ASOS have dropped quite significantly in the past week for no particular reason and I view this as the perfect opportunity to invest as I can see them bouncing right back up to the 5.50p mark in the next 2-3 weeks. STRONG BUY!!

Fashion | Brand Alert – Mosson Clothing, Asos Marketplace





As the semester draws to a close, most of us are probably experiencing premature financial panic, and losing sleep over how to make it through to the next loan day. With this in mind, it is always near impossible to resist a bargain – cheap vintage, no less. Though it may not be preserving the already dwindling student fund, we always feel slightly less guilty about splurging on clothes when it’s for the good of a worthy cause.

And what could be more worthy than supporting two of Leeds’ own? Mosson Clothing, a new womenswear boutique now open on Asos Marketplace, is the brainchild of Leeds University students Gerry Chow and Joanna Thompson, and the perfect excuse for a little pre-loan indulgence.

Gerry and Joanna, students of French and English respectively, spent last year living in Montpellier. Whilst on their year abroad, they found that they had a lot of free time, meaning that perusing the world famous Montpellier market became a weekend ritual. Sundays became synonymous with riffling through endless piles of authentic vintage clothing in search of the perfect items. The girls came across several pieces that they loved, but wouldn’t necessarily wear themselves, which is where the idea for Mosson Clothing was born.

Uncovering more hidden gems than they could ever dream of fitting in their own closets, and knowing that bona fide vintage is such a big thing in the UK, especially Leeds, Gerry and Joanna came up with the initial concept. They carefully sifted through and selected each and every piece themselves, opting for lots of striking ethnic and tribal influences, chunky knitwear, and lightweight shirts. Unlike so many popular generic stores found hiding in London’s Soho streets, often passing off reworked highstreet clothing as overpriced ‘vintage’, their clothes are all unique, second-hand pieces from the 80s and 90s.

Aside from weekly visits to the market becoming their staple French pastime, Gerry, who wants to go into Fashion Buying, said that it was the most enjoyable way of keeping busy whilst away from Leeds for a year, being proactive and learning a bit about the fashion business in the process. They learnt the craft of selecting pieces, branding, marketing and pricing. With their uni friends in mind, prices are student-friendly ranging from £8-£17. Managing to break the monotonous cycle of university, turning a profit, whilst spending a year in the south of France? Win-win.

Mosson Clothing is currently available exclusively online on Asos Marketplace, at https://marketplace.asos.com/seller/mossonclothing. Be sure to check the site regularly, as stock is constantly updated. Alternatively, seek out Gerry or Joanna on campus to make a purchase!

weather scares people so im on a boat and bit of fishing,maybe a whale is here too

this whale could be big :)

and this mobile internet is phenomenal stuff too

With a bit of luck the whale will sink your boat and drown you, just like Moby Dick.... Maybe its time for you to wake up though, put your toys away and get out of the bath..!

Interim Results

Highlights

· Retail sales up 34% (UK retail sales up 32%, international retail sales up 35%)
· 8.2 million active customers at 28 February 2014, up 36% on prior year
· Retail gross margin up 60bps
· Accelerated investment in IT and warehousing; full year capex of £68m
· Profit before tax of £20.1m (2013: £25.7m)

These results while focusing on heavy investment and transformation are fenomenal to me.

Looking at price action there is still good amount of limit sell orders left in the market, lets see if we can exhaust them before they exhaust us.

time to take a little risk for me at 4980, nice stop in place. exciting to be that low.for now...:)

Best be a wide stop!

any asses for asos?
going cheap, cheap, cheap at 4930 ..... or was that a budgerigar i heard?

Tomasz - I hope you closed.

WOW i though last night this one would get clobbered more than the average.

Yep.Ofcourse man, i had tight 40 points stop, no point got wider here.got rinsed friday already:-).i bet that swoosh run 48s stops, anyway a wonder if this is that order selling from friday 28 february , a buy chunk of 2.8mil at 6950s..?must be steel balls if still holding....

bit daft having a 40 pt stop on this one as it moved much more than that in a blink ..... still, what would one expect

now 4685, yet some were still telling us that the stock was cheap at 7000

Yeah well, whilst can never be totally sure with this stock, further downside appeared more likely than any rise. Shame the resident expert chose to attack the poster rather than listening to the poster! Not that I fell smug, oh no.

well, I see no value in any of posters here excluding maybe couple of singles, in a sense of sympathy rather.period.all being wrong ridiculously too many times that I downgraded it to speculating moronisms.the meaningless.not that I planned, just time prove it itself.

anyway 4685 is important factor for now as converge with 4710 and surrounding 38.2 retracement.

I'm wondering if old tomato is still holding long.....
