    Aussie fashion giant Jeanswest has announced up to 90 stores will close and up to 600 jobs will be axed after its parent company collapsed. 

    Harbour Guidance has appointed administrators at Pitcher Partners Melbourne to restructure the business.

    Jeanswest was previously placed in administration in 2020, but administrators said economic conditions had only got tougher since then. 

    It remains unknown if the brand’s online store will remain open. 

    ‘The owners have done everything they can to keep Jeanswest going, but market conditions mean sustaining bricks-and-mortar stores is not viable and unlikely to improve,’ administrator Lindsay Bainbridge said. 

    ‘They deeply regret the impact of store closures on their team members and their customers, and we will be working now with teams across the country.

    ‘This is a hard day for hundreds of Jeanswest team members and we will be working directly with the team members to provide clarity and information about the next steps,’ he said.

    The shops will now cut prices on all stock in a bid to partially repay their creditors.

    ‘We will be opening the doors of all stores and selling online to clear all stock to secure a return to creditors,’ Mr Bainbridge said.

    Jeanswest had been operating across Australia for more than 50 years, after opening its first store in Perth in 1972.

    In 2017, the owner of Jeanswest claimed Australians were forking out their money for ‘lifestyle spending’ on travel and televisions, rather than buying new clothes.

    He said this lead to ‘lethargic’ and ‘slothful’ retail habits.

    More to come.
