ASOS has announced that Topshop and Topman are set to return to physical retail for the first time since their collapse, having secured an exclusive in-store residency at Liberty from 28 August.
The move marks a new chapter for the Arcadia-owned brands, which have been online-only since 2021. The collection will debut inside Liberty’s Tudor-style building in Soho, close to Topshop’s former Oxford Street flagship.
The partnership is being positioned as a “meeting point of two iconic British names”, combining Liberty’s history of fashion curation with Topshop’s attempt to re-establish itself on the high street.
Michelle Wilson, managing director of Topshop, said: “We’re thrilled to return to UK stores through Liberty – a brand that shares our passion for creativity, nurturing talent and pushing boundaries. This launch is about reconnecting with our community in real life.”
Liberty’s buying and merchandising director Lydia King said the collaboration would offer customers “something unexpected”.
King added: “Partnering with Topshop and Topman brings a new layer to [our] experience.”
The in-store edit will include tailoring, denim, dresses and everyday basics, alongside a visual takeover of the Liberty atrium.
