Topshop is relaunching with a top London supermodel as the new face of campaign
Topshop have named model Cara Delevingne as the face of their new relaunch. The collaboration will reflect her London roots and the connection she has had with the brand for many years With many eagerly awaiting the return of Topshop, it looks like the wait is nearly over. While the brand has been exclusively at ASOS for a while now, it's largely been tucked away among the 800-plus labels they carry. But now, Topshop is stepping forward to reclaim its fashion-forward spirit, bringing a fresh energy with global style icon Cara Delevingne as the face of its relaunch. From the late '90s through the 2000s, Topshop wasn't just a store - it was a destination. It was a place where youth, style and identity collided. But after its parent company went into administration, it disappeared high streets across the United Kingdom and beyond. Now, recognising the gap it left behind, Topshop is returning with a curated 30-piece edit that captures the shared aesthetic of both Cara and the brand. The edit aims to be confident, individual and distinctly modern. Cara, chosen for her long-standing connection to the brand and as a born-and-bred Londoner, said: 'As a London girl, Topshop was the place where fashion felt fun, fearless, and full of possibilities. Coming back to Topshop now is more than a return – it's about starting something new. This collection is about owning your style, your story, and feeling empowered to express that every day.' The collection channels Cara's signature London edge - effortless yet elevated, with sharp tailoring, statement outerwear and reimagined denim staples. A monochrome palette runs through the edit, punctuated by hits of rich avocado green to give it a fresh seasonal feel. The team at Topshop described the collaboration as more than just a campaign, saying: 'It's a statement of intent as we reintroduce Topshop to the world. We're bringing together cultural relevance, design credibility, and a new energy that speaks to how people want to dress today.' Topshop's Managing Director, Michelle Wilson added that the model's involvement with the relaunch harmonised with everything Topshop is as a band. She said: 'Cara is the perfect embodiment of the Topshop spirit - bold, creative, and unapologetically herself.' she added The edit launches on on 16th August, featuring standout pieces like a bold black-and-white faux shearling coat, a cinched '80s-inspired PU jacket, and updated takes on cult-favourite denim fits like the Joni and Jamie jeans. Balancing structure and softness, the collection pairs strong silhouettes with fluid fabrics offering fashion that feels just as empowering as it looks. And this is just the beginning - Topshop and Cara have already started developing a full capsule collection for the 2026/2027 season, with a shared focus on quality materials and considered design.

He said: "I'm not talking about a standalone store. We haven't ruled out anything. Of course not'. Topshop has not had a physical presence in the UK since 2021, after ASOS snapped it up following the collapse of Sir Philip Green's Arcadia empire in a £330million deal. Since then customers have only been able to shop the clothing via the ASOS website.

THE return of Topshop to the high street has left fans in a frenzy. Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements explains what makes the brand quite so special… Topshop was so much more than a clothing brand for millennials. It is woven into the tapestry of our coming of age. For me, the love affair started pre-teens coveting Freedom jewellery mood rings and yin yang symbols on black cord necklaces that were synonymous with the 90s. But as I grew up, Topshop was with me every step of the way. From the signature everyday Jamie skinny jeans to almost all my Friday night outfits. Until Topshop, high street fashion simply imitated trends led by top designers. But the brand became the forefront of cutting edge fashion, setting trends rather than following. This was underlined by Topshop Unique becoming part of the London Fashion week schedule in 2005, featuring the likes of Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn on the runway. But nothing secured its status as a fashion leader more than its iconic collaboration with Kate Moss. A range would sell out in a matter of hours as shoppers scrambled to own THE item of the season from the vests and tassel waistcoats to pretty tea dresses and tiny denim shorts. The Oxford Circus store was a long-time mecca for fashionistas. I still remember the buzz of heading down the escalators, completely overwhelmed by the choice of clothes and not knowing quite which way to turn first, as you were plunged into retail heaven. Yes, the brand has carried on online after being bought by Asos. But it just wasn't the same. Let us millennials relive our youth and bring back those physical stores.
