Australian fashion brand Alice McCall has gone into voluntary administration as the company wrangled with COVID-19 financial woes.
The designer joins several other retail businesses to enter administration in the past year, including Seafolly , Kikki K, Jeanswest and Bardot. A few of these retailers, including Seafolly and Jeanswest, were lucky to be bought out and saved from collapse.
Ms McCall confirmed the business went into administration on Monday, with Sydney-based insolvency firm SVPartners appointed to handle the process.
This will likely result in the closure of several of the brand's 14 stores across Australia.
Meanwhile, the brand's bricks-and-mortar stores and online shop are still currently trading as normal.
