Fashion retailer New Look is to close its flagship store for a complete revamp only 18 months after its launch. The Oxford Street shop cost £3m to transform into a space age, colourful fashion store and was praised by design critics. And while sales targets surpassed expectancies, the warehouse styling was not popular with some customers. Chief executive Phil Wrigley said the decision to close the store for two weeks in the Spring was not a disaster, but rather a "celebration of success".
