Topshop Returns With Trafalgar Square Runway and 'See Now, Buy Now' AW25 Collection

New majority ownership by Bestseller positions the brand for a phased store return this fall.

Overview

  • The brand relaunched its standalone site on Aug. 15 and staged its first runway since 2018 in Trafalgar Square, with the AW25 line available to buy immediately.
  • Danish group Bestseller, via its Heartland investment arm, now holds 75% of Topshop, with Asos retaining a 25% stake.
  • Managing director Michelle Wilson said permanent standalone stores are slated for the fall as part of a phased comeback focused on wholesale and partner-run pop-ups.
  • The first wholesale placement begins this week at Irish department store McElhinney’s, with further physical rollouts planned for autumn.
  • Cara Delevingne fronts the relaunch campaign and curated a 40-piece edit, as the collection revives hallmarks like denim and Joni jeans; early reaction praises nostalgia and styling while questioning material quality.
