Select Fashion update as 48 stores to be SAVED by mystery company
A MYSTERY business is set to save up to 48 Select Fashion stores, The Sun can reveal.
It comes just days after The Sun revealed the struggling high street fashion brand is on the edge of going bust, drafting in advisers from Moorfields to oversee a liquidation of the business.

Select operates around 83 stores across the UK, with 35 shut down earlier this month.
The remaining 48 stores are set to close on Friday March 28.
But new documents can reveal that Essence Fashion Limited has entered into a licence trade agreement with Select Fashion.
A directors report, seen by The Sun, details how the troubled company entered into a licence to trade with Essence on 28 February 2025.
It read: “The licence grants Essence permission to operate and maintain the Company’s business for a period of six months and an option to acquire the goodwill and assets of the Company based on the open market valuation of the assets.”
This means the business has permission to use Select Fashion name and other assets, such as property.
Little is known about the firm but filings on Companies House show the firm was created back in February 2024.
Select and Essence also have the same director and shareholder, Emre Gonc.
The Sun has approached Moorfields and Select Fashion.
It could mean hundreds of jobs are saved as the 48 stores could remain open and trading as normal.
At its peak, the chain which has been on the high street for nearly four decades, had a total of 169 stores.
Select Fashion had been quietly slashing its store estate since January, with a number of the nearly-three dozen stores marked for closure having already shut.
This is also not the first time the Select Fashion brand has changed hands.
Select fell into administration in 2019, but was later bought out of administration by Genus UK Limited.
The firm is owned by Turkish entrepreneur Cafer Mahiroğlu.
TROUBLE ON THE HIGH STREET
Soaring inflation in recent years has also dented shoppers’ pockets.
The Centre for Retail Research’s latest analysis suggests 13,479 stores, the equivalent of 37 each day, shut for good in 2024.
Of those, 11,341 were independent shops while 2,138 were shut by larger retailers.
The data also showed over half the stores that closed last year were shut due to the store or retailer going through insolvency proceedings.
This is when formal measures are taken to deal with tackling a business‘s debt.
Retailers are also shutting stores in 2025.
New Look is ramping up a store closure programme ahead of April’s National Insurance hike.
Approximately a quarter of the retailer’s 364 stores are at risk when their leases expire.
This equates to about 91 stores, with a significant impact on its 8,000-strong workforce.
The company has restructured its store estate twice in the past six years, reducing its portfolio from around 600 UK stores in 2018.
It also closed all of its 26 stores across Ireland, marking the end of a two decade tenure in the country.
RETAIL PAIN IN 2025
The British Retail Consortium has predicted that the Treasury's hike to employer NICs will cost the retail sector £2.3billion.
Research by the British Chambers of Commerce shows that more than half of companies plan to raise prices by early April.
A survey of more than 4,800 firms found that 55% expect prices to increase in the next three months, up from 39% in a similar poll conducted in the latter half of 2024.
Three-quarters of companies cited the cost of employing people as their primary financial pressure.
The Centre for Retail Research (CRR) has also warned that around 17,350 retail sites are expected to shut down this year.
It comes on the back of a tough 2024 when 13,000 shops closed their doors for good, already a 28% increase on the previous year.
Professor Joshua Bamfield, director of the CRR said: “The results for 2024 show that although the outcomes for store closures overall were not as poor as in either 2020 or 2022, they are still disconcerting, with worse set to come in 2025.”
Professor Bamfield has also warned of a bleak outlook for 2025, predicting that as many as 202,000 jobs could be lost in the sector.
“By increasing both the costs of running stores and the costs on each consumer’s household it is highly likely that we will see retail job losses eclipse the height of the pandemic in 2020.”

Jessica Simpson sparks romance rumors as she leaves flirty comments on Jeremy Renner’s thirst trap pics
JESSICA Simpson has sparked romance rumors with Jeremy Renner after several flirty exchanges on social media.
Jessica recently split from her husband Eric Johnson, and now the singing sensation, 44, has reacted to Jeremy’s thirst trap in a sultry way.



Two weeks ago, the hunky actor, 54, shared a shirtless workout video where he could be seen exercising in the gym and showing off his toned physique.
After watching the reel, Jessica commented with a flame emoji, with Jeremy quick to like her comment.
Then, over the weekend, Jessica shared a post on Instagram about her new album, with Jeremy quick to publicly support her.
On March 21, Jessica gushed about her new album, saying how it is “the result of learning to hear my heart again, free from industry expectations”.




She added: “It’s about surrendering, letting my voice be my main guide, and trusting the journey ahead.”
Jeremy commented on the post with a flame emoji and three clapping hands emojis.
He also added: “Congrats Jess !!!”
Then, a couple of days later, Jeremy shared another shirtless workout post as he exercised with his mom in the gym.
“Sunday session with my mama…. Rehab, recovery,” he penned in the caption, before expressing how proud he is of his mom.
REIGNITING ROMANCE RUMORS
“SHES ALL I GOT… so I’m trying to keep her as long as possible My sweet blessing,” he concluded the caption.
Jessica was quick to comment, writing: “I love this oh my…Mama is STRONG…I need to go do sit ups now,” complete with a laughing emoji.
This comes 15 years after Jessica and Jeremy were embroiled in rumors and speculation that they might be dating.
In March 2010, rumors swirled that the pair were dating after they were spotted together at a party.
Reports claimed that the pair exchanged numbers.
Lyrics to Leave by Jessica Simpson

Jessica Simpson has let rip at her ex in new scathing song lyrics from her new single Leave.
What we had was magic
Now you’ve made it tragic
Giving her what you gave to me
Now the well that you drank forms empty
Your weakness made me lonely
Unholy matrimony
Did you do to her what you did to me
Was she on her knees
Oh oh oh
She’s everything but me
Oh I
I want you to leave
I don’t even wanna breathe the air you breathe
Oh I
I’d rather die
Then let you be inside me with her on your mind
I am stronger on my own
So hold on
I’m letting you go
How’d this even happen
I can just imagine
I wanna know then again I don’t
She get you off dressing up in my clothes
Don’t say you love me
Don’t even try to touch me
If you were me you’d fall to pieces
I make heartbreak look damn easy
Oh oh oh
We’re not doing this again
Oh I
I want you to leave
I don’t even wanna breathe the air you breathe
Oh I
I’d rather die
Then let you be inside me with her on your mind
I am stronger on my own
So hold on
I’m letting you go
Oh I
I want you to leave
I don’t even wanna breathe the air you breathe
Oh I
I’d rather die
Then let you be inside me with her on your mind
I am stronger on my own
So hold on
I’m letting you go
But all speculation was swiftly denied.

Who is Piper Rockelle and what happened between her, Tiffany Smith and The Squad members?
PIPER Rockelle became a household name when she began posting YouTube videos back in 2016.
Here we take a look at her life and career so far, as well as what went on between members of The Squad and Piper’s mum.

Who is Piper Rockelle?
Piper Rockelle is a YouTuber and social media influencer who was born on August 21, 2007, in Atlanta, Georgia.
She first began posting videos on YouTube — where she has amassed a whopping 12.1 million subscribers as of March 2025 — participating in pranks and challenges.
Piper also has a massive following of 14.4 million on TikTok, where she can be found doing dances and taking part in viral trends.
Outside of social media, Piper has also dabbled in acting and was previously seen portraying the role of Sky in the web series Mani between 2017 and 2018.
When Piper isn’t making content, she often posts about her life and relationships on Instagram to her almost 6million followers.
Her rise to fame was accompanied by the formation of The Squad — a group of young content creators who collaborated on her videos.
However, behind the scenes, allegations of abuse and exploitation emerged, casting a shadow over her success.
What happened between Piper Rockelle, Tiffany Smith and members of The Squad?
A major controversy erupted involving Piper’s mother, Tiffany Smith, and former members of The Squad.
In January 2022, 11 teen content creators filed a lawsuit against Tiffany Smith alleging emotional, verbal, physical and sexual abuse during their time working on Piper’s YouTube channel between 2017 and 2020.
The plaintiffs claimed they were subjected to inappropriate comments, uncomfortable scenarios and an overall toxic environment, allegedly all orchestrated by Smith.
Some allegations included Smith chasing them while shouting obscene phrases, encouraging sexual activities among minors, and offering hemp brownies without their knowledge.
Additionally, the lawsuit accused Smith of sabotaging the individual careers of former Squad members after they left the group.
This included using bots and false reporting to decrease views and revenue on their YouTube channels.

The plaintiffs also stated they were unpaid for their contributions, despite Piper’s channel generating substantial income — up to $625,000 per month.
The legal battle concluded in October 2024, with a settlement of $1.85 million paid by Smith.
While the payment marked the end of the case, it highlighted broader issues in the unregulated world of child influencers.
California has since introduced laws requiring financial protections for child creators on social media platforms.
Who is Piper Rockelle dating?
Over the years, Piper posted a lot of content alongside her former boyfriend, Lev Cameron Khmelev.

The pair reportedly started dating in 2020.
Like Piper, Lev is an internet celebrity who’s also a dancer, actor and businessman.
Piper and Lev reportedly broke up more than three months before her public announcement on YouTube in April 2024.
Later in 2024, Piper got together with Ryan Frye, whom she met while filming a music video on a beach.
However their relationship was short-lived and they broke up in early 2025, but the exact date has not been reported.

As of March 26, 2025, Piper is reportedly single.
