Jeanswest closes up to 90 stores, risking 600 jobs as parent company faces administration.

Australian fashion retailer Jeanswest is closing up to 90 stores, putting around 600 jobs at risk. The parent company, Harbour Guidance, has entered voluntary administration due to tough market conditions and the cost-of-living crisis. While physical stores will shut down, the online store may continue to operate. The Australian Retailers Association has called for government support, noting the sector's significant economic impact.
