Lulu, M&Co, Fashion Shoot
File: 2016001-0033
On the bank of the River Usk, somewhere in Newport (Casnewydd), Wales (Cymru), United Kingdom, on Friday 29th January 2018.
NOTICE: I have a policy where I never geotag my photos if the shots were taken at or very near the models’ homes, for their safety and privacy.
About this photograph.
This is Lulu, a Welsh model living in Newport, whom I got in contract with through a modelling website, and arranged for a two hours outdoor photo-shoot.
At that time, I was a single parent. I arranged for the ex-wife to pick up the kids from school, and have them for the weekend. So on that day, after I dropped the kids off at school, I grabbed my photographic kit, got in my car, and drove off to Newport.
I met her and her husband at their home in Newport. After a cup of tea, breaking the ice, and stuff like that, we went into Newport city centre for the first stage of the outdoor photo-shoot.
When that was done, we returned back to their street, and the second stage of the outdoor photo-shoot was done near their home.
Here, Lulu is posing in her yellow t-shirt and dark blue jeans tucked into her knee-length boots, she is also wearing a light colour belt and a pearl necklace.
She is also wearing a Size 22 brown coloured M&Co faux fur coat with hood pulled up over her head.
Lulu is posing by leaning on the rails, and looking as if she’s deep in thoughts, thinking about something.
In the background is the Newport Transporter Bridge.
About M&Co.
In 1834, Neil McGeoch started a pawnbroker business, in Paisley, Scotland, and over the many years, the family business expanded to 6 pawnbroker shops.
By 1953, the brothers Len and Iain McGeoch decided to convert the pawnbroker shops into clothing stores, and traded as Mackays Stores Limited. Over the years, they acquired a few other clothing retail business and expanded to approximately at least 140 by 1986, up to 270 by 2005.
In 2005, the company was rebranded as M&Co for a more modern image, and went on to operate over 300 stores, including few overseas and an online store.
The company first specialised in women’s clothes, later expanded to include men’s and children’s clothes.
Sadly due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the early 2020s, the company struggled with business as customers stayed at home, and struggled to keep going.
The company finally went into administration, and it was reported that the branding was bought by the McGeoch family. By spring of 2023, M&Co was closing down.
