Get in line now – Topshop chooses New York location

By Andrea Thatcher on November 1st, 2007

Real estate sources are leaking that British budget fashion phenomenon Topshop will be opening its American flagship at 478 Broadway, located in the Soho district of New York City. This is the current site of popular skate shop Yellow Rat Bastard and a location which Topshop owner Philip Green rejected last year, but apparently he changed his mind. It’s probably a good move because I can’t think of a better neighborhood for Topshop than Soho. Of course we’re hoping they expand all over the city (and country!) but this is a great start.

Fashion News Roundup

woolyhatstyle.jpgThings that make you go hmm…Catwalk Queen informs us that Topshop is now carrying hologram leggings.

Shoewawa reports that Kurt Geiger and Agent Provocateur collaboration is now available online, and that the collection is haute!

The Bag Lady marked it officially woolly hat season with celebrities like Kelly Osbourne and Fearne Cotton sporting cream-colored wool or cashmere winter hats. But I have to say, that at a bar I went to near China Town last weekend, tons of girls were sporting this hat. Now that’s not strange considering it’s mid-October–but it was 75 degrees outside and even hotter in the windowless, underground bar! They just looked like a sweaty mess, so please, wait to wear this until it’s at least cold outside…

More Moss: Simon Doonan dishes on Kate Moss’s Topshop office manner

By Andrea Thatcher on October 15th, 2007

Kate%20Moss%20topshop.jpg In his latest edition of Barneys Babble, Simon Doonan teases us with the knowledge of whether Kate Moss has a corner office or lowly cubicle at the Topshop head office in London. He never gives us the dirt on that question, but says Kate, shown here at the Kate Moss for Topshop Barneys New York launch, is very popular with Topshop employees (gee, go figure) and that she tries on every design for her line herself. Apparently she comes in weekly for meetings and goes on coffee runs for workers, which is nice since they’re probably chained to their desks working on her stuff while she can flit in and out as she pleases.

American customers paying more for Kate Moss Top Shop than UK customers

By Andrea Thatcher on October 12th, 2007

The Daily Mail, a British newspaper, has reported that Barneys is marking up the price of items in Kate Moss’s Topshop collection. Flare jeans that cost £50 ($100) at Topshop cost $158 at Barneys. The Daily Mail predicts American shoppers may begin flying over to the UK for better shopping deals if this trend continues, the way UK shoppers have been hoping over to our side of the pond for years because clothing has traditionally cost less for them in America since the pound is currently stronger than the dollar.

Kate Moss for Topshop new arrivals at Barney’s Co-Op

We get our Topshop fix where we can here in the US, not to mention our Kate Moss fix. Luckily, Barney’s Co-Op supplies both with new Kate Moss for Topshop arrivals in a monochromatic black-white-gray color palette. I’m not quite as excited about these pieces as the original collection, I prefer a bit more color in my wardrobe, but Kate Moss acolytes will surely be pleased. The cropped leather biker jacket, $375, is clearly a standout piece. The scarf top, $55, and deep V dress, $160 are chic staples for any model wannabe.

By Andrea Thatcher on September 6th, 2007

Following the consumer success of Kate Moss’ line for TopShop, the model that entered the stratosphere will design a second collection for the high street shop. Available September 7, 2007, in three hundred stores across the UK and online, this new collection is said to be more professional and braver than her previous one. Moss dares to break away from re-designing her own wardrobe, creating truly unique pieces this time around. The clothing takes inspiration from a range of sources including 1920s flappers, grunge, and Ali McGraw in Love Story. The pieces range in price from £12 to £150.

When Scarlett Johansson strode down the Imitation of Christ runway in spring 2006 in a pair of high-waist, skinny dark jeans hugging her curves, it sent a shock through the fashion industry used to season after season of ultra-low, thong-revealing jeans. Then Kate Moss showed up for a TopShop press conference wearing pale, high-waist, wide-leg denim and everyone wanted to know where she bought—turned out they were vintage Chloé. Now retailers are starting to stock similar pairs. No more endlessly pulling up your pants with these jeans. Try these Chloé look-alike jeans from TopShop (“K Jean,” UK£40) or this pair from Silver Jeans (“Eternity,” US$90).
