With this issue of Inside Retail Weekly we launch the first of our themed issues. Once a month, at the end of each month, IRW will feature a section dedicated to a specific sector of retail, which will include feature content, opinion columns, news pieces, store profiles, and more about that chosen sector.

We kick off with Fashion in this issue, with pages 16 to 23 devoted to fashion retail. In this section, we cover the much-anticipated launch of One Woman, a new store concept by Specialty Fashion Group; the opening of a Kit and Ace flagship in Sydney’s CBD; fashion trends for the A/W 15/16 season; and much more on all things fashion retail.

Of course, our themed issues will still include our other much-read sections, such as From The Source and Opinion. In From The Source this week we get the skinny from pet supplies retail veteran, Philip Bartholomew, the man behind the fast-growing My Pet Warehouse. In Opinion, we look at the public floats that are on the cards for a number of big-name Australian retailers looking to future growth.

You’ll find all of this, and much more, in Inside Retail Weekly Issue 2089. Keep an eye out in a month’s time for the next themed issue of Inside Retail Weekly.
