Belgium ,France and theRepublic of Ireland , popular at first with girls and women in the 12-24 age bracket but has recently diversified into men's clothing. In 2004 the company rebranded. London creative agency [http://www.thankodd.com ODD] developed a new brand expression 'The New Now' and developed the company's first ever advertising campaign, giving New Look a more upmarket image. The chain, the brainchild ofTom Singh (one of Britain's wealthiest businessmen), is notable for the short lead time inherent in its supply chain; it is estimated that clothing can go from drawing board to shop shelves in two weeks. It is known for its value-based approach to retailing and its core products are clothing, lingerie and shoes.New Look has now moved into online retailing as well as operating all 500+ stores -in the uk alone, and now offers selected top sellers on its website, as well as the sub-brands (ie. Tall, Inspire, Maternity...etc)
New Look employees receive a staff card which entitles them to 50% discount on full price items for themselves and one member of the opposite sex.
