J.Lindeberg to launch first women's fashion collection next year, teaser campaign begins
The 30-year-old label said it's 'a key step in the brand's continued evolution into a lifestyle brand'.
Since 1996, J.Lindeberg has bridged the worlds of sport and fashion via its golf, ski and tennis clothing and already has a foundation in womenswear through high-performance collections for those specific sports. And it said the new RTW line 'builds on that momentum, offering a sharp, versatile wardrobe designed for modern lives in constant motion'.
We're told the collection reflects its Scandi roots 'while looking outward with a progressive, global mindset. It speaks to individuals with high expectations, who lead active lives and expect their clothes to reflect that drive. Each piece is made to support dynamic routines, from city streets and creative spaces to the clubhouse, mountains and beyond'.
Despite not launching globally for another six months, 'to build early momentum, J.Lindeberg is teasing the collection through key global profiles, such as model Georgia Fowler, Desiré Inglander, Gabrielle Richardson and Stella Xu – offering an early glimpse of standout styles in real lifestyle settings across core markets'. The full campaign will roll out closer to launch.
The news comes in a year when the brand is heavily focused on global expansion. Back in April it opened its largest flagship store to date in Seoul, South Korea. Spanning five floors in the Gangnam district, the new space was a significant step in the brand's expansion to the Asian market with South Korea one of the fastest-growing markets for both sports and fashion, 'making it a strategic location for J.Lindeberg's latest retail investment'.

India-UK trade deal signals Modi's priorities as New Delhi eyes EU, US pacts
India's trade deal with Britain is a sign of New Delhi's new gradual shift to opening up its markets while shielding crucial sectors from competition and could be its template for future agreements, government officials and analysts said on Friday. Signed on Thursday and hailed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi as "a blueprint for our shared prosperity", the deal with the UK represents India's biggest ever strategic partnership with an advanced economy. It comes at a time rising global trade tensions and at a pivotal moment for India's historically protectionist trade strategy, as the Asian giant looks to strike similar deals with partners including the EU, U.S., and New Zealand. Under the pact, India notably agreed to cut tariffs on imported British vehicles, opening up competition for a domestic industry that makes up nearly 7% of the Indian economy. "This is a policy shift, especially as India has long used high tariffs to protect domestic manufacturers," Ajay Srivastava, founder of Global Trade Research Initiative and a former Indian trade negotiator, told Reuters. The easing of its protectionist stance also applies to government procurement and pharmaceuticals and will likely be replicated in deals with Brussels and Washington, he added. But it remains a cautious shift. The calibrated strategy aims to leverage trade for economic growth, the official said, but the government will continue to shield millions of Indians dependent upon subsistence farming and low-margin work. Indian exporters will benefit from zero tariffs on goods including textiles, footwear, gems, furniture, auto parts, machinery, and chemicals. "With zero tariffs, India's garment exports to the UK could double in three years," said N. Thirukkumaran, general secretary of the Tiruppur Exporters Association. "This also paves the way for the EU agreement, which could bring even bigger gains." But the strategy could face a major test in negotiations with US President Donald Trump's administration, which has used the threat of steep tariffs to pressure trading partners into making concessions. Trade Minister Piyush Goyal told Reuters on Thursday that India is also hopeful of reaching a trade agreement with Washington that includes "special and preferred treatment".

Asian markets turn lower as trade war rally fades
With Japan's trade deal with Washington out of the way for now, attention was also turning to European Union attempts to reach an agreement to pare down Donald Trump's threatened tariffs before next Friday's deadline. Equities have enjoyed a strong run-up for much of July on expectations governments will hammer out pacts, pushing some markets past or close to record highs. However, while Wall Street hit new records Thursday -- S&P 500 chalked up its 10th in 19 sessions -- another round of strong jobs data suggested the Federal Reserve might have to wait longer than hoped to cut borrowing costs. The 217,000 initial claims for unemployment benefits in the week to July 19 was the lowest since mid-April and suggested the labour market remains tight. The figures followed forecast-topping non-farm payrolls in June and come as inflation shows signs of picking up as Trump's tariffs begin to bite. Traders are now betting on 42 basis points of rate cuts by the end of the year, according to Bloomberg News. That's down from more than 50 previously. Meanwhile, a manufacturing survey showed US business confidence deteriorated in July for the second successive month, with companies worried about tariffs and cuts to federal spending. Trump continued to press Fed chief Jerome Powell to slash interest rates during a visit to its headquarters on Thursday, where they bickered over its renovation cost. The president, who wants to oust Powell over his refusal to cut, took a fresh dig during the trip, telling reporters: "As good as we're doing, we'd do better if we had lower interest rates." Trump's anger at the Fed and his calls for officials to lower rates has raised concerns about the independence of the central bank. "While unlikely to yield anything concrete, the optics of a president storming the temple of monetary orthodoxy is enough to put Powell watchers on edge," said SPI Asset Management's Stephen Innes. "The risk isn't immediate policy change -- it's longer-term erosion of independence, and the signal that Powell may not be sitting as comfortably as markets assume." Trade hopes remain elevated, with Brussels and Washington appearing close to a deal that would halve Trump's threatened 30 percent levy, with a European Commission spokesman saying he believed an agreement was "within reach". The bloc, however, is still forging ahead with contingency plans in case talks fail, with member states approving a 93-billion-euro ($109-billion) package of counter-tariffs. With few positive catalysts to drive buying, Asian markets turned lower heading into the weekend. Tokyo dipped after putting on around five percent in the previous two days, while Hong Kong retreated following five days of gains. There were also losses in Shanghai, Sydney, Singapore, Manila and Jakarta. Seoul and Wellington edged up. The dollar extended gains against its peers as investors pared their rate forecasts. Key figures at around 0230 GMT Tokyo - Nikkei 225: DOWN 0.6 percent at 41,570.24 (break) Hong Kong - Hang Seng Index: DOWN 0.7 percent at 25,487.95 Shanghai - Composite: DOWN 0.2 percent at 3,597.77 Dollar/yen: UP at 147.40 yen from 146.94 yen on Thursday Euro/dollar: DOWN at $1.1742 from $1.1756 Pound/dollar: DOWN at $1.3498 from $1.3507 Euro/pound: DOWN at 86.99 pence from 87.01 pence
