Monki, which is owned by H&M, has quietly closed down it's flagship store on Carnaby Street in London. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Monki has closed down its store on Carnaby Street in London. It draws a line under a 12-year stint on the popular London shopping street known for housing funky brands. The store has now vanished as H&M continues with its plans to integrate the brand with another one of its fashion lines, Weekday. News of the closure will come a blow to shoppers, who in the past described it as their "favourite store" in the world. While another fan said the clothes were "amazing quality" and "look so good". H&M already pulled the shutters on Monki branches across Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle and Sheffield earlier this year. Remaining stores in Bristol and Glasgow will also close later this year or be transformed into a new concept store. Monki's online store has also closed down with the brand now only available to shop through the revamped Weekday website.

Beloved department store chain shutting more locations with clearance sales on now until final May 25 deadline "The newly formed Weekday multi-brand destination will cater to customers' high aesthetic standards while embracing their multitude of unique expressions." As part of the process, H&M has also revived its Cheap Monday brand and begun selling it in select Weekday stores and online. The fashion line was a hit during the early noughties, but H&M axed it in 2018, blaming poor sales. The brand has rolled out collaborations with Landon Barker, the step-son of Kourtney Kardashian, as it looks to grab the attention of young shoppers. Weekday currently has five locations in the UK, all of which are in London. Like Monki, it caters towards a younger audience and sells trendy fashion pieces. TROUBLE ON THE HIGH STREET High street retailers have been struggling to compete with the likes of Shein and Temu, which sell fast fashion products at an ultra-low price. The rising cost of living has also meant that customers have less money to part with when they do hit the shops. This cocktail of rising costs and changing consumer habits has battered the high street over the last few years, with a number of popular brands reducing their estates. River Island will shutter a branch in Banbury on June 28, as it is set to undergo a restructuring due to tough trading conditions. The fashion brand, which has been sported by Paris Fury and Cat Deeley, has quietly closed a number of stores in the past few months. A branch in Willows Place, Corby closed in April and a separate site in Vicar Lane Shopping Centre in Chesterfield closed in the same month. Elsewhere, New Look has closed its entire estate in the Republic of Ireland. Earlier this year, Select Fashion closed 35 branches across the UK after it entered into liquidation. Ted Baker was also forced to close over 30 stores last year after it went bust.

Weekday kicks off its multi-brand platform with new campaign
Marketplaces are hot right now and the latest to jump in is H&M Group's Weekday, which has 'officially transform[ed] into a creative multi-space destination". That doesn't mean it's transforming into a destination buy tens or even hundreds of labels as is the case with many marketplaces. Instead, it's "welcoming Monki under its roof alongside Cheap Monday, exclusive drops, secondhand, and more'. The company said that 'together, these culture-driven brands will continue to evolve with the now and embrace the many true expressions of youth – all day, every day'. It also pointed out that 'each brand keeps its own distinct identity while creating synergies for the creative generation'. And while the onlinee channel will be key for many of its shoppers, there's also a physical element with its first multi-brand store already open in Stockholm (Götgatan). Next will come Hamburg (Mönckebergstrasse), Vienna (Mariahilfer Strasse), Paris (Rue de Rivoli) and Aarhus (Guldsmedgade) that are set to follow later this year as 'the first steps in expanding the experience into physical spaces, with more to come'. The marketplace move also comes with a launch campaign, Everything Now — Leave Nothing Unexpressed. The brand said it 'marks the beginning of Weekday's new chapter, showcasing that everything you need to express yourself is right here'. It's a 'celebration of youth culture in motion' and shines a light on 'those who live life to the fullest and see every day as a canvas, stage or moment to express who they are'. Weekday aims to be 'their platform for switching moods, trying on new identities, playing with aesthetics and feeling totally free'. And beyond mere clothes, it also aims to 'bring creative energy to life'. Fronting the campaign are Weekday muses Raya Martigny, Jolagreen23, Lennon Gallagher, Rose Gray and Tess McMillan. The retailer said that 'each of them blends Weekday, Monki and Cheap Monday into their own style language, intensifying the diverse expressions of all three brands. As artists, creators and cultural voices, they mirror a generation that never stops experimenting with style and self-expression, always in pursuit of what could be'. They've been photographed and directed by Richie Talboy, 'whose cinematic lens draws viewers into a layered, dynamic world where every frame tells a story within a story'.
