well, i meant the first one to affect my clients, which i won't name just in case
but la senza and blacks also filed notice to appoint at the end of last year, plus profits warning for thorntons. i suspect la senza will get bought out pretty quickly.

I thought HMV were on their way out, to be honest.

A lot of their stuff is actually quite tacky

Agent Provocateur's good, I haven't heard of the other two

Rigby & Peller
