Yeah Topshop finally makes it to the US
I don’t know why I love Topshop so much but I do maybe its the line of clothing that Kate Moss didn’t design, maybe it because I’m English and anything that advances the retaking of the American shores for king and country and all. Seriously though, its a pretty bold move. The dollar is extremely strong against the pound at the moment and doubtless you’ve all noticed that the economy stinks at the moment. Needless to say Topshop will have that shiny new feel to New Yorkers for a while, so they’re not going to lose any money in the first year.

If you’re in New York this week your should head over for the opening, free makeovers and manicures, free Britannia t-shirts and a bunch more have been promised. The new store is at 478 Broadway. I have to wait until next month when I’m back in New York. Kate Moss Hearts Topshop collection will be debuting at the store this collection sold out in London in three minutes apparently.
That market segment is starting to get a little crowded though, H&M, Zara and now Topshop. Rumours abound that we can expect additional stores in LA, and Miami soon, with additional stores in Chicago and San Francisco later in the year for a total of 12 to 15 stores.
On Thursday, April 2nd, TopShop is having a party @ the Box, which is hosted by Sir Philip Greene and Kate Moss with performances by Adele and La Roux, and DJ sets from The Misshapes and James Murphy.
