In need of a makeover

Article Abstract:

UK retail concerns Laura Ashley and Body Shop are both having to address the problem of brand repositioning in the new business climate of the 1990s. Body Shop seems to have fewer serious problems than Laura Ashley, but still recognizes that significant changes must be made. This has already been reflected in the less cluttered look of its six new-format stores. Laura Ashley is trying to shift away from the floral clothing with which it has traditionally been associated.
