The show is connected to the relaunch of the official website for Topshop and Topman and presents the autumn 2025 men and women’s collections in a now format that you are now buying. A street party with live music, DJ sets and surprise guests follows.
Moses Rashid, Global Marketing Director at Topshop and Topman, said that the show entitled “Think Editorial With London Grit” will be “a cultural moment in the time when we can all take the creativity and the Swag together, which make the energy of Londons so unique and in turn bring London to the world”.
Before the show, Topshop and Topman revealed an open casting on Wednesday in cooperation with Wilhelmina Models in London, which ran until August 4 in cooperation with Wilhelmina models to discover the unsigned talent for the show.
“We want to start fresh and diverse new faces that match both Topshop/Topman and the global standard of Wilhelmina models,” said Natalie Knudson, consultant at Wilhelmina models.
“Topshop and Topman were a crucial force in the British way and combined with Wilhelmina models, which are a world’s leading leader in the talent. We believe that this will be more than a show. It is a celebration of the emerging talent,” she added.
The show has been a much expected comeback for Topshop and Topman since its heyday of Arcadia. It was the first high-street brand that was shown during the London Fashion Week and supported the BFC Newgen scheme for a decade.
The British E-Sailer ASOS acquired Topshop and Topman from the Arcadia, which has now been discontinued, and revealed new identities for Topshop and Topman in September 2022.
Last September, Heartland acquired a share of 75 percent in the Topshop and Topman from ASOS via a joint venture. As part of the deal, ASOS also retains certain design and sales rights for the brands of Topshop and Topman in return for a license fee so that you can continue the marketing and sale of the brands online.
