London: The British cult brand Topshop will return to the British shopping streets in February, five years after the closure of its last branches.

The department store chain John Lewis announced this on Wednesday. The brand will be available in 32 of its department stores throughout the United Kingdom. Since August 28, she has been available from Liberty, the traditional department store in the heart of London.

Topshop, once a very popular symbol for young, trendy fashion, had to close his shops in 2021. The reason for this was the decline of his owner Arcadia, which is due, among other things, to the change in the industry caused by the Covid pandemic. The brand was saved by the British online fashion retailer ASOS, which today only holds a minority share. It is now checked by the Danish businessman Anders Holch Povlsen, owner of the fashion group Bestseller.

The variety of clothing, the quick reaction of the designers: inside to the trends of the catwalks and the cooperations, especially with Kate Moss, were a key factor for their success in the 2000s and 2010s. Topshop, which was still sold online after the closure of his shops, including the famous London branch in the Oxford Street, made his debut in the basement of a department store in Sheffield in northern England in 1964.
