Topshop Announces the Arrival of New Designers Online

LONDON, September 9, 2010 - Topshop has welcomed a number of collections and collaborations from new
designers to be introduced online and at the company's flagship Oxford Street
store.

While new clothing projects will launch throughout the year,
September sees the arrival of new collections from Ashish and Michael Van Der
Ham.

Michael Van Der Ham will be creating a range of multi-coloured
silk scarves which will feature trompe d'oeil patchwork and fringe detailing.
This is the first time Topshop has worked with Michael Van Der Ham, and
follows his recent NEWGEN sponsorship win.

Ashish will be offering a range of premium jerseys. The pieces
are emblazoned with French phrases using flocking and will be available in
both fitted and oversized styles. Ashish's collections for Topshop are always
desirable, with his sporty and fun aesthetic proving very popular with
fashion tastemakers.

Rachael Proud, Senior Buyer and Consultant at Topshop
commented: "The new collaborations were inspired by our desire to offer
something new, exciting and surprising to the customer that was ever-changing
instore. We hope that the customer will go into store to buy the perfect gift
for a friend, but love the gift so much they have to keep it for themselves."

    Notes to Editors:

    - The Michael Van Der Ham scarves and Ashish's jersey pieces will be
      available online on topshop.com and instore from London Fashion Week in
      September. Selected pieces from the other ranges will also be available
      online, to be advised closer to launch date.

    - Information on forthcoming launches from October onwards will be sent
      out throughout the year
