Buy Me: Allders special collection
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Can you believe that these are clothes from the spring/summer range at Allders? Yes, that tired-looking department store seems to be upping the stakes in a bid to take on Debenhams and the others who have been encouraging young designers such as Pearce Fionda and Lulu Guiness to design diffusion ranges at a snip of the price of their designer ranges. We've already seen the fall, unsurprisingly, of Littlewoods, and if some other big-wigs don't get their thinking caps on there are going to be more casualties.
Just as well, then, that Allders seems to have come up with an ultra- wearable and amazingly priced collection, the best of which is seen here in a pastel floral print dress (pounds 27) and modern white trouser suit (jacket pounds 45, trousers pounds 33). Allders have also recently introduced the slightly more cutting edge A Grade collection for a more design-conscious market. Allders are the fourth largest department store on the high street, with over 20 stores throughout the country. Perhaps next time you walk past your local branch you'll do more than look at your reflection in the window and actually take a trip inside.
