May 2011

May 10th saw Ted Baker take part in the RIBA and RSA Regent Street Windows Project. Ted Baker collaborated with The Office for Subversive Architecture (OSA) to create a bespoke installation at its Regent Street store.

To celebrate this collaboration the store threw a weekend long party with Ted’s bus conductor, in store lucky dip, exciting competition with the London Transport Museum and music from the talented Marques Toliver.

Ted’s keen camera was there to capture the fun…

As we mentioned earlier this week, Ted’s summer shopping event is today. Shoppers can enjoy a 20% privilege rate all day in participating UK & EU stores and online.* Sign up here.

In celebration of the Chelsea Flower Show, Ted’s Kings Road store is in a floral frenzy.

As part of the Duke of York Square’s  ‘Chelsea In Bloom’ – which sees Chelsea retailers compete for best window display – Ted has developed a bespoke window for the occasion with an oriental twist.

Inspired by this year’s Oriental Chic theme, Ted’s creative team hand made origami flowers before photographing each one from a number of different angles. These were then arranged into a stunning oriental blossom tree incorporating prints from our latest spring summer collections.

Believing strongly in quality, we here at Ted Baker only choose the finest of fabrics for all of the products in our suiting collections. And for Irmas, a sleek three-piece suit, only the best quality Italian wool would do.

Finished in a timeless Birdseye weave – a tiny diamond shaped weave, slightly smaller than Dogtooth – this luxury suit is ideal for dashing gents heading to Royal Ascot next month.

This Thursday Ted will be hosting his summer shopping event, customers are offered a 20% discount & complimentary drinks in store as well as local in-store treats. The event is on all day in participating standalone stores in the UK, Dublin & Paris, as well as online until midnight. Register and read more details, including terms and conditions here.

For this week only all our customers in the US and in Canada can treat themselves to free standard delivery on all orders until 29th May 2011.

Last week our UK customers enjoyed free standard delivery and we thought it was only fair to do the same for our friends on the other side of the pond.

Stripes are something that’ll never go out of fashion, so you should be blown away by Kitey, our new striped knitted dress.

Ideal for an unpredictable spring summer, yet something you’ll still be wearing come autumn; this figure-hugging style features understated greys with a pop of pink, as well as pleat and panel detailing finishing its rather impactful look.

This weekend Ted’s Regent Street store celebrated the unveiling of it’s RIBA designed window. Passers by were invited into store by Ted’s Bus Conductor where they had the chance to rummage in the lucky dip suitcase as well as enter an exclusive competition with the London Transport Museum to win two season tickets for the museum, and a moquette cube using their own choice of real London Transport Bus or Tube upholstery.

Sunday saw a fantastic performance by Ted’s BUSker, soulful violinist Marques Toliver, who performed to a growing crowd of shoppers eager to have a dip in Ted’s suitcase!

To update your summer wedding wardrobe, look no further than Tomars. This rather dapper shirt is one of the latest from Ted’s Pashion collection and its unique floral print will certainly allow you to stand out in any congregation – without upstaging the happy couple of course!

Available in both blue and pink and coming with cufflinks included, try it under our classic sharp suit, Kier, for contemporary yet effortless cool.
