British women’s online fashion brand Missguided has fallen into administration, a form of protection from creditors, with Teneo Financial Advisory appointed as joint administrators.

Teneo said Missguided will continue to trade whilst a buyer of the business is sought.

"As we continue to see, the retail trading environment in the UK remains extremely challenging," said Teneo's Gavin Maher.

"The joint administrators will now seek to conclude a sale of the business and assets, for which there continues to be a high level of interest from a number of strategic buyers."

Burberry's new CEO Joshua Schulman announced a turnaround strategy for the struggling British luxury brand on Thursday, as sales continued to slide in its second quarter.
Burberry suspended its dividend for 2025 and announced a 40 million pound ($50.73 million) cost savings program. According to Reuters, Schulman said the brand needed to focus back on outerwear and its core customer.
"Today, we are acting with urgency to course correct, stabilize the business and position Burberry for a return to sustainable, profitable growth," Schulman said in a statement.
Sales in Burberry's second quarter ending Sept. 28 fell at the same pace as the first, with revenue for the first half down 20% in constant currency.
