Topshop and Topman are making a High Street comeback
From February 2026, the label will be available in 36 John Lewis stores nationwide, marking a major step in the brand’s revival
Topshop, the iconic British fashion brand, is making a much-anticipated return to the High Street.
The brand’s spring collection will hit the shelves at 36 John Lewis stores from February 2026. Six stores will carry the brand’s menswear counterpart Topman.
From its heyday in the 1990s and 2000s, Topshop was a high-street favourite for trendy, adorable fashion. At its peak, the brand was a household name, defining youth culture with cutting-edge styles and high-profile collaborations.
Changing retail habits forced stores to close in 2021. Asos acquired the rights shortly after, keeping the Topshop brand alive as a solely online.
In September, Asos sold its majority stake to Danish retail tycoon Anders Holch Povlsen, paving the way for the brand’s reinvention. John Lewis will curate the new Topshop spring collection, which features 120 pieces.
“Customers absolutely want to see us back in stores, and we want to bring that nationwide,” managing director of Topshop and Topman Michelle Wilson told BBC News. The move signals a renewed focus on physical retail after years of online-only presence.
The brand celebrated a high-profile relaunch with a fashion show last month in Trafalgar Square. The event combined vibrant runway energy with a nod to the brand’s heritage, showcasing key pieces from the new spring collection and generating buzz ahead of its store reopening.
The move follows a Topshop residency at Liberty in London, just steps from its former Great Marlborough Street store. With its return to bricks-and-mortar retail, Topshop aims to reclaim its place on the high street. By blending nostalgia with contemporary fashion it hopes to reaffirm its status as a British retail icon.
