One word: Topshop (technically, two words put together to make one, but whose counting?)
*sigh*
How excited was I to see the article complete with pics in WWD this morning. I mean, we all knew that Topshop was on it's way...but any word breathed about it always gets my feathers ruffled.
Details:
*The first US location of Topshop will be at 478 Broadway.
*It is due to open in Mid-October this year (get yer elbow pads on, girls...and guys for there will be a Topman).
*And the best news of all? It will NOT be 'Americanized'. Yup, British fashion in all its glory, not watered down, not with a spoonful of sugar...the real deal. Yay!
*They also intend to keep the same pricing...no fleecing the Americans for the sweet import goods. Hooray! Topshop is about midrange in price....I shopped there when I was a young starving artist in England, so you won't necessarily go into debt.
*There's plenty of room for all of us: 40,000 square feet, 32 changing rooms, shoe lounge (yay!), and VIP suite for celebs (if that applies to you...email me!)
*And hey, it also saves you the price of a plane ticket...and you don't have to deal with the rising cost of the london underground and the throngs of people at Oxford Circus. It's just now you have to deal with the throngs of people in Soho.
*carefull tho kids, Like H&M, Topshop introduces new styles nearly daily....it could become very addicting.

Ooo this is good news. I wanted to order stuff from the UK but wasn't sure it was a good idea since I wasn't familiar w. their stuff. I'm looking forward to the store!
Oh yes....I think we're all chomping at the bit...and as one who was a patron of the London (and Brighton) store, I can tell you that it's mecca.
