TOPSHOP ANNOUNCE OPENING OF FLAGSHIP STORE IN NEW YORK CITY

New York City is waiting in anticipation for the launch of TOPSHOP/TOPMAN’s debut American outlet,
due to open on Broadway April 2nd. US-based fans of the brand will now be able to browse the store’s
high-fashion high-street collections in their very own flagship store, making transatlantic pilgrimages
to the Oxford Circus destination a tale of urban folklore.*

Alongside the mainline collections, American customers will be able to choose from all the key
collaborations currently available in the UK. The latest Kate Moss TOPSHOP collection for SS09 will
launch on 2nd April, to coincide with the New York store launch, and will include four special pieces
featuring prints from the Liberty design archive.

Continuing TOPSHOP’s ongoing support of innovative
British designers, new capsule collections by Preen, Jonathan Saunders and Richard Nicoll will also be
available for the store’s New York-based customers, together with TOPSHOP Unique, the store’s now
famous design-led collection which currently shows on schedule at London Fashion Week. Following
at the end of the month, TOPSHOP will also introduce a new collection by Barbara Hulanicki, which
will feature modern, feminine pieces inspired by Hulanicki’s 1960s BIBA heritage.

At 11.00am on 2nd April the doors will be thrown open for the first time by Sir Philip and Lady Green
and the store’s special guest, Kate Moss.

Once in-store, those who spend $100 or more will receive a free limited edition T-shirt emblazoned
with a Union Jack crown motif, there’ll be a Style Studio on the shop floor serving scones and jam and
helping with customers’ style dilemmas, and customers will be able to enjoy complimentary
pampering from Make Up For Ever, Valley and Woodley & Bunny. As if that wasn’t enough, everyone
will be invited to enter a competition to win an all-expenses-paid trip to London Fashion Week.

Famous for its high level of customer service, TOPSHOP will also be bringing its complimentary Style
Advisor service to New York, providing customers with expert guidance on new trends, TOPSHOP
must-haves and insider knowledge to suit personal styles. Whether it’s a wardrobe update, advice on
the perfect party outfit or simply hassle free shopping, customers can sit back and relax in the VIP
shopping suite while our Style Advisors do all the legwork.

From 11.00am on opening day through to 7.00pm on Saturday, customers and VIP shoppers can enjoy
music provided by the great and good of New York’s nightlife, including The Rapture, Andrew Andrew,
The Misshapes, James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem), The Whip and Late of the Pier.

For those unable to make it to New York, TOPSHOP.com will be offering free shipping for a week from
2nd April. With 300 new products hitting the site each week, editorial features providing fashion
forecasts and styling tips, along with Topshop’s blog Inside-Out reporting on up-to-the-minute news
and events, there’s no need for anyone to miss out.
