British Embassy in Tokyo calls for sponsors to support fashion trade event
The British Embassy in Tokyo is calling for partners and sponsors to support an event in Japan intended to welcome UK delegates from the Fashion and Luxury sector. The 'showcase and reception' are being held as part of the UK at Expo programme, which is currently being held in Osaka up until October 13.
UK brands are to be showcased within the Ambassador's Residence via invite-only events, where an audience of Japanese fashion buyers, luxury media, stylists, cultural tastemakers and business leaders will be present.
In a press release on the UK government's site, the initiative was said to be aimed at 'creating a valuable platform for networking and collaboration', with a shared objective of strengthening commercial ties and boosting UK exports to the Japanese market.
While the bolstering of British fashion caters to a rising demand for UK brands in Japan itself, this event also further contributes to wider relationship goals between the UK and Japanese governments, which earlier this year, held their first Economic 2+2 Ministers' Meeting.
Through this collaboration, the two regions, which share an annual economic relationship valued at 27 billion pounds, hope to enhance business opportunities, create jobs and promote economic stability through free trade and energy cooperation, among other things.
For now, companies interested in sponsoring the fashion event at the British Embassy in Tokyo are asked to contact the embassy by July 27.

We have a golden opportunity to create a new ‘Brand Britain 2.0'
President Reagan famously said the nine most terrifying words in the English language are: 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.' More than 40 years on, that's a message that business owners across Britain still sympathise with. It's also a message I've been thinking about a lot as the government prepares to launch its industrial strategy next week. It's a signature part of the government's growth agenda, and from speaking to the chancellor and the business secretary, I know it's something they believe in passionately as a way of putting rocket boosters under the economy. So companies are expectant, but nervous. The last time the government knocked on their door they saw billions added to their tax bills by increasing national insurance contributions. I speak to owners of companies of every size and shape day in, day out. And while they're clear they want no further taxes, they are equally clear that there is a hugely important role for the government to play in helping them to grow. That's the prize that's at the heart of this industrial strategy. It must provide a genuine road map for how Britain's entrepreneurs, fuelled with huge reserves of imagination, ingenuity and dogged determination, can go further and faster to drive the economy forward. • Cheaper energy will be key for Labour's industrial strategy We have a golden opportunity to use the industrial strategy to create a new 'Brand Britain 2.0', that uses the strength of our past as the base to build an even better future. So how will we know if this industrial strategy has been a success? It must set out clearly how we will leverage the country's competitive advantages. The eight priority sectors are the right ones — advanced manufacturing, financial services, life sciences, defence, digital, clean energy, professional and business services and our world-beating creative industries. But alongside the key growth sectors of the economy, it must integrate every region's strengths into the plan, ensuring benefits for businesses and people across all nations of the United Kingdom. What will support industry in Glasgow isn't the same as what will drive growth in Colchester or Cornwall. Plans by the government to unleash the potential of the Oxford-Cambridge corridor are an important start — but it needs to seriously consider how this can be replicated across the country. It needs to set out how we close the skills gaps across the country, and how we create a stable regulatory environment, so businesses have certainty as they invest. It needs to address energy, too. British firms are being hamstrung by eye-watering energy bills, which is having a direct impact on their ability to invest and hire. And crucially, finance is the lifeblood of any business, so we need to see a plan that supports our most innovative firms to access capital and scale up their businesses. This is our chance to send a message to the world that the UK really is the best place to start, grow, invest and do business. Let's not pretend that delivering this will be easy. It will require major work across almost every department in government, and a commitment from the public and private sectors to work in lockstep like never before. At the British Chambers of Commerce, we've spent years calling for an industrial strategy that rises to the challenges that firms face and we're committed to making it work. Then we can set Britain on a path to thrive, not just survive. Shevaun Haviland is director-general of the British Chambers of Commerce

River Island to close 33 sites with hundreds of jobs at risk
The fashion retailer has unveiled a radical restructuring plan in a bid to reverse recent heavy losses due to a slump in trading. Bosses blamed the closures on the 'migration of shoppers from the high street to online' and higher costs to run stores. The family-owned retailer confirmed it is proposing to close 33 of its 230 stores by January next year as a result. A further 71 stores are also at risk, depending on talks with landlords in order to secure improved rental deals. The retailer, which employs around 5,500 people, was founded in 1948 under the Lewis and Chelsea Girl brand before being renamed in the 1980s. It has reportedly hired advisers from PwC in order to oversee the restructuring process. The proposals are set to go to a vote by the firm's creditors – companies or individuals owed money by the retailer – in August. The deal will result in fresh funding being invested in the business to help fuel its turnaround. Iconic islander, Amelia, does linen tailoring 🤍#ImWearingRI Ben Lewis, chief executive of River Island, said: 'River Island is a much-loved retailer, with a decades-long history on the British high street. 'However, the well-documented migration of shoppers from the high street to online has left the business with a large portfolio of stores that is no longer aligned to our customers' needs. 'The sharp rise in the cost of doing business over the last few years has only added to the financial burden. 'We have a clear strategy to transform the business to ensure its long-term viability. 'Recent improvements in our fashion offer and in-store shopping experience are already showing very positive results, but it is only with a restructuring plan that we will be able to see this strategy through and secure River Island's future as a profitable retail business. Recommended reading: 'We regret any job losses as a result of store closures, and we will try to keep these to a minimum.' The retailer is among high street fashion chains to have been impacted by weaker consumer spending and competition from cheaper online rivals, such as Shein. River Island fell to a £33.2 million loss in 2023 after sales slid by 19%, according to its most recent set of accounts.

Supermarket unveils giant croissant to mock 'sky high' price of pastries
A survey of 2,000 adults revealed that they indulge in two of the buttery pastries each month. The study suggests that Brits will consume a staggering 1,771 croissants over their lifetime. Yet, despite their fondness for the French delicacy, three out of 10 believe they shouldn't cost more than £1. Shockingly, certain high street bakers are currently asking up to £2.80 for a solitary croissant. In a playful jab at rivals, Asda has unveiled a remarkably large croissant, taking a dig at the price of croissants in competing high street bakeries. This one-off version is quintuple the regular size, dramatically showcasing the price difference among bakery products. The supermarket's individual in-store bakery snack is a bargain at just 53p, compared to £3 for a similar product at other outlets. An Asda representative shared their excitement, saying: "We had so much fun creating this giant croissant." They continued, "We want to make sure the tasty French snack is accessible to all and will now be selling single-serve croissants in our new bakery counter for five times less than some other bakery chains. "The price of such a simple item has risen considerably in recent years, and so we wanted to raise awareness off this using non-other than a giant version." The move follows research revealing 37 per cent of consumers prefer the convenience of buying their croissants from supermarket aisles or directly from the in-store bakery. Interestingly, 17 per cent of people believe they would struggle to tell the difference between a supermarket-bought croissant and one made by an artisan baker. However, over half of those surveyed said it was essential for a croissant to be authentically French, made using traditional French techniques and ingredients. An Asda spokesperson commented on the appeal of the pastry, saying, "There's something undeniably comforting about a croissant - that perfect balance of crisp, flaky pastry and soft, buttery layers inside." They also noted the growing popularity of croissants in the UK, stating, "Croissants have gone from being a continental treat to a firm favourite in British households and cafés, and it's easy to see why. They bring a touch of indulgence to even the simplest of mornings." The spokesperson further added, "The prices have gone sky high in a number of our high street chains. We believe customers should be paying a fair price."
