Another day, another London fashion store opening announcement. Having first hinted at its intended arrival in the capital in February, active-inspired TALA has earmarked 24 May for the official flagship store opening on Carnaby Street. Becoming its first physical store, the digitally native brand says it marks a 'major milestone in the brand's significant growth… for the first time ever, customers will be able to shop the complete best-selling Tala collection under one roof', it says. The latest move builds on its 'ambitious growth strategy', backed by its £5 million funding round led by Pembroke VCT, alongside Venrex and Active Partners in July 2024. The investment has 'enabled TALA to explore a retail format, accelerate both domestic and international scaling and hiring more senior team'. For the upcoming opening weekend, visitors can expect a 'high-energy experience' with a live DJ, interactive photobooth, giveaways, treats and special guests', it promises. And the centre of attraction will be the brand's new 'Summer Active' collection, landing exclusively on Carnaby Street, a week ahead of its launch anywhere else. Limited-edition Carnaby Street products, will include the brand's signature oversized hoodies alongside its 'cult-favourite' collections, including Swimwar, DayFlex, SkinLuxe and 365. The 2,000 sq ft, double-fronted store spans two levels 'blend[ing] contemporary design with bold brand-led features' creates a space 'that beautifully showcases active pieces in a feminine, elevated and naturalistic setting that combines the utility of shopping activewear with a fashion-brand experience'. CEO Morgan Fowles said: 'Immersing our customers in the brand has always been a key element in the decision for us to transform from a leading e-commerce brand to a prominent player in the physical retail landscape. 'Our flagship is more than just a shopping destination. It's a strategic extension of our brand and a way to engage with our community in a more meaningful, in-person way. Consumer shopping habits are constantly evolving, but our customers have made it clear that physical retail remains a powerful channel for connection. We're delighted to mark this next chapter for TALA with a space that genuinely reflects our brand and ethos.' And its next phase of expansion 'in response to the growing consumer demand for tactile and immersive shopping experiences' is 'one of the first steps in the brand's wider omnichannel expansion plans, reflecting its commitment to meet customers both on and offline'.

Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum holds annual easter egg hunt
WESTON, (WBOY) — Coming off a night of severe storms in the northern part of the state, hundreds of children and families took advantage of the clearer skies and spent their Easter Sunday afternoon at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum (TALA) for its 15th annual Easter egg hunt. Michelle Graham, the filming and events manager at TALA, told 12 News that about 10,000 eggs were scattered around the lawn for the event. Children were separated into different areas and age ranges and rushed to pick up as many eggs as they could when the horn sounded off at 1 p.m. 'We're such a beautiful historic landmark here in Weston, West Virginia, we want people to come here and feel like they are a part of this community hub, just like it was when it was in operation,' Graham said. Easter Party held at Clarksburg City Park Although one of the largest events at the asylum, TALA is hosting several more community events throughout the year on top of its usual schedule of paranormal and historic tours. Mother's Day special on May 11 Father's Day car show on June 15 Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum Flea Market from Aug. 1 through Aug. 3 You can find the asylum's full schedule of events and tours here.
