TK Maxx new fashion department MOD BOX

Mod Box, TK maxx's new fashion department is where you’ll find brands with attitude and the key trends of the month.

Mod Box is geared towards the younger market and its aim is to keep ahead with the latest must have styles. They have worked out a fast paced fashion calendar of trends from all over the world to keep their stock fresh and ever changing which will keep the most ardent of fashionistas happy and coming back for more.

So for the month of August you'll find the following trends in Mod Boxx:

VARSITY - carrying from July, you'll find lots of pleated checked miniskirts and preppy cardigans/ jumpers teamed with knee high socks and crisp white blouses. This preppy style comes with matching low preppy student prices.






MILITARY - army greens, khaki, airforce blues, blacks and greys. There will embellishments galore with shoulder epaulettes, double breasted brass buttons and braiding. The aviator jacket will make an appearance, flying high in the hottest trend stakes but with an extremely low price flying under the radar at £29.99.







BIG CHILL - winter woollies in retro Fair Isle prints, jewel tones and warm browns. The knitwear range will include sweater dresses, cardigans, waistcoats, jackets and leggings. It’s all about layering. This trend will also carry on in to September so you can stock up for the winter months.

New TKMaxx Flagship Store at Charing Cross Road, London

TKMaxx's new flagship store has opened at 120 Charing Cross Road, London.

The VIP preview night saw the staff dancing away on small podiums whilst modelling the clothes. Some near the windows had the passer bys looking bewildered or amused as they watched the dancing from the outside.

Champagne flowed as we were allowed to roam around and try the new stock. The first floor was the womenswear (handy for the champagne and canopies)
New fashion department Mod Box took a third of the space with their hot trend of the month “Varsity”.

Gold Label (expensive designer gear even with the TKMaxx discount) took a double rail. Saw a fantastic Jill Sander black jacket, but alas had to put it back when I saw the bargain price of £299.


The first floor was dedicated to shoes, handbags, lingerie, beauty products and kiddies wear. To get over the shock of picking up a £450 Mui Mui handbag (why am I attracted to the most expensive??), I sat down whilst the pamper girls gave me a mini manicure and make-up.

Feeling refreshed and with a new glass of champagne I climbed up to the top floor to find the men's section ranging from shoes, accessories,sports tees to smart suits.


Finally surfacing from all the rummaging around, I spied a few celebrities - Julie Peasgood (a regular on the Alan Titchmarsh show) in the beauty section and Zandra Rhodes queueing at the till point.
