Superdry to lift prices despite influencer boost

But Mr Dunkerton's comments came as Superdry reported a return to profit, with trading helped by new clothing ranges and a social media push using influencers.

The company is also looking to draw in younger shoppers with a mix of different products, and Mr Dunkerton said he hoped the brand "is just becoming cool again".
