In Numbers: the week in fashion in figures
It's been an eventful week in UK fashion retail as more stores across Wales and Scotland were permitted to reopen and those in Leicester were forced to shut down again. The lasting effects of the COVID crisis are starting to be seen with retailers making redundancies, closing stores and gearing up their digital operations to cope with shifting consumer behaviour.
We've rounded up the key stats of the week with links to the stories the matter (and in the case of the Lidl trainers on that bemuses) so you can head into the weekend feeling informed and inspired.
