Last week Ted’s London and US stores had an array of complimentary drinks, cupcakes and other giveaways on offer to celebrate Vogue Fashion’s Night Out. There was even the Laurel Collective playing an acoustic set at Ted’s Regent Street store which attracted quite a crowd.

Check out some of the pics. Did any of you pop down?

Last weekend, we were delighted to see the Mail On Sunday’s ‘You’ magazine devote its fashion pages to a showcase of some of our key pieces from our AW10 collection.

Shot on location on the runway of Menorca’s Royal Aero Space, the beautiful photography definitely got us all dreaming of our next weekend getaway…

If you missed them, not to worry – you can still see the images here.

Plus, we’ve also got our hands on some more exclusive, gorgeous shots – they couldn’t be squeezed into the magazine but we’ve made room for them here. Enjoy.

This Wednesday 8th, as part of Vogue Fashion’s Night Out, join us at Ted’s South Molton St and Regent St stores for a shopping night to remember.

From 5pm there’ll be complimentary Bloom gin cocktails, Kirin Ichiban beer, Isklar water and perfume samples all on Ted.

Whilst at 7.30pm at Regent St, Laurel Collective will be taking the stage and playing a live acoustic set – the perfect accompaniment as you browse our AW10 collections. We’ve even got an exclusive free CD giveaway* if you like what you hear. How could you resist?

Try not to be too sad that summer’s almost over – as this means we can finally herald the arrival of our autumn winter 2010 collection online and in store. Hurrah.

At first glance it may appear the epitome of sartorial simplicity, but a closer inspection offers an explosion of playful detailing, exquisite cuts and unwavering attention-to-detail. It all combines together to create a collection that’s Ted Baker through and through.

You can check out our lookbook now and don’t forget to sign up to our newsletter at Ted Baker to receive a weekly email highlighting the latest pieces of the season.

The sight and sound of bees drifting from flower to flower is a quintessential part of a summer’s day. Sadly, bees are very susceptible to a variety of diseases and environmental changes, and recently colonies have been dying out at an alarming rate.

When you consider that over a third of the crops we eat are pollinated by bees, and that they make an annual contribution to our economy of £165 million, Ted knew he had to help the plight of the bumblebee.

By installing 2 beehives on our roof, we hope to give the bee population chance to recuperate, whilst giving wildlife a boost as our bees pollinate local plants.

Our Buckfast bees arrived from a farm in Shropshire a few weeks ago and they immediately settled into their new abode. Our beekeeper comes in once a week to check they’re healthy, happy and of course to collect the honey that’s going down a treat at Tedquarters.

New band, Sunbirds, were championed by Ted Baker at last month’s City Showcase Festival in London. Performing on our Regent Street Store’s revolving shop floor, the quartet overcame dizziness to dazzle our customers with a cracking performance.

Since then, they have been popping up here, there and everywhere. Check out their the glowing review they’ve had over at the Guardian. Looking good James, Ben, Dean and Dennis!
