New York's New Topshop: Report From The Ground

Posted 4/3/09 3:55 pm EST by in Fashion

By Angelique Smith

Talk about leg work! I stood in the line wrapped around Broome and Broadway, anticipating the opening of Topshop for about an hour yesterday. Brushing economic misery aside, my fellow shoppers and I chatted about our excitement, despite the store's twice delayed opening. Many wanted to get a feel for the prices; some wanted to dive head-first into the loud music and bold British fashions.

Several people were holding on tight to the gift cards that had been handed out all over the city, stuffed in a canvas bag filled with more Topshop goodies, prior to the grand opening. Some of the cards were worth up to $500, some just $5, but the catch was that they were only redeemable on the day of the opening.

So, there I was, finally at the door, stepping into the first American branch of the store. This 100-year-old building in SoHo was renovated into a four-story mayhem of sequence, feathers, floral prints, zippers, stilettos, leather, denim and fringes: every girl's dream. I have never seen such British bling in the hands of New York shoppers. I must say, this glam-o-house was worth the wait and all the hype.

While many were disappointed in their $10 gift cards after an hourlong wait, I took my $5 gift card, added to my 10 percent student discount (available for all students, all year), and walked out with a reduced-priced black sweater with leather patches and fringes — the next best thing in my closet from the next best place to shop in the Big Apple.

Kate Moss Introduces Topshop To The States

Posted 4/2/09 6:37 pm EST by in Fashion

By Kathleen Newman-Bremang

Good things come from Britain — Duffy, Adele, Robert Pattinson and now, London street style has finally hit Broadway. Topshop is here!

Calm down, ladies (and gentlemen): The wait is over. Fashionistas all over the city have been salivating in anticipation of the opening of the NYC flagship store. The British retailer (think H&M meets Zara, but better) is known in the U.K. for offering an affordable — but just as stylish — alternative to high-priced designers.

Topshop enlisted the help of model Kate Moss to mark the Manhattan debut. The supermodel teamed up with Arcadia Group chairman Sir Philip Green this morning to help celebrate the store's opening. The duo browsed the store and showed off all the pretty clothes.

Aside from that recognizable pout and notoriously slim figure, Moss is famous for her unmistakable style. Now we can all dress like Moss. Score! The model is bringing her British flavor to the masses with her very own headline label for Topshop. Don't worry: We're sure the line comes in sizes that will fit the rest of us.

Moss swears the line consists of stuff she'd actually wear. "It's what I like, it's the dream thing that I say, 'Oh, I want a dress that I can throw on the beach and still look glamorous,' but it's not a big number, but I still feel sexy," Moss told The Associated Press at the opening.

Moss also shared why she decided to turn her passion for fashion into a business endeavor. "I love fashion," she said. "I think I loved it before I started modeling, and I always used to go into my mum's wardrobes and clear out flares and cut them up and make them into skirts. And I've always just really liked it and dressing up and I dress up my friends and we all dress up and that's fun. I just think it's fun."

The Topshop store is massive. It spans four floors and even includes a DJ booth hanging from the ceiling, because there's nothing like jamming to suspended beats while you're browsing for new jeans. The NYC store is just the first of up to 15 they plan to open in the U.S. Watch out, H&M: Topshop's coming for your costumers!

The Best And Worst 2009 Kids' Choice Fashion

Posted 3/29/09 10:07 am EST by in Fashion

The Jonas Brothers and "Twilight" may have been the hot topics of Saturday night's 2009 Kids' Choice Awards, but casual chic was the fashion feel.

Sure, a bunch of the ladies got dazzled up, but there was still a relaxed feeling about their get-ups. And the guys, for the most part, favored jeans and t-shirts... though sometimes the show's host, Dwayne Johnson, favored no shirt at all!

Here are our favorite looks (and one not-so-favorite):

Miley Cyrus: Her white tiered dress certainly looked crisp and clean on the red carpet, but it was her hot orange mini, asymmetrical dress that really dazzled. Why? Because it's easy to shine in such an eye-catching color.

Britney And MJ: Enough With The Circus Theme Already!

Posted 3/25/09 2:56 pm EST by in Fashion

Dear Britney, MJ and assorted pop stars of the universe,

Enough with the circus theme already. Seriously, we get it: You're launching your big arena tour, and you want an over-the-top show that also doubles as a metaphor for just how trying and crazy your life is ... so, of course, you go big-top (or maybe you just want to wear one of those ringmaster getups). Britney did it, Pink did it too, and while they were a little corny, they worked.

But now it appears that Michael Jackson is trying to get in on the circus shtick too for his upcoming string of sold-out shows at London's O2 Arena, and we're just going to come out and say it: The circus is over.

And it's all MJ's fault.

Britney Spears' Top Five Outfits From Circus Tour

Posted 3/24/09 5:03 pm EST by in Britney Spears, Fashion

By Ashley Mastronardi

Not only did Britney Spears kill it last night at her concert at New York's Nassau Coliseum, she looked amazing! Her blonde locks were flowing and her body was in tip-top shape. But it was her over-the-top costumes that made her rock-hard frame look all the better. Here are my top five favorite Circus concert looks:

5) Pasty Britney: No, Britney doesn't need a tan — she actually seemed to be wearing pasties, like strippers wear. Britney shook her stuff while wearing black tassels that were attached to an S&M-inspired sparkly body suit. It was a little X-rated for the 8-year-old girls sitting next to me, but the guys in my section didn't seem to mind!

Kanye West's Louis Vuitton Sneakers Inspired By 'Dune'

Posted 1/23/09 12:35 pm EST by in Fashion, Kanye West

By Steven Roberts

You know, most interns have to do the grunt work: grab coffee, refill the copier and go on runs. Usually, they don't complain, because in the end, it's all about the experience, right? Well leave it to Kanye West to outshine interns everywhere.

Late last year, West announced that he wanted to be an intern at Louis Vuitton. While many are skeptical about that, he's already collaborated with the French luxury brand to release his own line of five sneakers.

(Check out Kanye in his new kicks, after the jump!)
