Who are the mystery 2 fashion retailers in trouble?

thepurplegoldfish

I've just watched Channel 4 news and Jon Snow mentioned that along with the known big names that have gone bust this week there is another 2 fashion retailers up the creek and expected to go bust soon.

Anyone any ideas on who they are?

Here's a snippet for C4 News website too

"And Channel 4 News has learned that at least two more fashion retailers are at risk of collapsing into administration in the next few weeks."

Makes you a bit wary of buying on-line in case you need to return it and they have gone under.

River Island?

I was thinking exactly this. I was planning on doing a little clothes shopping online, but I don't want to place an order and wake up to the news X has gone under (with my money still in their account). I've seen the trouble folk have had with other companies in administration and having money tied up in them.

I was thinking maybe River island, New Look, Peacocks whenever I go by there's never anyone in there, but the same could be said of a lot of shops at the moment.

Jane Norman is one. Don't know who the other one could be.

They mentioned Jane Norman and then said they had insider knowledge that another 2 were in trouble but couldn't mention names

TJ Hughes has gone into administration although I know they aren't really classed as a fashion retailer.
My daughter won't survive if River Island goes!!

It's been in the papers this week that share prices in Debenhams have gone down, maybe explains all the continuous sales they have these days

Hi, I have heard alot of rumblings that Debenhams are in trouble, these were from people in the finance sector. Apparently there has been whisperings of this for a while.

I can't see it being Debenhams they were rumoured to be trying to buy the Jane Norman Brand, although I believe Edinburgh Woollen Mill has bought it or at least bought some of it.

Damn Jon Snow for this...
