With the weather currently in transition mode, only a denim jacket will do. And with embroidered denim here to stay for another season, of course it makes sense to snap up a floral embroidered denim jacket. There’s no shortage of options available at the moment so the question is whether to invest in a designer piece or play it on the safe side and watch the pennies? Currently reigniting a love affair with fashionistas everywhere, Gucci have offered up their take on the trend with this light blue denim jacket beautifully embellished with a cute bee on the collar and needle point florals while Topshop have gone in the direction of a vintage wash jacket with butterflies and flower detail. Gucci’s asking for a budget busting £1610 while Topshop comes in at a fraction of the price at £65. To splurge or not to splurge? That is the question….

Watch Cara Delevingne’s Christmas ad for Topshop
Tis the season to “oooh and aaah over Christmas campaigns. Romeo Beckham stole our hearts earlier this week, but this time, it’s Cara Delevingne’s turn to wow. Shot in Annabel’s (London’s infamous club) by photographer Alasdair McLellan and styled by Topshop’s creative director Kate Phelan, Cara lets loose in looks from Topshop’s 2014 Holiday collection. If you’re gearing up for the party season and in need of some inspiration, check out the ad in the video below…(we’re just a little in love with the sparkly bunny ears) and stay tuned for our partywear guide.

Read MoreBeyonce launching activewear label with Topshop!
It usually takes something special for us to even crack a smile on a Monday morning let alone get excited, but this bit of news we’re about to tell you has certainly done the trick. Ladies and gentlemen, Beyonce is launching an activewear label with high street fave Topshop. Let’s all take a minute to let that sink in… “This is not a collaboration. This is about building a brand and building a business – a separate, proper business, with separate overhead and a separate office,” Topshop/Arcadia boss Philip Green said. “When she was in London in February we arranged to get together. We started talking generally, about doing something together. We’ve been looking at that athletic sector for a while. It’s something we need to be in. Based on what she does, how she works out, the conversation got into that category. “We started getting into a proper conversation in May or June, as to how it would work. It took six or eight weeks to put a deal together. On Friday, Beyoncé came to our office for the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle.” The label – which as yet doesn’t have a name – sounds like it’s going to be pretty huge, as Philip Green confirmed that he will be hiring an entirely separate team, from a creative director to designers, to run it. We can’t wait to see the first pieces make their debut. Watch this space! [Vogue]
Read MoreLondon Fashion Week SS15 highlights from Mulberry, Topshop Unique, Marchesa and more!
London Fashion Week certainly didn’t ease us into the new season’s offerings gently, as it plunged straight in with fabulous collection after fabulous collection. Mary Katranztou once again pushed boundaries with her dance inspired collection, while both Whistles and Topshop Unique gave us hope that we can partake in the new-season trends at a fraction of the high end designer price. And as sportswear was a big theme of the Topshop Unique show, we definitely think versatility and wearability will spring to mind when deciding on whether to splash out on the new season pieces. After all, who doesn’t want to tell themselves they’ll head to the gym and be the most fashionable one there… Elsewhere in London, Mulberry proved that it doesn’t need a creative director at the helm to churn out an inspired collection with a great vision, and Marchesa once again made us completely envious of each and every model lucky enough to be draped in the exquisite designs. As pictures speak am thousand words, here are some of our visual highlights of London Fashion Week so far… Topshop Unique Mulberry Mary Katrantzou Marchesa Whistles
Read MoreKate Moss’s latest Topshop collection was a huge hit, says Sir Philip Green
Kate Moss’s return to the Topshop designing team was one of the most highly anticipated events of the year. There was a huge buzz around the collection, there was an epic star-studded launch party, and many pieces sold out left right and centre. Despite all the success though, some people apparently thought that the collection was a bit of a bust after seeing a lot of pieces get marked down in the sale. However, Topshop boss Sir Philip Green is keen to set the record straight… “The range was very, very successful and we waited until the end of the season to clear whatever was left. No more complicated than that,” he explained. “There’s nothing untoward, whether it’s got Kate Moss in it, or any other brand, what we’ve got left at the end of the season around the globe, we sell. There’s nothing that sells 100 per cent, whatever it is – it doesn’t exist in any business.” We think we’re going to believe him – he is a hugely successful businessman after all, so we think he knows what he’s talking about.

Read MoreGet Kendall Jenner’s Topshop and Miu Miu LAX look
Kendall Jenner wants the modelling world to take her seriously, so we aren’t the least bit surprised to see her treating everything as her catwalk – even the airport! While most of us slip into a comfortable pair of joggers and put on a dark pair of sunglasses to disguise tired eyes, Miss Jenner used this failsafe outfit combo as an opportunity to show the world that she can nail off duty airport style like a true modelling pro. (How many times have we seen the likes of Miranda Kerr and Rosie Huntington Whiteley, for example, look incredible after long haul flights?!) The best part of this look is that, apart from the footwear, it’s all pretty affordable as both jumper and joggers come from our high street fave – Topshop! Here’s everything you’ll need to get Kendall’s airport look: Space dye jumper, £36, available at Topshop Rib side stripe joggers, £40, available at Topshop Metal cap toe slip on sneakers, $490, Miu Miu available at Barneys
Read MoreGet Poppy Delevingne’s printed Topshop look
Cara Delevingne isn’t the only one in her family to love a bit of Topshop. Her newlywed older sis Poppy Delevingne can’t seem to get enough of the high street store either, as she was spotted out and about in London in a stunning summery midi skirt that will only set you back £38. Impressive stuff! Channel Poppy by teaming yours with a pair of zebra print heels and a casual white tee for that effortless “I’m just minding my own business but look how fabulous I am” look. Ps: wouldn’t a Poppy/Cara joint Topshop ad campaign be absolutely perfect? If the spring/summer2015 ad campaign stars haven’t been selected yet, we seriously think Topshop should consider it at the next big meeting… Leaf print midi skirt, £38, available at Topshop Scorpio suede platforms, £62, available at Topshop
Read MoreFirst look: Cara Delevingne for Topshop
We told you last month that Cara Delevingne had solely been chosen to model Topshop’s new season pieces for the autumn/winter 2014 ad campaigns… and now it’s finally time to take a look at the very first image from the campaign. So what do you think? Cara was shot by Alasdair McLellan, and we reckon she looks as effortlessly cool as always, looking really comfortable an at ease with some casual skinny jeans and a blazer to sharpen things up. We also love how she is strumming an acoustic guitar in the shot too, as we know how keen she is to break into the music industry. We can’t wait to see the rest of the pics from the ad campaign! They’re due to be released any day now so keep your eyes firmly peeled!
Read MoreGet Taylor Swift’s printed Topshop romper look
Taylor Swift will never stop impressing us with her summer street style. Just when you think it can’t get any better she only goes and outdoes herself – which is exactly how we feel about her latest outfit. She epitomised effortless summer style thanks to her printed Topshop romper, which she teamed with some bright yellow Gucci pumps, a Dolce and Gabbana Sarah bag and her signature red lippie. Here’s what you’ll need to steal her style: Aloha print romper, £30.96, Topshop available at Nordstrom Brown belt, £99.95, available at Harrods Yellow pumps, £198.77, Gianvito Rossi available at Far Fetch Rouge éclat lipstick, £19.50, Clarins available at Harrods
Read MoreCara Delevingne for Topshop is happening!
It’s happened – Cara Delevingne for Topshop has happened. Bang the drums, sound the horns and get the trombones out! Cara will become the face of Topshop’s autumn/winter 2014 collection, which will make her the first ever solo girl to model for the high street store; her ad campaign will be revealed later this year so make sure you keep all eyes and eyes firmly peeled! We always thought that Cara was well on her way to becoming the next Kate Moss, and this move pretty much cements it. Now we just need her to actually design a collection for Topshop (using her designing skills acquired at Mulberry and more recently, DKNY) and she really will be the new Mossy. Watch this space!

Read MoreKate Moss launches her Kate Moss for Topshop collection in Oxford Street!
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, you’ll already know that Kate Moss’s brand new Topshop collection officially went on sale around the world yesterday. And the supermodel launched aforementioned collection in true supermodel style, by taking over the Topshop flagship store on Oxford Street, then celebrating with all of her famous friends at an exclusive after party. And what did Kate wear to debut her collection and meet and greet her army of fans? Kate Moss for Topshop of course! The original Croydon gal wore a Kate Moss for Topshop Lamé Tuexdo Suit Jacket and matching trousers with a scallop trim cami top underneath for the main launch, and then slipped into something more glamorous for the after-party. Kate wore the beaded fringe jacket we have been lusting after for quite a while, and teamed it with a Lamé Bias Cut Maxi Dress and a black and white zigzag clutch bag. Seeing Kate Moss rock all of these looks from her new collection definitely proves how personal each and every piece is; she wasn’t lying when she said she was inspired by her existing wardrobe! The Kate Moss for Topshop collection is available to buy in stores and online right now!

Read MoreOur top picks from Kate Moss’s Topshop collection
Pictures of the entire Kate Moss x Topshop spring/summer 2014 collection surfaced earlier today, and we were pretty overwhelmed with the amount of covetable pieces on offer. Great news for our wardrobes, but not so great for our purses. This may still be a high street collection, but getting every single piece is still going to set us back and make a serious dent in our savings. The thing we love most about the collection is the versatility thanks to the individual Balearic Dressing, Pyjama Dressing, Cocktail Hour and Tailoring Noir categories. If you want a staple piece, a casual piece or a wow-worthy piece to blow everyone away, you’re sure to find what you’re looking for. It was a bit of a tough job, but we’ve selected five of our ultimate favourite pieces from the new collection. Here goes: 1. This also comes in a bold shade of green, but we think the yellow is far easier to acccessorise around. This is the perfect dress for this time of year – if you need something for the races or for your friend’s wedding, look no further. 2. The ultimate wow piece that Kate wore on the Harper’s Bazaar US cover to whet our appetites for the new collection. It clearly worked as we are all over this dress! 3. This playsuit has sexy and cute all wrapped up in a neat little package. Tease the boys with the see-through detailing, but stay ultra cute and feminine with the bow on the side. It’s the best of both worlds and we can’t wait to wear it this summer! 4. The perfect tunic to pull off that boho chic look. Festival fashion at its finest – pair with a pair of cut-off denim shorts and fringed cowboy boots for instant summer […]
Read MoreKate Moss covers Harper’s Bazaar US May, models more of her Topshop range
One major fashion glossy cover a month clearly isn’t enough for Kate Moss! As well as landing the British Vogue May cover, our Croydon girlie has also found herself fronting the Harper’s Bazaar US May issue, photographed by her good pal Terry Richardson! We’re in love with the subscriber’s cover above! Akin to her British Vogue cover, Kate is also modelling some designs from her upcoming collection with Topshop. You see that stunning silver sequin dress that she is rocking above? Yep – that’s from her collection that is! And so is the oh so chic black jacket on the newsstand cover below; exciting stuff we think you’ll agree! Kate’s Topshop collection hits stores on April 30th, but the sneak peeks we have been getting this week have definitely whet our appetite! You’ll even be able to pre-order some pieces from the collection directly from the Harper’s Bazaar website starting from next week, which we think is pretty cool. You can see more of Mossy’s gorgeous pics in the Harper’s Bazaar US May issue.
Read MoreKate Moss models her Topshop collection on British Vogue’s May issue
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, and we think that’s exactly what the world’s editions of Vogue think when it comes to Kate Moss. Yep, our favourite Croydon gal has landed yet another cover of the fashion Bible, as she is the cover star of British Vogue’s May issue! And what a lovely cover star she is too! Oh, and did we mention she’s wearing Topshop? Not just any Topshop though – one of the pieces from her very own brand new Topshop collection! Kate is wearing a very beautiful fringed jacket, which she apparently designed to replace a similar one that she’d lost. We love a jacket with a story behind it! History appears to be repeating itself as Mossy debuted the first piece from her Topshop collection on the Vogue cover back in 2007 too – let’s hope this is a good tradition and the collection is just as, if not more, successful as it was all those years ago. We can’t wait to snap this issue up!
Read MoreVanessa Hudgens vs. Mindy Kaling…Who wore Topshop better?
We love spotting a high street ensemble on the red carpet, and this week’s frock-off war comes courtesy of two A-list darlings in our favourite high street store’s garms. Vanessa Hudgens and Mindy Kaling were recently spotted in an emerald green Topshop jacquard skirt and crop top look, with both ladies opting to style it very differently. Vanessa landed first dibs on the gorgeous evening look, wearing it to promote her film Gimme Shelter at the Sirius XM Studios back in January. Vanessa paired the crop top and longer midi skirt with simple black pumps and a stack of pretty rings, while tumbling curls, a soft, smoky eye and a slick of berry red on the nails completed the look. Competing for the style prize in a slightly modified version of the same outfit is Mindy Kaling, who opted for a shorter length skirt at the The Paley Center for Media’s Paley Fest 2014 event last week. Peep toe Louboutin pumps, glossy curls and evening perfect eye make-up rounded off the look nicely. So, whose look wins in the style stakes? We love the varied hemlines, and feel Mindy’s shortened skirt length works better to create a mote flattering silhouette; the look runs too ‘straight’ on Vanessa. Seems like the crown’s yours for the taking this week, Ms. Kaling! Whose look wins for you? [Images: Vanessa; Mindy)
Read MoreFirst look: Topshop x Adidas Originals
We told you that a Topshop x Adidas Originals collaboration was in the works, and now it’s time to take the very first look at the collection. As promised, the collection offers the best of both brands, meaning we get relaxed and comfortable Adidas sportswear (complete with the iconic triple stripe logo, of course) combined with fun, contemporary and ultra feminine signatures. “Topshop and Adidas Originals working together is a total celebration of the greatness of fashion and sportswear and how important and influential they are to each other,” said Kate Phelan, a spokesperson for Topshop. “We wanted to bring some femininity to the range and make the collection fit with all your fashion staples; the beauty is in how you combine it together. We’re in a sportswear revolution at the moment; fashion is really driven by what’s happening in the sportswear world, it’s at the top of the radar in the fashion stakes so to have Adidas Originals as a starting point was fantastic.” It’s true – sports brands don’t get much bigger than Adidas, do they? The 20-piece collection hits stores on March 20th, so make sure you snap up your favourite piece early as we predict this is going to be a sell-out collection. With the nice weather fast approaching, we bet a lot of women will be searching for the perfect sports gear to wear on their morning jog! [Vogue]
Read MoreBeyonce stuns in striped Topshop dress
If you’ve been living under a rock you might not know that Queen Beyonce is right here in the UK, singing and dancing her butt off entertaining her millions of fans on stage as part of her Mrs Carter world tour. And while she flashes the flesh in a number of sexy designer outfits while performing, her off stage attire is a little different. Beyonce’s “out-and-about-minding-my-own-business” look is a little more casual than her (Sasha) Fierce (sorry) costumes, but it’s by no means less wow-worthy. She is still Beyonce, after all! Beyonce proved that you can still look divine in high street as she stunned in a black and white striped Topshop dress while heading to Mayfair’s The Arts Club with hubby Jay Z. Makes sense to see her in something from the high street store seeing as she reportedly spent three hours perusing the stock in the Oxford Street flagship last week. We can’t wait to see what else she snapped up while she was in there… watch this space! [Image]
Read MoreTopshop flagship store heading to New York’s Fifth Avenue
New York has beaten London to the most fashionable city in the world title (sob, sniff) but the one thing we have got that the Big Apple hasn’t is a gargantuan Topshop flagship. Until now! Topshop tycoon Sir Philip Green is bringing the high street store to New York’s Fifth Avenue – and it’ll be the second biggest Topshop store in the world, with only the flagship on London’s Regent Street beating it to the top spot. Not only will Topshop be heading to Fifth Avenue later this year, but we can also expect stores to open in San Diego, Houston, Atlanta and Washington by spring 2015. Oh and the websites are going to be bigger and better than ever, too! “I am very excited about Fifth Avenue, having looked for a location there for many years, and I believe this corner is both hugely prominent and perfectly located for our brands,” Sir Philip Green said. “I am also delighted to be entering new markets for the first time in the other great cities. “In addition to our flagship stores expansion, we are continually developing our topshop.com and topman.com sites, and our on-going partnership with Nordstrom continues to develop.” Well, there you have it. If you’re planning on moving to America, you might not have to miss out on shopping in your favourite high street store after all! [Express]
Read MoreTopshop Unique launches debut Resort 2014 collection!
Following on from the success of last year’s pre-fall range, high street fave Topshop will be launching a Resort collection for the first time, ever! Even more Topshop pieces to lust after? Yes please! The 15-piece capsule collection is being marketed as “simple and modern” – which is definitely the vibe we got having peeked at the pieces prior to the big launch on January 9th. Elegant, understated and totally wow-worthy, what’s not to love? The collection comprises of co-ordinated separates and dresses in a sleek black, metallic and pastel minty colour palette, with some of the stand-out pieces including a structured boxy blouse – perfect for making a statement in the office – a fierce crew neck jumper, wide leg trousers with pocket detailing, and our very favourite piece, an attention-grabbing pastel metallic skirt which you can see below. (We’ll be tucking a crisp shirt into ours and rocking it with some strappy heels and statement tights.) No need to wait for the new season as Topshop Unique’s Resort collection is just the mid-season treat we need! Prices range from £95 for a satin tee to £275 for a satin bomber. You can shop the collection from January 9th at the flagship Topshop stores in Selfridges and Oxford Circus , as well as New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong and of course, the website.
Read MoreGet Selena Gomez’s Topshop jumpsuit look
The Christmas party season is far from over, and if you’re anything like us, you still haven’t finished putting together all your outfits for the festive season. We know you’ve probably got your favourite little black dress out the wardrobe and put it on standby, and have pulled together some last-minute failsafe accessories to team with aforementioned dress, but you don’t have to go down the dress route. Take a leaf out of Selena Gomez’s book and go for an all-in-one black jumpsuit instead. Plus, the beauty of a jumpsuit means you have less of your skin to apply self tan to, so it will also save you time and money. Win, win! Steal Selena’s style and add fierce black heels, or add some festive magic and sparkle to your look and go for bold red or something in the glittery department instead. Lurex fluffy all-in-one, £48 available at Topshop Black patent point toe pumps, £360, available at Jimmy Choo Rouge lipstick, £26, Dior available at Selfridges [Image]

Read MoreGet Erin Wasson’s sequin Topshop jumpsuit
Don’t you love it when your favourite singers, actresses, it girls and models step out in High Street? Gorgeous model Erin Wasson wore a sparkly jumpsuit at the Topshop Celebrates The Holidays At The Grove event in LA, so naturally thought it would only be polite to wear a Topshop Unique piece. We fell in love with the jumpsuit when we saw Jourdan Dunn rock it before our very eyes at the Topshop Unique SS14 show during London Fashion Week back in September (where has the time gone?!) and Erin Wasson has made us love it all over again. It’s the perfect piece to wear to a Christmas party if you want to defy style conventions and go for something a little bit different to the traditional dress but still get into the festive spirit. Get yours from Topshop stores and online before it sells out! Sequin jumpsuit, £350, Unique available at Topshop
Read MoreGift of the Day: Topshop light blue polar bear fleece robe
As it’s the run-up to Christmas, we’re going to be helping you on your Christmas present quest by offering helpful little pieces of shopping advice every day. Today’s Gift of the Day is this adorable Topshop light blue polar bear fleece robe, which we think you’ll agree is a great way to kick the whole thing off! Is there anything warmer, cosier, and generally more appropriate for a chilly Christmas morning than a fluffy robe? Short answer: no! Treat someone you love to this gorgeous Topshop light blue polar bear fleece robe – it’ll not only keep them warm and toasty as they excitedly open the rest of their presents around the tree, but it’ll serve them well for most months of the year too. It’s ok, we’ve lived in England for a long time and we’ve accepted that it’s cold for the majority of the 12 months. This Topshop light blue polar bear fleece robe even comes with a hood, so you (well, the person you’re giving it to – although we wouldn’t blame you if you got one for yourself!) can be fully cosy from top to toe. Topshop light blue polar bear fleece robe, £32

Every weekend, Nicole Scherzinger comes out on the X Factor stage and blows us away with her intricate designer pieces that we can only dream of being able to wear ourselves. However, her appearance at the BBC Children in Need Gala in London was a little bit different, as she managed to look equally as breathtaking in a dress straight from the high street. Yep, Nicole Scherzinger wore Topshop, and the best news is that it’s still available in store and online! It probably won’t be for long though, so act fast if you want to channel the Scherzy in the cut-out party piece! Lurex cut-out midi dress, £36, available at Topshop [Image]
Read MoreWatch Kate Bosworth model her second collection for Topshop
Kate Bosworth’s debut collection for Topshop was a huge success, and judging by what we see before us this morning, we have every confidence that her sophomore offering will be just as well received. “The collection is tailored and classic. For fall, we wanted to create luxurious pieces with a strong minimalist approach,” Kate Bosworth said. “”Slim silhouettes are cloaked in a masculine shape, staying true to the mix of masculine/feminine balance that exists in my personal aesthetic.” Masculine meets feminine is something Kate Bosworth does so well, and it’s really reflected in the new collection. You can see some highlights of the collection in the video below, with pictures that were photographed by her husband Michael Polish. The 46-piece collection lands in stores worldwide and online from today, with prices ranging from £35 to £500.

Read MoreKate Moss is back designing for Topshop!
Kate Moss has obviously caught the designing bug. After her fash tech collaboration with Carphone Warehouse was a roaring success, Kate now wants to give designing for Topshop another go as she is set to resume her collaboration for the high street chain. Can we get a Hallelujah? Mossy will reportedly be working with Topshop creative director Kate Phelan and stylist Katy England for the spring/summer 2014 collection that’s slated for release in April 2014. “I am personally thrilled that Kate wanted to come back to Topshop to work with us again,” Philip Green said. “The first time around was such a lot of fun, and she has been sorely missed.” We missed her too! And it sounds like Kate is pretty chuffed to be back too… “I have really missed being involved in the design process, and working with the team at Topshop,” she said. “Now more than ever, with London being at the forefront of fashion…it feels like I’m back home working with Topshop.” According to reports, we can expect a collection comprised of clothes, shoes and accessories, and it will be available in 40 different countries in the world, with pop-ups in several worldwide department stores too. Sounds exciting! [Telegraph]
Read MoreRihanna gets permanent injunction against Topshop
We told you last month that Rihanna came out victorious in the Rihanna v Topshop court battle (the high street store used an unlicensed image of her on one of their tees without seeking her permission) but the court case has now gone one step further. The Bajan singer has now won a permanent injunction against Topshop, as the high street store is banned from ever using her image in the future. So if you ever see a Rihanna tee in Topshop again, you know that someone somewhere has been naughty, because it isn’t supposed to be there! Rihanna and her team are reportedly seeking around £919,000 in legal bills (a sum which the judge said himself was “startling”), but he has now settled on a “reasonable” £200,000 interim payment. Phew. Do we think this is the last of the Topshop and Rihanna court battle? Can we stop reading up on legal jargon now?
Read MoreLunchtime Buy: Topshop flower embroidered bomber jacket
If you’ve been paying attention to Cara Delevingne and her wifey/BFF Rita Ora’s personal sartorial styles of late, you’ll know that they are all over bomber jackets – and have been for quite some time. We think the great British High Street has cottoned onto this, and as a result has produced quite a lot of them for the new season; this flower embroidered bomber jacket from Topshop is one of our faves. The aforementioned new season is the perfect time to rock a bomber jacket as it’s not quite cold enough to dig out the big winter coat from the back of the wardrobe. Bomber jackets can be quite a tomboyish, androgynous piece, but they don’t have to be. This Topshop flower embroidered bomber jacket comes complete with intricate embroidered flower detailing, which definitely gives it that highly sought after feminine touch. Topshop flower embroidered bomber jacket, £70
Read MoreLunchtime Buy: Topshop snake zippy backpack
We’re sticking with our back to school theme this week, and nothing brings us back to those classroom days more than a backpack. We wont tell you how long it’s been since we set foot in a classroom though… shudder! We know some backpacks can be a little bit on the pricey side (yes Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, we are looking at you and your gorgeous albeit ridiculously priced backpacks) but this snake zippy one from Topshop will only set you back £36. There’s a reason we love that high street store! Although this snake zippy backpack comes in an abundance of colours, including the failsafe black, it’s the grey one which has grabbed our attention this lunchtime. It’s appropriate for all four seasons, and you can afford to be a lot more experimental with your outfit choices as this bag goes with – and complements – just about anything. Topshop snake zippy backpack, £36
Read MoreRihanna wins Topshop legal battle!
Good news for Rihanna – the Bajan singer has just won her court battle against Topshop, after she sued the high street store for unlawfully using a picture of her on one of their tops. The offending image was taken by a pap while Ri Ri was shooting her We Found Love video, and was uncannily similar to the one used on the CD sleeve which her legal team said might confuse fans. Case judge Mr Justice Briss (what a great first name for a judge!) said that while a famous person cannot control the reproduction of their image – and the photo didn’t breach her privacy – the fact that the shop didn’t seek her permission is what lost them the case. “The mere sale by a trader of a T-shirt bearing an image of a famous person is not, without more, an act of passing off,” he said. “However, the sale of this image of this person on this garment by this shop in these circumstances is a different matter. I find that Topshop’s sale of this Rihanna T-shirt without her approval was an act of passing off.” Topshop are obviously disappointed with the verdict… “We’re surprised and disappointed by the judgment handed down today,” a spokesperson for Topshop said. “We feel that the fact that Rihanna has shopped, worn and had a relationship with Topshop for several years appears to have been detrimental to our case. We robustly dispute the Judge’s conclusion. We believe that our customers clearly understand when we are undertaking a collaboration such as the one we created with Kate Moss over several seasons.” Hmm, will Topshop be appealing the decision? Watch this space! Whose side are you on? [Telegraph]
Read MoreParis Hilton vs. Miranda Kerr…Who wore Topshop better?
Championing the humble high street this week are two ladies more accustomed to the high end world. Super-stunner, Miranda Kerr, and scene –stealing (in many ways) socialite Paris Hilton both stepped out in the same printed Topshop maxi skirt, and we couldn’t resist a fash-off! Totally digging every high street hit we can land our peepers on, let’s begin with Miranda – the queen of all things dressed down and cool. OK, so she may be on par with Jessica Alba when it comes to a stellar off-duty wardrobe, but we can safely say we can’t stop ogling Mrs. Bloom’s radiant complexion and off-runway style antics. Nothing short of perfect with every relaxed ensemble, Miranda pulled this maxi-vest dress look off with aplomb, as she styles it with a simple, halter-neck style black vest, flat T-bar sandals and her beloved Givenchy Antigona tote. Face-framing sunnies and flowing glossy locks, not to mention an adorable toddler, polished off the look with perfection. Stepping out in the same skirt, Paris Hilton took to the sandy beaches of Malibu on the very same day! A sucker for girly style, Ms. Hilton opted to pair the budget skirt, which features a leg-flashing side split, with a deep v-neck, cut-out detail bodycon top (which we assume is a swimsuit). Paris finished off her look by accessorising with oversized sunnies, flat pumps and a beach tote. So, whose look is a firm winner? Well, both ladies put their individual style stamps on the high street skirt, but we’re sticking with Aussie beauty Miranda on this one! By adding black to the mix, Miranda has toughened up the whimsy feel of the skirt, whilst Paris’s look appears a little ‘all over the place.’ Do you agree with our fash-off verdict?

Luckily for us, the singer, Material Girl ad campaign star and all-round fashionista headed to the 2013 Fashion Retail Academy Awards last week in something less skimpy than we are used to, which excited us very much as it meant that we could steal her style and not catch our death.

Read MoreIs Rihanna suing Topshop?
Uh oh, looks like Topshop is in Rihanna’s bad books as the high street store is apparently selling t-shirts with the Bajan singer’s face on without her permission. Ri Ri and her team reportedly asked the shop to stop selling the tees but were unsuccessful, so she is now taking legal action against the retailer. Yikes! “She has spent almost $1 million (£660,000) in litigation at this point,” a source said. “She says it’s the principle, and wants to make a statement about it. “Rihanna’s management asked Topshop a number of times to stop selling her image and were told, ‘We do what we want.’ They buy the pictures from a photographer, but they do not pay the artist licensing fees. Unfortunately, UK law does not protect the artist. Reps for Rihanna and Topshop have yet to comment, but we’ll keep you posted. Whose side are you on? [NY Post]
Read MoreFirst look at Kate Bosworth for Topshop Festival collection
Kate Bosworth and chic festival style seem to go hand in hand, don’t they? Hence why we weren’t the least bit surprised to find out that she had teamed up with good old Topshop to help the high street store with a festival collection. Why wasn’t it done sooner? “Our intent was to create fresh, wearable, and effortless festival pieces,” Kate said. “I am proud of our work together and I adore these pieces, they fit perfectly with the mood of the ‘Topshop Festival’ collection.” Although Kate didn’t design the collection herself, she was Topshop’s muse during the designing process, and she has of course been given the task of modelling the finished pieces in a Californian desert. Who else would they get, eh? The 16-piece collection features all your festival essentials, including cut off denim shorts, crop tops, fun dresses, and even the less essential (but always encouraged) angel wings. It lands in stores and online tomorrow – try to contain your excitement! [Images]
Read MoreTopshop Met Gala dresses coming to a store near you….
Today’s news is inevitably going to be dominated by last night’s Met Gala – after all, how often do fashion’s elite gather in New York for a prestigious night of art, style and glamour? (And in this year’s case – punk!) We told you a few weeks ago that some of the big name designer pieces were going to be up for grabs on the Moda Operandi website the very next day – that means you can get Taylor Swift’s J Mendel gown and Dakota Fanning’s Rodarte dress from today – but that’s not the only place to offer Met Gala outfits. You may have noticed that no less than five celebs decided to rock the red carpet in custom Topshop dresses last night (Julianne Hough, Jaime King, Nicole Richie, Jourdan Dunn and Ashley Madekwe all stepped out in dresses designed by the high street store) and it’s being reported that each and every one will be available for us to purchase a little later this year. How good is that? Looking like a celeb at an affordable price? Yes please! We’ll let you know the launch date as soon as possible! [Vogue]
Read MoreTopshop-clad Kate Middleton gives moving speech for Children’s Hospice Week
Kate Middleton is once again doing her bit for charity, this time giving a speech to raise awareness for children’s hospices. Wearing a cute black and white Topshop dress with a Peter Pan collar (don’t bother looking for it, it’s already sold out – shock, horror) Kate gives a moving speech about Children’s Hospice Week in the prerecorded video footage. “As Patron of East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices I have been fortunate to see at first hand the remarkable work that they do for children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families,” she says. “With our support, those providing children’s palliative care can continue to offer these extraordinary services. It does not bear thinking about what these families would do without this. And as the Duchess of Cambridge says in the video, you can head to togetherforshortlives.org.uk to find out more about Children’s Hospice Week. Well done Kate on another well-delivered speech! Oh and before we forget: Happy second wedding anniversary to Wills and Kate. Is it just us or has the time flown by?
Read MoreKate Bosworth’s Topshop festival collection
Ever since she was unveiled as the mystery woman behind that “who’s that girl” Christmas ad campaign, Kate Bosworth’s professional relationship with Topshop has just kept on expanding. Her latest project with the high street store? A festival collection apparently! We’d like to point out that she didn’t actually design the piece herself like some of the other celeb-meets-high street collections out there, but she did have quite a bit of “creative input”, whatever that means. “The design team and I thought a lot about the festival season, and, particularly with this collection, a lot of it was about the California girl,” she said. “Obviously the perfect place to wear it was Coachella.” According to reports, “the 360 degree campaign involves music, clothes, film, journeys and the attitude and energy of British festivals,” and we can expect to see more unfold later on in the year. Sounds pretty cool to us, what say you?
Read MoreGet Jennifer Lopez’s Topshop/designer look
We guess there was some truth in her “don’t be fooled by the rocks that I got, I’m still Jenny from the block” song lyrics from all those years ago, as it looks like Jennifer Lopez still shops on the good old High Street – the proof is in the pic above. J-Lo was spotted out and about wearing a bright and very on-trend cropped jumper from none other than Topshop. Sure she paired it with some not-so-high-street Gucci shoes, but we do love it when a celeb knows how to mix and match high street and designer pieces with such ease and class. Gucci sandals aside, you won’t need to break the bank to channel Jennifer either – here’s what you’ll need to get her look for yourselves: White flower and stud clutch, £25, available at Dorothy Perkins Knitted fluoro pink jumper, £30, available at Topshop Ursula sandals, $850, Gucci available at Nordstorm Off-white pencil skirt, £95, available at Reiss
Read MoreEmmy Rossum champions the British High Street in dazzling Topshop dress
Demi Lovato isn’t the only famous fan of Topshop – Emmy Rossum seems to be quite keen on it too! God bless Philip Green! We always get a warm and fuzzy feeling when we see celebs taking to the red carpet in Topshop… after all, they have so many designer options at their fingertips that they could wear absolutely anything they wanted… so the fact that they choose Topshop proves that the high street store is still doing something right! Emmy Rossum attended the iHeartRadio 20/20 album party (yes that is Justin Timberlake’s new album… we feel it definitely deserves a party too!) wearing a green and white embroidered dress from the Little Dresses section of the store. Akin to Blake Lively, Emmy also rocks those white shoes like a pro – no hint of Essex style here! We can’t fault her look; the chic but slightly messy updo, the glittery eye make-up and even the white manicure all equal sartorial perfection!
Read MoreGet Kate Bosworth’s Topshop look
Seeing as she was revealed as Topshop’s mystery girl in the top secret ad campaign a few months ago, it made perfect sense that Kate Bosworth attended the grand opening of the new store in Los Angeles. Naturally clad in some pretty nifty Topshop gear, obviously! Kate rocked a chic but edgy denim shirt from the J.W. Anderson for Topshop range, which she paired with a floral jacquard skirt to make the look a tad more feminine. The good news is that both of these pieces are still available to buy, so click the links below to snap them up before they sell out. Kate carried one of those very coveted Proenza Schouler clutch bags, but you can get a similar one from Dorothy Perkins for just a fraction of the price! This is a great look to try and recreate in the next few months if the weather continues to get better, as it’s a nice cross between edgy and feminine. Fingers crossed the sun continues to shine! Denim shirt, £50, J.W. Anderson for Topshop available at Topshop Floral jacquard skirt, $80, Topshop available at Nordstrom Black clutch, £10, available at Dorothy Perkins Black wedge trainers, £49, Love Label available at Littlewoods
