One of our secret LFM reporters got inside access to Urban Outfitters in the city centre of Newcastle. We even got to interview the head of womenswear!

Q. What is it about UO that appeals to Newcas-tle?A. Urban Outfitters appeals to Newcastle because unlike other branded stores we sell a lifestyle including music, housewares, giftwares etc everything you need to be ‘Urban’.

Q.Do you think the price is right? A. Although we do have a high price point, we do also have lower priced basic range ....... We also offer student discount to make the deal sweeter. The designer range is also a reasonableprice point for exclusives.

Q.Why does UO sell a range of brands?A. We sell a range of brands to create variety. We have our own brands in store however they are not named by us. ‘BDG’ is our own brand of denim for example. We also have ‘Staring at Stars’, ‘Sparkle and ‘Fade Silence’ and ‘Noise’.

Q.Do you sell anything wacky/controversial? A. We sell many wacky house/gift wares, rude gift cards, penguin/cat salt and peppar pots, back scratchers (rulers), afro washing up brushes. We also sell vinyls and sometimes limited edition re-launches ie. Madonna, Dirty Dancing andGrease. We also stock the books that go with these.

Q. Is there any exclusive deals or events for Newcastle Customers? A. We regularly hold in store events, we had DJ’s, live bands and acts in store alongside bars such as Mr Lynch, No 28 and Kopparburg Cidar. We intend on holding many more in the future as it creates a buzz in store and out, it also creates community within the store.

Q.What is the store’s concept? A. Our store concept is individuality. The industrial visuals within the store and building are intentional to give that wow factor and makes you enjoy the shopping experience. We play the latest music that we also sell in store to once again create the ‘Urban’ lifestyle.

Q.How would your define Newcastle’s Fashion?A. Newcastle has two types of customer at Urban...1. The grungey, hippy traveller, band tee’s, dark colours, artistic tattoo’s, piercings, chunky jewellery, maxi dresses, crop tops, disco pants, silver, biker boots, messy hair type. 2. The Wealthy, equestrian, feminine, skinny jeans, chiffon, silk, delicate, leggings, victorian boots, leather jacket, floral type.

Q.What is your most popular product?A. Our most popular product would be between renewal levi destroy shorts and renewal F2 khaki utility jacket. They are this season’s key item to wear with any outfit. Urban has a feature on dresses at the minute and we have over 30 styles including sale dresses. However, Newcastle

does not appear to be a dress kind of city.

NEWCASTLE!

Q. What is the trend to look for this A/W for UO customers?

A. We currently have two trends in our A/W season:Modern Beat - teddy boy, preppy, drainpipes, leather jackets and pretty colours.

Tarot - Grungy, gypsey, traveller, lacey, layered, twilight and illuminati.

NAME:Rebecca Gippert

AGE: 20

OCCUPATION: Student

WHERE DO YOU LIVE: Newcastle Upon Tyne

FAVOURITE ITEM OF CLOTHING: My River Island jeans. Comfortable and always seem to match everything with them!

PERSONAL STYLE: I like the casual smart look. Choosing one item that is dressy can really transform my casual clothes.

WHERE DO YOU SHOP: I shop in River Island, Next, Republic... any high street store!

FASHION NO NO: I cannot understand why women would wear box like garments. We have curves for a reason!

WHAT CAN YOU NOT FIND: I’m really struggling to find a decent and stylish win-ter coat. I like fur but also classic styles. I would invest some money into the coat as it looks like im going to need it for a while!

Barbour £89.95 Available at Jules B Boutique.

Next £85.00

Page 17

River Island £100

All Saints £150

Firstly, Rebecca said she likes classic styles and instantly Barbour came to mind. The heritage of this brand is comfortable, hardwearing and stylish. Secondly, All Saints is all about the luxury. Leather is always a classic choice but lacks practicality. When she mentioned fur, I recognised the unique look of this River Island coat. This will definitely keep her warm during the cold winter months. The last choice I picked was from Next as it encompasses the classic look of the winter/puffer coat but s also practical having both hood and pockets.

Want to know which coat Rebecca chose? Read next week’s fashion finder only in LFM!

e. This party season is all about the burgundy colour!

We have selected a few items from and TopShop.

Topshop have definitely made a statement this season with the classic burgundy velvet dress, perfect for casual occasions, styled with tights, black pumps and a blazer, but accessorised correctly with a striking gold necklace, clutch bag and shoes this outfit has the potential to become party dress heaven!

The polka dot dress is also a gem from Topshop. This dress has been designed classically to fit a women’s curves and the polka dot print gives it a fun and eye catching appeal. A must for the christmas party season!

Last but definitely not least, is this bodycon dress.Want show off your hard work at the gym? This is the perfect dress for you. The cut out detail provides a little more a of a sexy feel but not giving to much away. If you want to push the look further how about accessorising with a leopard print bag and plain coloured heels. Perfect for dancing the night away!

Newcastle’s main Topshop Store is located in Eldon

Square but also has a concession stall in Fenwicks.
