Phase Eight is a British women's wear clothing brand. The company has stores and concessions in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Switzerland, Germany, Sweden, Australia, UAE, and other countries.
History
[edit]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]

[edit]As of 2014, the retailer had 106 stores and 207 concessions in the UK, and 18 stores and 128 concessions internationally.[5]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
