Fast fashion retailer New Look is to expand its China store network.
And while the UK retailer has modest aspirations in terms of store numbers – just 25 globally over five years – it is increasing its focus on menswear. Some of the new stores slated to open in China and France within the next 12 months will stock only men’s clothing.
New Look is experiencing “exceptional growth” in China, since its debut there early in 2015, according to UK news channel Retail Gazette.
The first standalone menswear store opened less than a year ago and customers of the previously womenswear brand have taken to its style and range.
New Look has not broken down the figures by market as to where the new stores will open.
