Phillip Green decided to stop toying with New Yorkers’ emotions and bestow the city with its own standalone Topshop store, which opens for business on April 2. It’s becoming Manhattan’s fashion event of the decade, with no less than 18 private dinners (what recession?) and umpteen Kate Moss appearances planned to celebrate its launch, not to mention the parties and street “ambassadors” handing out gift bags around town. Expect rounds of YouTube footage of girls and women stampeding the entrance for affordable goodies such as of-the-moment ethnic-inspired accessories, fringe ankle boots and Kate Moss-designed dresses which you can now get a sneak peek of here.
