Topshop (kinda) returning to Ireland in high street comeback
High street clothing brand Topshop is making its comeback, with Ireland being one of the countries where it'll return. The clothing brand closed its final shop in late 2020, with the brand being purchased by ASOS in 2021 and their clothes being available on ASOS' website as well as in Nordstrom in the US. Today's top videos STORY CONTINUES BELOW However, following a teaser that they would be returning in physical form earlier this year, Topshop announced that it will be reopening physical shops in Denmark, France and in Ireland. Pic: Sorbis/Shutterstock McElhinney's in Donegal, the largest department store outside of Dublin, will be where Topshop first returns to Ireland, while Primetemps shops in France and Magasin du Nord shops in Denmark will also see the shops return. Drapers report that McElhinney's will see a Topshop department from August 21, with a spokesperson saying that they're 'delighted' to be back. 'We're delighted to confirm we will stock in a range of partners across Europe and Rest of World territories including Printemps, Magasin and McElhinneys,' a Topshop spokesperson said. ASOS bought Topshop's parent company Arcadia in 2020. Pic: Shutterstock 'I'm excited to see Topshop back in person,' the brand's managing director Michelle Wilson told Draper. 'I think the partner that we are collaborating with is an incredible partner. 'I think it will surprise a few people. I'm looking forward to the day that we launch that and seeing people's reaction and excitement.' Topshop closed its beloved St Stephen's Green flagship store in 2019, before it emerged that ASOS bought out Arcadia, its parent company, for €300million and its remaining stock for €30million. Several Irish outlets of Topshop and other brands closed in 2019. Pic: Shutterstock 'The acquisition of these iconic British brands is a hugely exciting moment for Asos and our customers and will help accelerate our multi-brand platform strategy,' ASOS Chief Executive Nick Beighton said at the time. 'We have been central to driving their recent growth online and, under our ownership, we will develop them further, using our design, marketing, technology and logistics expertise, and working closely with key strategic retail partners in the UK and around the world.'

The on-trend buys won't be available to buy until August, but a member of the Tu team has already given shoppers an exciting preview.

And she rounded up her five top picks from the new range - including a staple buy which proves a classic 1920s trend is returning.

But it looks to return for AW25 with the likes of Miu Miu favouring the cosy print this year. Showing off Tu's answer to the knitwear, Hannah said: "A trend that we're really feeling is the argyle knits. You'll have seen some of these come through the catwalk." The fine knit cardigan features a tan, grey and cream colourway which means it will be easy to pair with outfits.

Shoppers are going wild for a As well as being purse-friendly, the dress looks strikingly similar to the This makes the Tu dress a whopping £283 cheaper. And a £26 frock that's perfect for summer getaways is flying off the rails. Is supermarket fashion the new high street? DEPUTY Fashion Editor Abby McHale weighs in: The supermarkets have really upped their game when it comes to their fashion lines. These days, as you head in to do your weekly food shop you can also pick up a selection of purse-friendly, stylish pieces for all the family. Tesco has just announced a 0.7 per cent increase in the quarter thanks to a 'strong growth in clothing' and M&S has earnt the title of the number one destination for womenswear on the high street. Asda's clothing line George has made £1.5 million for the supermarket in 2023, 80 per cent of Sainsbury's clothes sold at full price rather than discounted and Nutmeg at Morrisons sales are also up 2 per cent in the past year. So what is it about supermarket fashion that is becoming so successful? Apart from the clothing actually being affordable, it's good quality too - with many being part of schemes such as the Better Cotton Initiative. A lot of the time they keep to classic pieces that they know will last the customer year after year. Plus because they buy so much stock they can turn around pieces quickly and buy for cheaper because of the volumes.
