Lewis brand while the partnership is also spending on refreshing its Waitrose stores. Turnaround efforts at John Lewis are being overseen by Peter Ruis, who was hired last year to head up the department stores. He brings more than 30 years of experience across fashion brands including Jigsaw and Anthropologie. Mr Ruis said his strategy would be about giving customers 'even more reasons to shop in our brilliant stores'. 'Sky is the limit' The renewed focus on fashion will be seen as a major challenge to rival high street stalwarts Next and M&S, which for years have been boosting their ranges. Figures from Global Data suggest Next has grown its share of the clothing and footwear market from 5.1pc to 6pc between 2019 and 2024, while Marks & Spencer has gone from a 4.6pc to a 4.9pc share. Meanwhile, John Lewis's market share has remained flat over the same period at 1.5pc. Mr Ruis recently suggested the 'sky is the limit' on how much growth John Lewis could see in fashion, saying the clothing department could more than double revenue from £1.2bn per year to £2.5bn. Alongside the new high street ranges, John Lewis is also bolstering its own-label clothing lines, with the retailer set to launch its biggest ever cashmere collection this autumn. It is expecting this to drive sales of cashmere up by at least a fifth this year. Rachel Morgans, director of fashion for John Lewis, said the team was 'carefully curating a premium quality range that offers customers something different' to try to convince shoppers to come into its stores over rival retailers. She said: 'When it comes to brands, we're not chasing numbers, but focusing on those that appeal to our customers and offer something new.' Louise Deglise-Favre, from Global Data, said John Lewis was likely to win more shoppers over this year as it boosts its 'fashion credentials'. She said the retailer will have also benefited from customers having been unable to buy online at Marks & Spencer in recent months after its rival was hit by a devastating cyber attack which took its systems offline. M&S only brought back its online orders in June, six weeks after the cyber attack. It resumed click-and-collect last week. Ms Deglise-Favre said: 'M&S's inability to trade for many weeks and its ongoing operational struggles following the hack has created an opportunity for John Lewis to capture some of this lost spending thanks to its similar positioning.'

Birthday celebration planned at Mall of America as the attraction turns 33
The Mall of America in Bloomington- one of the most famous places in Minnesota - is getting ready for a big celebration this week, as the iconic landmark celebrates its 33rd year - and continues to grow. Many remember the area used to be home to Metropolitan Stadium. "Home to the Minnesota Twins, the Minnesota Vikings, the Minnesota Kicks, our soccer team, and in our parking lot was the North Stars. And in fact, right here is home plate where all the Minnesota Twins greats played baseball," said Dan Jasper, the official storyteller for Mall of America. Although the stadium is gone, the mall was careful to keep and honor the sports history as it was built. The chair Harmon Killebrew hit with his 520-foot home run, as well as the coin marking the 50-yard line where a new play was born in 1975, can both be found if you look closely. "Roger Starbuck, the quarterback for the Cowboys, took a hike from this place. He took a hike. He fell back. The Purple People Eaters, they're rushing him. Roger throws the pass with his eyes closed. Drew Peason shoves off, should've been a penalty - all I'm saying. After the game, media ask Roger 'How did you make that incredible throw' and he said, 'I closed my eyes and I said a Hail Mary.' First time in NFL history, right on this spot," said Jasper. Since then, even as a mall, magic moments have been made. Among the 33 million annual visitors checking out the 500 stores, some famous faces have swung by - from Ozzy to Arnold and everyone in between. And even more special memories are likely to be made as it continues to grow. "We're going to be adding a large enclosed waterpark connected to the mall with our own theming, and all these wonderful water attractions. So much fun. Including a third hotel, including more parking and then we have goals and dreams beyond that," said Cupcakes and karaoke will be at the Huntington Bank Rotunda starting at 1 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 11 to celebrate the mall's birthday.
