Springboard saw footfall down over 3% last week due to further restrictions and circa 33% fall on last year.

Terrible for clothes retailers no one is needing clothes when there is no where to go to.

Car sales down, 6,000 jobs to go at CIneworld.

Fiasco over test and trace, and a traffic light system on the way and more lockdowns.

To top it all it's raining.

Also Manchester has 500 cases per 100,000 the highest in the country.

By Caroline Leaper, Senior fashion editor2 OCTOBER 2020 • 1:21 PMFor the first time in Marks & Spencer's 136-year history, the British retailer has launched a new fashion label, to be sold amongst its own-brand collections. M&S will now sell pieces by Nobody's Child on its website, a move which represents the first time an external brand has been sold in the M&S clothing department, despite the fact that the beauty and food departments have sold select branded items since 2009.So why start with this particular brand, if the goal now is to become a multi-brand fashion retailer? For the uninitiated, Nobody's Child is a small London label, making eco-certified clothes at affordable prices. Sweet floral print midi dresses (typically around £35 each) and puff sleeve blouses (£29) are its speciality - its signature style is clearly defined and well established - it does what it does, and it does it well.  Since it was founded in 2015, the company has grown to produce sizable collections and is also available on multi-brand retailers ASOS and Very.M&S will stock 140 styles from the brand's autumn collection initially, adding explanations of each fabric and why it is sustainable in each product listing. M&S has said it will announce further brand partners in the coming months, after assessing the success of the Nobody's Child launch. Director of e-commerce Stephen Langford has described the fact that Nobody's Child "shares our passion for sustainable clothing" as the reason they were picked to be the debut collaborator.Skirt, £29, Nobody's Child at Marks & SpencerFollowing decades spent trying to invent and define meaningless fashion sub brands (RIP Limited Collection, Indigo et al, which were dropped last year) this bold move could be a good one for M&S. In using their large platform to sell a third-party fashion label, they are effectively buying into a ready-made package with strong aesthetic, point of view and market position - strengthening their own offering in the process.The key now will be in how much they buy, and who else they buy from. 140 styles sounds like a lot, for a retailer which just weeks ago had explained that it was reducing the size of its own clothing collections by 20 per cent in an attempt to focus on quality over quantity. Midi dress, £39, Nobody's Child at Marks & SpencerGetting the balance right will be critical; if they suddenly launch dozens of brands, with 100-plus styles each, they risk stuff-ocation, and will overwhelm audiences with too much choice. The last thing the M&S website needs to become is another ASOS, which currently offers, for example, 13,669 options in the women's dresses category alone.Rival retailer Next, meanwhile has been upping its game as a multi-brand online seller in recent months, buying the UK arm of lingerie label Victoria's Secret out of administration, in a deal which M&S had apparently competed for. So there's a weigh up to be done, as boosting your own brand by surrounding it with others that mean something to consumers is clearly considered the new way to go.With a carefully chosen edit of just a few external brand partners, this strategy might just work for Marks & Spencer. The right brands could plug specific gaps in the M&S fashion offering, while allowing the revived and refined M&S core collection to shine as the place to go for quality wardrobe classics once again.  ..
