Lewis Cohen
Partner, Mishcon de Reya

We are here at Mischon’s Annual Fashion Gallery.  This underlines our commitment to the fashion industry.  We act for a range of clients from small and medium companies to some of the world’s largest retailers.

Partner, Mishcon de Reya

It’s a perfect opportunity for smaller businesses in the fashion retail space from clothing, jewellery to candle making to actually having an opportunity to gain exposure to new clients and for our clients to see the kind of work that we are supporting.

Creating a retail ‘experience’

Ross Bailey
CEO, Appear Here

So today retail to us is all about the experience.  In real life situations, in the physical bricks and mortar store it’s got to be all about telling a story, all about the experience and all about building that brand connection.

Lewis Cohen
Partner, Mishcon de Reya

We are seeing a change from traditional retail where people would go in and there is lots of products piled up in stores to a new experience in retail and it is going to be interesting to see how retail has embraced technology in their stores, be it through tablets, through the use of mobile technology.

Polly McMaster
Founder, The Fold

We are predominantly an online business and what we have realised as we have grown is that while the online offering is great for some customers, being able for other customers to actually come and meet us, touch and feel the clothes, understand the quality behind them is really important to them.

It highlights are the importance of younger brands basically pushing forward more an experience based service alongside their products.

Engaging with customers

Rachel Galley
Rachel Galley Jewellery

I retail directly to the customers from my website.  I also use that as a trade tool for my retailers so they can log in and as a trade, so that’s a very important tool for me and my business.

Our preferred route is online and it’s a simple strategy, social media, you know, we use Twitter, we use Instagram, we sell a lot to the US, we sell into Asia and into mainland Europe, having an efficient, good looking website is essential really.

Becky French
Marwood

We sell internationally as a wholesale business so you can buy Marwood in Liberty, online with Mr Porter.  We sell with Bloomingdales and we have a great market in Japan.  People email us and say they have seen us on social media and Instagram is something that’s growing because it’s much more visual and it’s much easier to kind of connect with people.

Helen Clinch and Myra Nigris

Tonight is really about getting our products out to the consumer and as we do bespoke as it is vital for us to get new clients into the brand.

Helen Croft
Partner, Mishcon de Reya

We work as legal advisors, commercial advisors and facilitators so we look to always introduce people to those who can help.

What I really like about Mishcon is they are very interested in cultivating young brands and what they are doing with their privileged position is trying to put people together and an evenings like this is really good fun. 

Laura Chesters

Usually it’s men in suits, its’ quite quiet and warm wine, whereas tonight, it’s cocktails, loads of fun and DJ’s.
