History
Phase Eight was first established by Patsy Seddon in London in 1979 in a small boutique in Wandsworth Common.[1] The name originated from a combination of P. Hayes, Patsy's maiden name, and the address of the first shop, 8 Bellevue Road.[2] The retailer provides women's clothing designed in house, including Bridalwear and accessories.[3]
Phase Eight was purchased by the South African retailer Foschini Group in 2015.[4]
