Today, I literally picked up the same item
of clothing in three different chain stores on the high street. The only difference was the price.
When, for goodness sake, will we start to
see a bit more variety across the usual group of chain stores that make up our
High Street? Those of use who can’t
afford designer labels, but still love to shop, don’t want to see repeats of
the same clothes – we want to see some individuality in the stores; to know
that a particular brand is pursuing its own fashion identity rather than
copying the runways and regurgitating the same stuff as everyone else.
It is such a shame that 30% of independent
fashion boutiques have been lost from our high streets. This is where those of us who can’t afford
designer, but want something more special than economy, would go to find
special pieces to express ourselves as individuals.
Message to the high street chain of
retailers: Let’s risk a little imagination please!
