Topman Online Shop Opens In The U.S.

“As Emo As I Wanna Be…”

The bad news first: The much-heralded U.S. store debut of British clothing empire Topshop (and Topman for men) has been pushed back. It now appears that the Soho NYC store will open in November. The good news? The e-commerce site for Topman is now open, meaning us Yankees have full access to Topman’s well-designed, affordable basics'not quite Uniqlo cheap, but close.

As it prepares for its grand U.S. opening, Topman is continuing an ongoing project in which it enlists designers to reintrepret a classic. For its latest, “The Black Trouser Project”, Topman enlisted five designers' Aitor Throup, Ann-Sofie Back, Patrik Ervell, Tim Hamilton and Todd Lynn'to reinvent the classic pant. See the results below…
