The top brands in the town...


TOPSHOP
HISTORY
Since it launched in 1964, Topshop has become a major style authority and one of fashion’s biggest success stories. Capturing the zeitgeist every season, its brave and irreverent approach to style has captured the imaginations of fashion-conscious shoppers and industry insiders alike.

With around 300 stores in the UK, and over 100 in international territories - including our US flagship in New York - Topshop’s triumph has been all the more remarkable considering its humble beginnings. Topshop began in the basement of Peter Robinson department store in 1964 and less than a decade later became a stand-alone retailer. In 1994, the iconic Topshop flagship was born, as the brand took over the entire 90,000 sq ft space at London Oxford Circus. It remains there today, and is considered the world’s largest fashion store on the high street, attracting over 200,000 shoppers each week.

Part of the long-standing retail force the Arcadia Group, it is Topshop’s individuality that has earned it worldwide respect. A staunch supporter of young British design talent, it has sponsored the globally recognised New Gen scheme since 2002, which has bolstered the careers of fashion heavy-weights such as Christopher Kane, Jonathan Saunders, Marios Schwab and Louise Goldin.

As an early pioneer of high street and designer collaborations, Topshop’s partnerships with some of history’s most iconic fashion names such as Celia Birtwell and Kate Moss, have further cemented the brand’s reputation as a fashion leader.

In 2005, Topshop showed its own in-house designed collection, Unique, as part of the official London Fashion Week schedule. The only high street brand to show on schedule, Unique’s fun and irreverent approach to style has made it a first choice for those who like to stay ahead.

Since 2000, Topshop’s covetable collections have also been available beyond the high street thanks to the award winning topshop.com, which now ships to over 30 international destinations and offers customers in the United States the opportunity to shop in US currency and sizes on the dedicated site, us.topshop.com. Updated 5 times a week with over 300 new styles, Topshop.com is the ultimate fashion fix! Find out How to Topshop here.
With an attitude that is accessible to all and a bold product range, Topshop has won a legion of loyal fans and has cemented its place on the international style map.

TOPMAN

HISTORY
Topman has earned its sartorial stripes with an unswerving and energetic approach to producing truly exciting high-street men's fashion. Driving trends forward while shifting the way men approach shopping, the brand's attitude to creating brilliant, affordable and authoritative menswear is second to none.
Born in 1978, Topman is the male equivalent of successful Arcadia stable-mate: Topshop. With a whopping 185 stores in the UK, almost every high street in the country boasts its very own slice of Topman. London's mega Oxford Circus Flagship - one of 8 chief stores in the major cities through the UK - sees 75,000 pairs of feet storm its 15,000 square foot floor every week.
The rest of the globe is catching up too. Here's the maths: there are Topman stores in over sixty cities worldwide, stretching across twenty countries while boutiques in America, China and Japan stock the brand. As one might suspect, its fashion forwardness continues into cyberspace with transactional website Topman.com seeing over 160,000 unique visits a week, with current shipping to the UK, Eire, Europe, USA and Australia.
In Gulf countries TOPMAN/TOPSHOP is franchised to M.H.Alshaya Co.W.L.L. ( www.alshaya.com )
