Umbro is back, and it’s better than ever.

Images left to right: Busby babe tee, £20. Grandad top, £36. Feather stripe shirt, £47.20.

Umbro is a new and exclusive brand to House of Fraser, it’s gone back to its roots in sports tailoring, to produce a slick and stylish new range.

Where did it all begin? Well, Umbro started life as a Manchester based football brand. It got its big break way back in 1934, by creating Manchester City’s football kit. Manchester City then went onto win the FA Cup in their Umbro kit, which launched Umbro to sportswear stardom.

Images left to right: Striped cardigan, £48. Lambs wool jersey lined zip through, £68. Taped kagool, £60.

Today however, Umbro is all about slick sports tailoring, quirky motifs, retro styling and genuinely stylish pieces. Think casual shirts, bold shades and a style more suited to a premium denim range rather than a high street sportswear brand.

Umbro is currently having a fabulous promotion, all prices above are the new promotional prices. So if you’re looking for a new brand to go crazy for this season, you may have just found it.

When the news broke that we had acquired Biba you couldn’t have imagined such excitement, it looked like Christmas had come early. Big grinning smiles and the obligatory silent hand clapping that goes hand in hand with such things was mimicked up and down the office.

Biba will join House of Fraser’s other house brands including Therapy and Linea. Biba was the Topshop of the 60s, and remains sought after by fashion lovers and collectors everywhere. Launched in 1964 by Barbara Hulanicki, Biba defined a generation of wearable yet cutting edge fashion that continues to look on trend even today.

Biba has been recreated a couple of times but without much success. This time it is set to epitomise a new generation. House of Fraser will not only be creating modern day pieces but will also be recreating the archive collections.

It’s a fashion lover’s dream of silk prints, denims, and maxi dresses. There will be different ranges including Biba Blue for the denims, and Biba Gold for limited edition more expensive pieces.

Talking about this surprising yet wonderful move John King, Chief Executive Officer said:

“We have a fantastic new design team who will use the extensive archive to maintain the passion and energy of the original Biba brand. This, coupled with our nationwide store base, makes us confident that House of Fraser is the perfect home for modern-day Biba.”

It’s a brave step to rework a much loved iconic brand, but the success of 70s brand Halston shows that with the right direction it can work and be a success. Biba defined a generation and now it’s back with a bang.

The Biba collection will be available from September 2010 and will be exclusive to House of Fraser, it will be stocked online and in 30 select stores.
