British luxury fashion designer Amanda Wakeley's business has fallen into administration.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
AW Retail Limited has appointed Clare Lloyd and Colin Hardman of Smith & Williamson LLP as Joint Administrators,<\/strong> after the business, which specialises in occasion and bridalwear, collapsed as a result of the pandemic and the cancellation of social events.<\/p>\n The administrators said the brand's London store in Mayfair and its concessions had a particularly tough time, due to \u00a0lockdowns,<\/strong> but that its e-store and premium teleshopping channels had continued to trade.<\/p>\n Amanda Wakeley had needed an injection of capital to keep going but this had not been forthcoming, and no buyer had been found for the brand despite efforts from Smith & Williamson.<\/p>\n
