Topman Design Announces 2nd Solo Show to be Held at the Royal Opera House

LONDON, September 3, 2010 - Topman Design has announced it is to showcase its second
consecutive solo show at The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden on September
22nd as part of the ever growing menswear day at London Fashion Week.

Until last season when the debut solo show was held at the
official British Fashion Council (BFC) Tents, Topman Design had shown
on-schedule as part of the increasingly successful MAN event which Topman set
up alongside Fashion East eleven seasons ago. This season, Topman Design will
share the Royal Opera House venue with MAN, whose show will follow Topman
Design later in the afternoon at 12.30pm.

This season the Topman Design show will be streamed live on
topman.com and londonfashionweek.co.uk - as well as live in the windows of
Topman's famous Oxford Street store - and, for the very first time this
season, a very limited number of pieces from the show will be made available
to purchase on-line directly after the show at topman.com.

Topman Design is a directional premium collection which is
stocked online at topman.com, the London Oxford Circus and New York Flagships
as well as key international stores including La Foret in Tokyo, Incu in
Sydney and Shine in Hong Kong. With a growing, almost cult following, the
collections have evolved over the seasons under the creative direction of
Alister Mackie of AnOther Man, a leading fashion director and superstylist,
and Topman Design Director, Gordon Richardson and his dedicated and talented
in-house design team.

Gordon Richardson said: "The decision to show apart from MAN
last season was welcomed by both the MAN and the Menswear Panel who
collectively agreed that it was the right time for us. We established a
consistent design ethic and we continue to have a good following both giving
us the confidence we needed to move on and allow MAN to continue to nurture
new young talent which is after all its purpose."

MAN and the driving forces behind it have been credited for
the rejuvenated recognition of menswear in the capital and the subsequent
official Menswear Day which has been granted by the BFC and now holds a
permanent position on the LFW schedule. Last season saw the welcome addition
of The British Fashion Council's NewGen Men Award to which Topman remains the
sole sponsor.

Jason Griffiths, Marketing Director at Topman said: "Topman's decision to
show Topman Design alone again this season does not affect our investment
into MAN - all investment remains the same. Topman along with Fashion East
continues as normal to drive the initiative forward together along with the
appointed MAN panel. It makes complete commercial sense for us in
establishing Topman Design as a successful home grown premium collection
which we are now wholesaling to credible stores globally."
