Word in from one of my "stringers-in-the-know" is that UK-based
Topshop is coming to Manhattan this year.
I guess I'd describe it as a British
H&M. I will do a thorough review when it hits town for y'all. Round 'em up, cowgirls!
Wikipedia describes it as:
Topshop is a chain of clothing stores situated (mostly) throughout the
United Kingdom.
Topshop's primary sales come from women's fashion and accessories. Its male-clothing counterpart is called 'Topman'. Topshop offers a range of products including clothing, lingerie, sweets, bracelets, bags, hats, purses, nightwear, swim wear, shoes, jewelery, belts as well as a number of other accessories. Topshop also offers maternity, tall, petite and retro ranges.
The store has a had a number of celebrities and designers designing collections, including
Kate Moss, whose collection will be released in April
2007.
[1] The appointment of Moss was announced just before the departure of CEO
Jane Shepherdson, who was seen as the force behind the revival of the formerly dull brand.
Topshop's flagship store is located in
Oxford Street,
London. Other flagship stores are located in

Glasgow- Buchanan Street Topshop is owned by the
