About Ted

In our ongoing efforts to raise awareness about testicular and prostate cancer, Ted will be supporting Everyman’s campaign against male cancer by donating 5% of both the in store and online sales from our men’s underwear. As well as this we’ll be selling pin badges, joining Everyman’s Turn Blue Campaign throughout June and holding a competition with a £500 shopping spree up for grabs.

Turn Blue Day is to be held on 17^th June this year, so keep your eyes peeled for more information about what’s going on and how you can help Ted raise awareness about this worthy cause.

Last week’s Grand Opening launch event  at our El Corte Ingles concessions  in Spain and Portugal was a great success. Last Thursday, our specially invited customers came in their hundreds to celebrate the arrival of Ted in store. The S/S11 collection was admired, toasts were made and happy customers left with their purchases and complimentary gifts. Check out more photos of the event here.

To all our happy shoppers across the pond Ted has decided to start his summer sale in the US today. We have up to 50% off across menswear, womenswear, footwear and accessories.

Some of our hot picks are PICKEL, a fitted dress with a wrap over front which is now $117 and AMHURST, an oxford shirt for men with a checked trim which is now $108.

Head over to Ted Baker’s website and view the sale online or take a trip to your nearest store.

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.

Simply click here to see the windows competing for the coveted crown and remember to vote for Ted!

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.

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!

The Great Escape came to a spectacular conclusion on Saturday with exciting performances from Malpas, Dry the River, Antlers, Okkervil River, Yuck, The Vaccines and Sufjan Stevens to name but a few.

Dressed Ted to toe, Alana Stewart gave the lucky crowd gathered at Ted’s Brighton store an intimate performance. A million miles from her New York subway busking days, she delighted the audience with soon-to-be hits from EP ‘The Misuse of Chemistry’.

Over on the Ted and hmv’s Next Big Thing stage, Malpas got the venue rocking with a synth spectacular worthy of Depeche Mode. Dry the River’s blend of Americana rock followed, performing favourites such as ‘Bible Belt’ and ‘New Ceremony’ which brought the crowd to the brink of lighter waving end to the set.

Indie rockers, The Antlers, came on next and were reminiscent of Arcade Fire with their melancholy anthems. While Okkervil River proved a worthy final act as they tore up the Ted & hmv stage – metaphorically! They played songs from new album ‘I Am Very Far’, before the Vice team took over with a selection of bands and DJs that had the crowd dancing into the small hours.

Ted’s festival highlights include Saturday’s headliner Sufjan Stevens, who packed out the Dome and played an almighty set to his fans. The Guillemots were on fine form as they delivered a street gig next to the Ted photobooth in the festival hub. The Vaccines sent the Corn Exchange into a frenzy with songs from their new album, ‘What Did You Expect from the Vaccines’. And to top it all, the sun was shining for the entire weekend!

Lucky delegate pass winner, Josh Renault, had an amazing time discovering new favourites Lanterns on the Lake, The Staves, Trevor Moss and Hannah Lou, while renewing his love for James VMcM and the Guillemots.

Ted’s photobooth definitely saw the most action over the weekend, with hundreds of festival goers passing through to get a memento of the weekend. See if you can spot yourself in any of the photos http://on.fb.me/iwDfXZ.
