Topshop comes to America

Not a great surprise but I'm sure our American friends will be over the moon. Following the success of Kate Moss' Topshop range which launched in Barneys last week, Philip Green is now planning to launch three Topshop stores in New York. No word on exactly when the stores will open but according to Green: "realistically nine months is the time horizon to get a a store sorted and opened." He also revealed that they were looking at sites for the stores this week with plans to take up a total space of 150,000 square feet across Manhattan. With sales of the Moss brand doing well, more stock is set to be shipped to Barneys. "We are currently hoping to ship more merchandise to the States next week. Barney's is looking for more merchandise - they are chasing for more product," said Green. [source]

Speaking of Kate Moss for Top Shop, does anyone have any idea if the blue suit that Kate Moss wore in the April 2007 UK edition of Vogue is infact Topshop and where I might still be able to find one?!

I just can't believe how Topshop has grown so much! Don't get me wrong though I love it!! Justa question, does anyone remember when River Island used to do those horrible carrier bags with scary cats on them?!! How time changes!!

It's clever. We can't stop American political dominance so we hit them where it hurts: retail. Nothing bolsters national debt more than clothing-induced credit card charges. Those girls won't know what's hit em!

I can't help feeling a little hurt. It's like giving away a national institution. What's next?; selling Hollyoaks to Oxygen?
