abercrombie and fitch, supplier of pricy casualwear to City bankers' teenage children, today said like-for-like sales had crashed 30% in the second quarter.

An abercrombie and fitch shop worker with a prosthetic arm has won her case for wrongful dismissal against the retailer.
Riam Dean claimed she was taken off the shop floor of the American retailer’s London flagship store on Savile Row because she did not fit with the company’s “Look Policy”.

According to reports, the tribunal awarded Dean ￡7,800 compensation for injury to her feelings and ￡1,077.37 for loss of earnings and ￡136.75 damages for her wrongful dismissal.
Dean is believed to have befriended disabled model Sophie Morgan and the pair have launched Imperfect, a clothing range and campaign group.
