Topshop Topman Fever

Upon its first launch in September 2011 in Vancouver and Toronto, Topshop Topman- a U.K.-based retailer- debuted with a successful capsule collection which has now marked their place in the Canadian fashion scene. Topshop introduces fashion for women and has featured iconic names such as Celia Birtwell and Kate Moss, with Topman targeting its intended market as the brand name implies. Currently located on the second floor at The Bay’s downtown Vancouver location on 674 Granville Street, Topshop Topman are now spreading their fashion virus and infecting Vancouverites all around. Just when Vancouver thought it was over, the Topshop Topman brand will soon contaminate more than 33,000 sq. ft., approximately an entire floor of The Bay in October 2012, becoming the largest international Topshop and Topman store-within-a-store in Canada.

Having high expectations for an increase in foot traffic, The Bay will be giving extra special treatment for this recently acclaimed international brand. The venue will introduce an escalator that will exclusively connect Granville Street directly to the Topshop Topman entrance. The entire floor will feature their entire portfolio, in addition to premium lines such as Boutique Unique and TM Ltd., as well as exclusive designer collections and collaborated collections that feature Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld, jewellery designer Pamela Love, and British designer Mary Katrantzou.
