Known as a fashion authority that captures the spirit of London culture, the new chapter of TOPSHOP and TOPMAN will introduce reinvigorated collections with a laser focus on quality, design, fit and fabric. This means continuing to elevate and evolve the brand’s most popular categories, such as denim, dresses and tailoring, but pushing boundaries to ensure TOPSHOP and TOPMAN empower people to self-express through their choice of clothing.

The lawsuit was launched on the premise that Topshop customers would assume Rihanna endorsed the company, that would lead to a false representation of her celebrity image and increased tensions with her then endorsement deal with River Island, a high-street rival. [83] Judge Justice Birss agreed that customers would likely be deceived into believing it had the singer's approval. Topshop launched an appeal to the High Court, accusing Rihanna of wrongfully advocating that: "only a celebrity may ever market his or her own character" [84] and Judge Justice Birss of misreading the law on "celebrity merchandising". [85] The appeal was rejected unanimously at the Court of Appeal in London on 22 January 2015 [86]
