About TOPSHOP TOPMAN

TOPSHOP
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, it exemplifies up to the minute affordable style, while its brave and irreverent approach has endeared fashion-conscious shoppers and industry insiders alike.

With 300 stores in the UK and over 100 in growing international territories, Topshop's triumph has been all the more remarkable considering its humble beginning. Now part of the long-standing retail force Arcadia Group, Topshop began in the basement of Peter Robinson, a department store in the north of England, in 1964. Less than a decade later Topshop became a stand-alone retailer. In 1994 the brand took over the entire 90,000 square foot space becoming the iconic Topshop flagship store, attracting over 200,000 shoppers each week.

In 2005, Topshop showed its own acclaimed in-house designed collection Unique as part of the official London Fashion Week schedule, which subsequently forged exclusive partnerships with international boutiques as far flung as Tokoyo and LA. An early pioneer of high street/ designer collaborations, 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 fashion leader and trendsetter. These covetable collections are available beyond the high street thanks to the award winning TOPSHOP.COM, which delivers to countries around the globe. And as the brand has grown, it has continued to innovate with exciting in-store activities and services, picking numerous accolades on the way - most recently a Time Out award for Best High Street Store and In Style magazine's Shopping Award for Best High Street Shop.

TOPMAN
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.
