A major fashion brand is set to return to the UK seven years after closing its doors. Juicy Couture was once a symbol of casual luxury clothing in the early 2000s, with its infamous velour tracksuits being worn by pretty much any female aged between 16 and 20 – and Britney Spears.

However, just seven years later and it appears that it is ready to takeover the UK once more, with a new store set to open at Westfield Stratford City in London.

And it’s not a small venture either, as the 1,200sq ft space will be will with its “signature casual glamour aesthetic,” a spokesman said.
