Billie Piper fronts unusual Russell & Bromley campaign

Published

September 2, 2025

Two British ‘institutions’ have come together for a new campaign with premium footwear retailer Russell & Bromley releasing the first part of a campaign starring perennial favourite pop-star-turned-actress Billie Piper.

Under the brand’s still-new creative director Daniel Beardsworth-Shaw, it has partnered with her as its new face, something of an unusual move for the label that’s not previously been known for its celebrity ambassadors.

Shot by Brendan Freeman, the company has released the AW25 campaign that has a touch of the surreal about it (again, an unusual move for Russell & Bromley) with the first campaign phase, dubbed Cobblers, launching this month.

It’s an interesting take on the story of the woman who lived in a shoe with Piper being seen inside an oversized boot. It also ties in neatly with Russell & Bromley’s tradition of craft.

November will see the second phase of the campaign, dubbed Fab, as the cobbler’s shop evolves into a nightclub with Piper as the host and the product directly referencing the party season that kicks off at the same time.

It’s an interesting blend of the traditional and the modern and the unusual ads should certainly grab consumer attention.

And it’s perhaps a reflection of a changed approach under Beardsworth-Shaw, who was named as the label’s first-ever creative director in summer 20204. He said: “I’m incredibly proud to introduce Billie as the face of our AW25 campaign and my debut collection for Russell & Bromley.

“She embodies the spirit of modern British style with such ease and individuality, and brings a sense of energy, confidence and charm that feels completely in tune with where we’re headed. Billie couldn’t be a more fitting choice. Since joining the business, my focus has been on evolving the brand with purpose, building on our heritage while designing for a new generation. Billie brings that vision to life with real personality.”

January 20, 2026

​Big beauty firms continue to open statement stores at key UK destinations with Superdrug now choosing to “significantly upsize” at Merry Hill. 

Merryhill

It’s set to double its footprint to 16,000 sq ft at the West Midlands mall creating the brand’s biggest UK store to date.

Planned to open in Q2, Superdrug’s recommitment to Merry Hill is the latest in a series of leading brands to “significantly invest” in the centre, with operator Sovereign Centros/CBRE noting a 3% year-on-year sales boost in the beauty category.

It follows M&S’s 100,000 sq ft flagship store opening in November, which also includes a strong beauty element, while Superdrug sister value beauty brand Savers opened a 5,000 sq ft unit last year, also its largest in the UK so far. 

The upsized Superdrug store will feature a more extensive range of the latest beauty products, as well as access to treatments such as ear piercing, manicures, and eyebrow threading.

Clare Jennings, property director at Superdrug, said: “This year, we will continue our programme of refurbishing stores, acquiring new sites and expanding existing stores, with Merry Hill selected as the site for one of our largest Superdrug stores in the UK. 

“Choosing Merry Hill for this expansion was ideal, given its strong mix of health and beauty retailers and its position as a super-regional hub in the West Midlands. It’s the perfect location to grow our store and continue serving our loyal Merry Hill customers.”

January 20, 2026

Department store group Fenwick has expanded its association with Danish fashion brand Selected, launching a new nationwide collaboration that’s “rich [in] digital and social content”.

Fenwick’s Newcastle flagship – Fenwick/Selected

The omnichannel activation, which appears across all eight Fenwick stores, “marks a significant moment” between the two, “reinforcing Selected’s growing presence in the British market through the UK’s largest chain of family-owned departments stores, while connecting physical retail with digital storytelling and social engagement”.

Rooted in Scandi minimalism, the brand continues to create “versatile, elevated wardrobe essentials designed for everyday life” with key pieces across the collections include “refined tailoring, premium knitwear, elevated denim and modern outerwear, designed to move seamlessly between work, leisure and social moments”.

Selected

Launching alongside Selected’s ‘Wardrobe Reset’ campaign, the activation rolls out across the Fenwick locations, brought to life through window takeovers, refreshed shop fits, and a programme of in-store styling moments and customer events, they said.

The physical activations will be supported by Fenwick’s digital platforms and social channels, with curated content designed to highlight the collection’s, “styling approach and campaign storytelling”.

So the partnership will feature a customer event at Fenwick Newcastle on 11 February featuring an informal talk and styling moment centred on Selected’s new season, alongside an arrival drink, Nordic-inspired canapés, DJ and curated gift bags.

The styling event includes a panel with Søren Riisberg, head of the Northwest Sales Region at Selected, and Fenwick head of buying, Victoria Claridge.

Leo Fenwick, partnerships director at the family firm said: “Selected is a natural partner… sharing our commitment to quality, considered design and accessible modern style.

“The partnership reflects a sense of refresh and optimism at the start of the year, with [the brand’s] clean Scandinavian aesthetic bringing a fresh perspective to our fashion offer. Alignment between our brand values and partner environments is central to our long-term partner strategy.”

Riisberg also said: “Fenwick is a highly valued partner, the brand campaign and expanding our branded spaces together marks an important step in positioning Selected even stronger in the UK market.”

Moorer widens range as revenue nears €60m, preps NYC, Miami, Japan openings and Harrods space

January 20, 2026

In the last four years, Italian luxury outerwear label Moorer has doubled its revenue by extending its product range and opening several monobrand stores. Its founder and CEO Moreno Faccincani took back full control of the company in October 2025. In fiscal 2025, Moorer recorded revenue of approximately €60 million, growing in single digits. The Verona-based company’s performance was driven by Italy, Germany, the USA and Japan.

Last May, Moorer moved from its previous Milanese showroom into new, 1,000 sq m+ premises elsewhere in the city, in viale Regina Giovanna. A strategic decision dictated by Moorer’s desire to showcase the full extent of its collections, which now also include womenswear and feature a total look approach covering all product categories. Besides outerwear, whose revenue share has fallen from 95% to 70% of the total in the last five years, Moorer also sells shoes, knitwear, trousers and perfumes, as well as a first skiwear capsule collection launched last year.

Moorer products are available at Milan’s Global Blue tax-free shopping lounge in via Sant’Andrea, where they are on display for two months ahead of the Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics, and are also available at Moorer’s monobrand store in Cortina d’Ampezzo. 

Moorer has expanded its mountain resort range, introducing high-tech ski suits with linings decorated with prints of the Dolomites, enhanced by silk details and equipped with deep, comfortable pockets. The garments almost look like works of art. In the Fall/Winter 2026-27 collection, Moorer has extended its knitwear assortment, introducing new models and original prints, broadened its footwear’s colour palette, and premièred a socks range.

Retail-wise, Moorer currently operates monobrand stores in via Montenapoleone in Milan, at Ginza in Tokyo, and in Prague, Knokke (Flanders) and Cortina d’Ampezzo. Six months ago, the label opened a new store in via Borgognona in Rome. A 260 sq m store with 11 shop windows is scheduled to open in New York City, in the heart of the Meatpacking District, in March. It will be followed in September by a store in Miami, and by a second store in Japan. 

Moorer’s growth is underpinned by a substantial investment plan. The company is now operating its e-shop in-house, and has hired new staff to reach a total of 200 employees.

It serves approximately 600 wholesale clients worldwide, and is boosting its direct presence within multibrand stores by means of pop-up projects, marketing activations involving shop windows, and by setting up more permanent shop-in-shops. The label’s wholesale channel growth is primarily driven by the DACH area. Moorer is currently the best-selling outerwear brand at Lodenfrey in Munich. The label will soon open a new corner at Harrods, while the space at Rinascente in Milan has been converted into a concession following its successful sell-out results.
