Online clothes retailer ASOS has reported an interim loss of GBP120,000, despite reporting sales growth of 78%. Although the loss was a result of increased investment in new ranges and greater warehouse capacity in anticipation of the Christmas rush, the company will need to keep a tight rein on its processes to ensure costs do not escalate.

Gap has largely written off the festive trading season, cutting its full year earnings forecast after finding that the number of shoppers entering its stores has fallen by 8%. The firm's central problem is not new: consumers are rejecting its clothing lines as too trendy one season, too safe the next and generally less exciting than offerings from the likes of H&M and Zara.

Europe's largest clothing retailer Hennes & Mauritz announced yesterday that it had met its goal of reversing a two-year slide in same-store sales by introducing more tailored garments and designer collections.

When the administrators were called in to take over at Forminster, Kookai's UK franchise operator, the fashion chain may have at first appeared to be an early casualty of the consumer spending slowdown. However, Kookai's problems in the UK are not just aligned to a difficult trading environment or its positioning in the market. They stem from a lack of adaptability to the local market.

Next's trading update for Christmas 2005 is one of the first significant indicators of how British retail fared over Christmas. The fashion retailer's modest turnaround in like-for-like sales has seen Next shares rise to a 12-month high.
