In its trading update for the year to August 30, 2008, Debenhams proved that its strategy of focusing on its own brand and designer ranges was beginning to bear fruit. Although like-for-like sales were down 0.9%, this is well ahead of competitors, and is encouraging given the difficult economic background. This trend is beginning to reverse the poor perception of the retailer and its management.

Debenhams' strategy of increasing its own brand mix, combined with improvements in product and visual merchandising, appears to have been successful. The retailer will introduce new own bought ranges, and with further online developments in the pipeline, Debenhams looks well positioned for future growth.

Despite the volatility of the market and negative like-for-likes, Debenhams produced an upbeat trading statement with many positives; it is taking share from competitors, improving gross margin, controlling costs and reducing its net debt, albeit by small increments. Furthermore, Debenhams' investment in own brand is paying off, and will underpin H2 performance.

Although UK retailing remains challenging, Debenhams has reported strong full-year results. Furthermore, the retailer is developing a brand strategy that, despite depending on space expansion, gives it plenty of future growth opportunities, with considerable potential both online and internationally.

Strong Christmas results from the UK's leading department stores indicate a resurgence in the channel. While the department store model lends itself well to the gift-giving period due to its wide product range, other elements of the business - namely online - have come to the fore, which will provide growth opportunities in the coming years as long as sufficient investment is made.

Spanish young fashion retailer Desigual has opened a store on London's Regent Street. Desigual offers directional fashion for young men and women. Likened to Bershka, Inditex's young fashion offer, Desigual's product does not seem to sit comfortably in the UK clothing market and UK shoppers may prove reluctant to pay the premium which Desigual expects for its fashion product.

Alexon, the retail group that owns Dolcis shoe shop is said to be offloading the chain which operates 67 UK stores and almost 150 concessions. Dolcis' performance has been particularly disappointing over the past year as it faces tough competition from fashion retailers who have offered footwear to match their clothing lines.

Alexon put its Dolcis store chain up for sale in July 2006 for GBP16 million. Its purchase by a group of investors, led by John Kinnaird, for GBP2.7 million is therefore far short of the target, but is not surprising considering the investment needed to turn it around.

According to a new report published by Verdict Research, e-retail shows no sign of succumbing to the economic downturn. Yet despite some degree of cannibalization, physical shopping is far from doomed. While an internet presence is vital, giving the consumer choice by establishing strong links between in-store and online offers is essential.

Elvi announced ambitious plans to modernize and update its brand at the end of last year.
