Your Kent Wedding - September/October 2024 (Issue 116)

DRESSED TO IMPRESS The Moss store at Upper Rose Gallery in the Bluewater Shopping & Leisure destination in Kent has undergone a rebranding. Moss has decades of tailoring know-how and a history of innovating to meet the changing needs of the menswear customer. In line with its new direction, everything is stripped back to show off the product in a simplified way. The brand recently changed its name, dropping ‘Bros’ from its moniker of old to just Moss. The move reflects the modern, more diverse, digital, omni-channel retailer Moss is today without losing its heritage. Brian Brick, the CEO at Moss, added: “This store is a celebration of everything Moss stands for today: modernity, diversity and accessibility. We’ve leaned into our 173 years of expertise to land our most modern tailoring offer yet, alongside a range of premium casual styles, to form a really considered collection. We’re not just a suit brand that sells some casualwear or vice versa; Moss has transformed into a competitive menswear destination for both occasions and daily wardrobes, and we’re hugely excited to showcase this to customers in our largest store to date.” Find out more at www.moss.co.uk MOMENTS THAT MATTER Simply Ceremonies, an award-winning celebrant team based in Kent, will be exhibiting at Lympne Castle on 15th September 2024 and at the Kent Cricket Ground on the 5th and 6th October 2024.
