While we were all eagerly waiting for the opening of Topshop‘s first US store debut, WWD announced that Topshop is running into delays and is now eyeing a November opening instead of mid-October. The delay is due to high complexity of the Soho store design, “the 40,000-square-foot site will have four selling floors; glossy shelving; futuristic lighting tubes and a DJ booth, both suspended from the ceiling; an army of mannequins; a shoe lounge; 32 changing rooms, and a VIP suite for celebrity clientele”.

SADNESS! But to make up for it, Topshop will be launching a US dollar version of its e-commerce site on September 9th, the same day of the release of the Kate Moss Topshop fall collection. “Topshop is offering a free Kate Moss charity T-shirt to the first U.S. customers spending more than $50 on the site. For each T-shirt given, a $5 donation will be made to the Starlight Children’s Foundation. Topshop has 2,000 T-shirts available to give away.” We’ll just have to settle with the e-commerce site till the Soho store opens, at least we don’t have to pay for international shipping charges!
