“In England, it’s where people go. If you love fashion, you love Topshop. It’s a staple. Without it I don’t know what we’d do. So yeah, New Yorkers should be hyped. I mean in the UK, we love Abercrombie & Fitch, so it’s only fair we share!”

“Well I went to University in New York four years ago and I didn’t see any good fashion on the street. Topshop will help bring out more cool people, not just the ones who are fashionable in a superficial way.”

“Will it be cheaper for us British when we go to the States? I’m hoping that’s the case. Americans tend to wear a lot of British stuff anyway, so it’s almost a natural evolution. The Topshops in London are already filled with American people anyway!”
