We recently shared how Asda has launched its first-ever stand-alone George store, and it could be rolled out across the UK if it's a hit.
Kat Farmers new George at Asda Collection
The debut site opened on Saturday, May 10 in Leeds, taking over the old Asda Living at Crown Point Retail Park.
The slick new store is packed with head-turning fashion, stylish homeware, must-have toys and baby bits – plus a fresh café to fuel your spree.
There are 30
Fashionistas can bag the Spring/Summer 2025 collection fronted by supermodel Yasmin Le Bon, plus new celeb collabs – including a chic kidswear range by Erica Davies and a sunshine-filled drop from Billie Faiers.
And it's not just the clothes getting a makeover – the whole experience is sleeker, quicker and easier, with speedy self-checkouts, faster queues and slick Click & Collect.
Shoppers will also be able to pop into the brand-new Kitchen café, where staffers are dishing up hot meals, cold bites and stone-baked pizzas.
Is supermarket fashion the new high street?
DEPUTY Fashion Editor Abby McHale weighs in:
The supermarkets have really upped their game when it comes to their fashion lines. These days, as you head in to do your weekly food shop you can also pick up a selection of purse-friendly, stylish pieces for all the family.
Tesco has just announced a 0.7 per cent increase in the quarter thanks to a 'strong growth in clothing' and M&S has earnt the title of the number one destination for womenswear on the high street.
Asda's clothing line George has made £1.5 million for the supermarket in 2023, 80 per cent of Sainsbury's clothes sold at full price rather than discounted and Nutmeg at Morrisons sales are also up 2 per cent in the past year.
So what is it about supermarket fashion that is becoming so successful?
Apart from the clothing actually being affordable, it's good quality too - with many being part of schemes such as the Better Cotton Initiative.
A lot of the time they keep to classic pieces that they know will last the customer year after year.
Plus because they buy so much stock they can turn around pieces quickly and buy for cheaper because of the volumes.
Liz Evans, Asda's Chief Commercial Officer for George and Retail, said: 'Our Asda Living stores have been a huge success – but as shopping habits change, we want to make it even easier for customers to enjoy quality, style and value with George at the heart of it."
The George label launched in 1989 when fashion guru George Davies teamed up with Asda to make the UK's first-ever supermarket clothing brand.
By 2004, it was the nation's biggest clothing retailer, and Asda launched its first Living store to expand into homeware.

I tried viral shave butter, my legs have never been smoother – I'll never go back to foam

EVERY girl knows that shaving is one of the most tiresome beauty chores. When it comes to summertime you want to wear short skirts and vest tops. Advertisement 2 The shave butter is now on sale in Superdrug 2 It's goes on like silk And for many, getting the pins out means hacking away at the winter fuzz. I'm a dark-haired lass which means I don't have the luxury of just leaving it be. Usually I opt for waxing, as it lasts longer and gets a smoother result. However, it costs a fortune - and I find it really hard to fit in appointments around work . Advertisement READ MORE IN FABULOUS But the team at Superdrug recently urged me to try one of their new, viral products, Mallows Shave Butter. The beauty innovation is the brainchild of Laura Mallows, a Cardiff-born entrepreneur who has a background in working for skincare firms. Fed up with not having her ideas taken seriously, she started up her own firm and quickly gathered steam on social media with her bright, fun and super smelling line. Now, just six years after starting up, she's being stocked in Superdrug, and was recently in Glasgow as part of the store's Beauty Playground launch. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous And one of her top sellers is Shave Butter. It really does look and smell good enough to eat. I tried the 'I'm a Mallows Girl' option, packed with nourishing shea butter and grapeseed oil to help banish painful razor rash - something I often suffer from. Inside Superdrug's beauty playground in Glasgow store - even Gen Alpha will love it It's suggested you exfoliate the skin first, which I did, before wetting your legs and lathering up with the butter. It goes on like silk and the razor just glides over your legs. Advertisement I was actually stunned by how close a shave I got and how smooth my legs felt afterwards. Usually my legs are spiky a couple of hours after shaving - but 24 hours on and they're still softer than a baby's backside. It's £14.95 for a tub but it really does go a long way - and is still a fraction of the price of a waxing appointment. A good deal all round! Advertisement
