The retail landscape sees a shift as House of Fraser officially sheds its familiar name, now operating as FRASERS. This rebranding effort coincides with the unveiling of its spring campaign, fronted by television presenter Cat Deeley.

Deeley has curated a 100-piece collection for the brand, marking its inaugural collaboration since entering this new phase. The edit, launched on March 9th, is described as a blend of "premium minimalism with effortless, everyday style," aiming for both casual and formal wear. Some items from this collection are reportedly still available.

The choice of Deeley is framed by the company as a deliberate move to reflect its evolving strategy. FRASERS aims to position itself as a "modern premium retail destination" and a "one-stop lifestyle destination" encompassing fashion, sport, beauty, and homeware. This rebrand builds upon the heritage of House of Fraser while looking towards the future needs of shoppers.

Deeley herself has expressed a personal connection to the brand, calling the collaboration a "full circle ‘pinch me’ moment." She noted her mother's long-standing patronage of the store when it was House of Fraser. This connection, coupled with what the brand describes as Deeley's "timeless British style and authentic connection to the brand," underpins their partnership.

The curated selection within Deeley's edit features a range of brands including Barbour, Ralph Lauren, Coach, and Tommy Hilfiger, alongside beauty products from Charlotte Tilbury. This indicates FRASERS' continued focus on a mix of premium and contemporary labels across various categories.
The retail group, Frasers Group, has been progressively working towards this repositioning. FRASERS currently operates over ten stores across the UK and Ireland, including notable locations in Dublin, Gateshead, Dundee, and Sheffield. This strategic shift follows the closure of its Central London store in 2023.
