Naked Wardrobe launched in 2012 and became known for its sleek, form-fitting, and stretchy bodysuits, leggings and dresses, as seen on celebrities such as Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Sophie Turner, Lori Harvey, Kylie Jenner, Jennifer Lopez, and Kim, Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian.
In 2024, the LA-based brand relaunched with a new visual brand identity and product strategy, pivoting towards more elevated styles, shifting away from a fast-fashion approach of releasing weekly new arrivals to creating 'true collections'. This new elevated, evolved aesthetic focuses around its 'Sculpted Streetwear' collections, utilising innovative fabrics and advanced technologies for high-impact sculpting and maximum compression without sacrificing comfort.

How Kevlar could save Scotland's crumbling concete homes
The ReGrid system, which has been developed by Windsor-based firm Structural Repairs, is a lightweight reinforcing mesh which consists of 'high-strength' carbon fibres interwoven with Kevlar threads. It can be directly applied to surfaces affected by reinforced aerated autoclaved concrete (RAAC), the brittle building material linked to several collapses in recent years. RAAC campaigner Wilson Chowdhry. According to the company, installation would take around two days for a standard RAAC-affected home, and would not require residents to be relocated. It has already been used to repair RAAC-affected properties owned by National Rail. Chowdhry told The Herald: 'We urge the Scottish Government and the UK Government to commission an urgent feasibility study into this product, and for local authorities nationwide to engage directly with Structural Repairs Ltd to fully understand the scope and potential of this innovative RAAC solution. 'Time is running out for RAAC homeowners, who face mounting pressure from local authorities intent on pressing ahead with costly and highly disruptive remediation or demolition schemes — creating deep uncertainty and distress for affected families.' In March 2025, Aberdeen City Council approved plans to demolish and rebuild more than 500 RAAC-blighted properties in the city's Balganask neighbourhood. The project, which would result in the demolition of 366 council owned properties and 138 private homes, could cost as much as £150m. Meanwhile, in Clackmannanshire, three blocks of flats in the town of Tillicoultry have been empty since residents were evacuated in October 2023. Chowdhry has approached both local authorities with the ReGrid proposal. He told The Herald that the plan could prove to be a 'game changer' for homeowners facing the threat of eviction from their homes. People were evacuated from dozens of flats in Tillicoultry. (Image: Scott Barron) The veteran campaigner said: 'The ReGrid system offers a credible, non-intrusive, and far more affordable alternative to full roof replacements. 'Because ReGrid is only a fraction of the cost of conventional approaches, a national funding programme from the Scottish Government or UK Government becomes a realistic and achievable proposition — bringing hope to thousands of families who currently see no affordable path forward. 'We call on decision-makers to pause existing schemes, properly investigate this technology, and immediately begin a study of ReGrid — because every week of delay leaves more families trapped in limbo.' Homeowners affected by RAAC have previously told The Herald of the mental anguish caused by the crisis. Lynn Winstanley, who lives in Balnagask, said earlier this year: 'It's been very stressful for everyone. We weren't planning on selling our home, we would have picked a better economic state. 'People can't afford to take a loss on their homes. It's so difficult for everyone, especially those with young kids." Now, campaigners hope that the ReGrid solution could provide homeowners with a second chance at staying in their properties. Read more: 'No respect from day one': Where do the RAAC-hit residents of Balnagask go from here? 'We hold the cards': residents hit out at 'measly' council RAAC payments Calls for public inquiry to reveal origins of RAAC concrete crisis In a letter to Aberdeen City Council, Chowdry wrote: 'I would like to draw your attention to a potential solution that could significantly enhance Aberdeen City Council's approach to RAAC remediation. 'This approach could serve both council-owned and privately-owned RAAC homes in Aberdeen more quickly, cost-effectively, and with far less disruption than current replacement-roof proposals. It may also ease the financial and logistical pressures facing adjoining private homeowners who are presently tied into council-led repair programmes. 'If agreeable, I can arrange an introduction with the developers, who have offered to carry out a site survey, structural scan, and pull test on my daughter Hannah's RAAC-affected home in Aberdeen as a pilot demonstration. 'Such a test case could provide valuable evidence in evaluating its suitability for use within the city." Roger Line, Structural Repair CEO, told The Herald: "We believe that with the right engineering expertise and proven reinforcement technology, many RAAC-affected structures can be made safe, serviceable, and sustainable for decades to come." A spokesperson for Clackmannanshire Council said: 'Following consultation with the affected residents, the Council recently agreed to move forward with a plan for roof repairs at the three blocks of flats in Tillicoultry evacuated due to RAAC. 'Council officers are continuing to engage with everyone affected by the RAAC evacuations and we are committed to doing all we can to support residents through this ongoing process. 'We have also reached out to Aberdeen City Council to find out more about the proposed use of this material.' Aberdeen City Council has been approached for comment.

Riccardough's Pizza Kitchen to bring a slice of Italian heritage back to Oban
Oban is set to welcome Riccardough's, a new food business with a whole lot of history behind it. And one that promises to serve up a taste of authentic Italian pizza, many locals will remember fondly. Riccardough's Pizza Kitchen, a newly refurbished and eye-catching mobile pizza van, will soon be hitting the streets of Oban and surrounding villages. Behind the venture is 61-year-old Riccardo Pacitti, the son of the late Luigi and Dorina Pacitti, who ran the much-loved Luigi's Pizzeria and chip shop in the town for many years. Luigi's chip shop in Oban was a local institution. Known for its authentic Italian pizza and classic fish and chips, it became a community favourite. For years, locals and visitors alike queued for its fresh flavours and the warm, family-run atmosphere that made it a much-missed part of the town's food scene. The Pacitti family were pioneers of authentic Italian pizza in Oban, introducing freshly made bases and traditional toppings to customers long before the trend took off in Scotland. 'I was working in the chip shop at the time and people just loved it,' said Riccardo. 'We were the first in Oban to serve real, fresh Italian pizza. It's something I've always been proud of.' After leaving the family business, Riccardo spent 22 years working at sea. He returned home to Oban in 2020 due to health reasons and the impact of the Covid pandemic. Since then, he has been looking for a way back into the food trade — but finding a restaurant premises proved difficult. 'I was never thinking about a van,' he said. 'But my daughter Natalie and her partner David encouraged me to give it a go.' Natalie runs a successful beauty business Oro Rosa, in the shop premises her grandparents once owned, and David MacPhee runs a digital marketing company, Digital Minded, and the This is Oban website. 'They've really helped me get this off the ground,' Riccardo said. The result is Riccardough's Pizza Kitchen — a fully renovated pizza van that has been in the works since March and has just received a striking new wrap from Impact Branding. Riccardo grew up steeped in Italian cooking, learning recipes and techniques from his parents. He says Riccardough's will allow him to share that heritage with a new generation of customers. Riccardough's Pizza Kitchen will serve at lunchtimes in Oban town centre near Tesco, before moving on to villages such as Connel, Dunbeg and others in the evenings. The van will also be available for parties, weddings and events, with Riccardo working on a set schedule so people know when and where to find it. As for the menu, Riccardo is keeping his cards close to his chest. 'I'm keeping the recipe and flavours under my chef's hat for now,' he said. 'But let's just say they'll be familiar to anyone who remembers Luigi's Pizzeria.' With the final touches being put in place, Riccardough's Pizza Kitchen is expected to open very soon.

High-speed broadband collaboration for Scottish homes and businesses
Emtelle, which is based in Hawick with manufacturing sites in Scotland, Germany, Denmark, Abu Dhabi and the US, said the collaboration will see it supply duct, sub-duct and fibre infrastructure for new full-fibre networks to enable 'fibre to the premises' speeds of up to 10 gigabits per second. The infrastructure is being supplied to GoFibre as part of the Edinburgh-based company's fourth contract under the £5 billion Project Gigabit. This contract is worth £105m, and will see GoFibre deliver high-speed broadband connections and download speeds to around 63,000 residents and businesses, in parts of the city of Aberdeen and elsewhere in Aberdeenshire, as well as in Angus, Dundee, the Highlands, Moray, and Perth and Kinross, Emtelle noted. The first connections are due to be delivered by summer 2026. The Scottish Government has noted it plays "a key role in delivering Project Gigabit procurements in Scotland, working closely with the UK Government to deploy funding committed to connect some of the hardest to reach geographies across the UK". Read more Emtelle, which describes itself as a 'global leader' in the supply of passive network infrastructure for high-speed connectivity, has partnered with GoFibre on its commercial network build, and to deliver previous contracts under Project Gigabit. GoFibre's network now extends to more than 120,000 premises, and covers in excess of 30 'hard-to-reach' areas in Scotland and the north of England. Emtelle and GoFibre, which was founded in the Scottish Borders town of Duns, joined forces to enhance digital connectivity for 8,000 residents and businesses in Hawick. The Hawick-based company noted it had played a key role by manufacturing and supplying the duct, sub-duct, and fibre needed to deliver full-fibre connectivity to the Scottish Borders town, supporting GoFibre's regional rollout. Gavin Faulds, chief commercial officer of Emtelle, said: 'We are delighted to be strengthening our partnership with GoFibre in order to bring full-fibre connectivity to more than 60,000 premises in the north-east of Scotland. 'As a major Scottish employer, we firmly believe Scotland needs a first-class digital network across every town and village in order to reduce the digital divide and boost economic growth. That is why we are committed to improving its networks, especially for those in rural regions who are the hardest to reach.' He added: 'In the long term, we aim to continue our partnership with GoFibre, and build the infrastructure that further transforms connectivity in both Scotland and the UK.' GoFibre chief executive Neil Conaghan said: 'Our strategic partnership with Emtelle is an important enabler for GoFibre to deliver our Project Gigabit contract in the north-east of Scotland. GoFibre and Emtelle are both Borders-born, and for two Scottish businesses to play such a crucial role in delivering gigabit connectivity for the country shows the strength of local supply chain. We're glad to have Emtelle as our strategic infrastructure partner.'
