On this episode of Talking Shop, we're joined by Dan Cate, CEO and Founder of SoldThrough. Dan is a heavyweight retail executive who has spent decades steering the merchandising and digital operations of America’s most iconic retail institutions, from Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdale’s to Century 21 and Lord & Taylor. Today, through his platform SoldThrough, Dan helps international fashion brands cross the Atlantic and crack the notoriously brutal U.S. retail landscape. We break down his journey from the shop floor to the C-suite, the operational indicators that prove a brand is truly ready for international expansion, and how to navigate a fragmented American market without destroying your margins. We also discuss how to balance localised inventory with central efficiency, and the one non-negotiable metric that tells you a product has found genuine market fit.

British luxury retailer Ted Baker and Beano Studios have announced plans to collaborate on a 2018 ‘Beano Baker’ kidswear collection.

Inspired by Beano’s original Fan Club colours and style guides, the fashion collection will launch in July 2018 consisting of loungewear, shirts, hoodies and t-shirts featuring iconic Beano artwork and characters, which include Dennis and Gnasher.

The ‘Beano Baker’ collection will be available in 45 key Debenhams stores across the country including regions such as Oxford Street, Glasgow, Manchester, Henry Street, Reading and Birmingham.

EVP of global consumer products and TV distribution at Beano Studios, Allison Watkins, said: “Ted Baker and Debenhams are the perfect retail partners for Beano to collaborate and launch a kidswear collection with. Both Beano and Ted Baker are brands recognised to be full of fun, with a high level of mischief.

“In our 80th year, it’s an ideal time for both brands to join together and shine through a blamtastic kids collection available through Debenhams.”

The fashion collection will be available at Debenhams from 2 July and online from mid-July onward.
