Angela is wearing an orange top from Next. The plain style stretchy orange t-shirt outfit is enhanced and varied by the addition of a neckline. The circular neck in black and orange was the waist cut from a child's garment. The brand is Reebok. (Made in Cambodia.)
Next Clothing and Lifestyle Company
I looked up Next in Wikipedia and was I surprised! fascinating account. First the company's origin's date back yonks. Secondly, they are worldwide and bigger than Marks & Spencer. Thirdly lots of interesting information about the legality of delivery charges on goods returned within seven days and living wages. The past is the past, nonetheless, extremely interesting.
Brands
Wiki has list of brands with links to the company. Under fitness wear brands I noticed Adidas, Converse, Everlast, Lacoste, Nike, Puma, Reebok, Slazenger, Speedo, Under Armour, and many more.
Next changed their logo from all upper case. that enables you to date photos of shops and shopping centres, at a glance. Although, if you have time, you can cross-check in Wikipedia. They usually give you details of dates photos were taken.
Shoes
I looked everywhere for a pair of orange shoes to match. Eventually I gave up. Then I spotted an orange oval box which matched the colours of my outfit.
I checked inside the box. I found two pairs of orange shoes. I had colour coded them with the box. I never thought to label the box. I thought I would remember. Having forgotten on one occasion, I decided it was time to label the box.
For details of the sculpture see next post.
