Topshop to launch one-day basement pop-up this month
More news seems to be coming-out of Topshop — not forgetting Topman — on a weekly basis at the moment and the latest is that its expected high street return later this summer will be brought forward.. for one day, at least.
This month will see a one-day-only physical pop-up event in Shoreditch, created in collaboration with house music label Defected Records.
The pop-up will be in Defected's Curain Road basement space (don't forget that Topshop's Oxford Circus flagship — now occupied by Ikea — was famous for its basement location) and will be dubbed Topshop & Topman In The House.
Vistors will get early access to the new Ibiza-inspired Talamanca collection, as well as limited-edition Topshop x Defected merchandise. Plus there'll be a full line-up of experiences such as makeovers, live DJ sets and cocktails.
It may be for just a few hours but as Topshop's first physical activity since it was bought out of administration by online-only retailer ASOS in 2021, it's a big deal — a really big deal.
The pop-up is a ticketed event with ticket-holders allocated time slots and Topshop global marketing director Moses Rashid saying on LinkedIn that the event is sold out, although there's some capacity for walk-ins.
The link-up with a partner such as Defected (plus the Shoreditch location) suggests that Topshop will be going all out to replicate the ultra-cool image it had in its heyday.
Now 75% owned by the holding company of the family behind Bestseller (also a major ASOS shareholder), ASOS retains a minority stake and the distribution rights.

Within three months of the funding round, Estailo has doubled its revenue, supported by a surge in repeat purchases and sustained growth on its direct-to-consumer platform. The brand credits this momentum to both financial backing and the strategic guidance received from Wolfpack Labs.

"In under two years, Sangeeta, as a solo founder, along with her all-women team, has built a brand with clear product-market fit, strong community engagement, and real scale. Their commitment to accessibility and deep understanding of their audience aligns perfectly with Wolfpack Labs investment philosophy."

Dolce & Gabbana gets fresh cash to fund bet on beauty products
Dolce & Gabbana Srl has obtained additional debt from its creditors to fund its expansion in the beauty and property sectors. See catwalk The Italian fashion house, known for its Mediterranean-inspired designs, has agreed with banks on new financing of €150 million, a representative confirmed by email. The new debt is partially guaranteed by state-backed credit insurer SACE SpA. Dolce Gabbana has also agreed to refinance its existing loans, which originally totaled €400 million but had been partially repaid, said the representative. Discussions with bank lenders had been ongoing for months, as the company looks to pivot its strategy and broaden its revenue streams. Dolce Gabbana's management is betting that its beauty business will be key if it is to remain an independent company in the rapidly shifting luxury industry. Revenue from beauty products is expected to rise more than 20% for the 12 months through the end of March 2025, said Chief Executive Alfonso Dolce in an interview with Bloomberg News earlier this year. The fashion house, like its peers, is navigating a period of uncertainty amid slowing demand for luxury goods. Some have opted for consolidation: Hong-Kong listed Prada SpA in April agreed to buy Gianni Versace Srl.
