Topshop, one of the UK’s most beloved brands, is set to return to the high street following its collapse in 2021.
From February 2026, Topshop clothing will be back in 32 John Lewis shops across the country, while the menswear arm of the brand, Topman, will be available in six locations.
Both brands will also be available to buy online on the John Lewis website.
The high street revival comes after Arcadia Group, which owned Topshop, along with major retailers Debenhams, Miss Selfridge and Dorothy Perkins, collapsed into administration in 2021.
The collapse saw 70 Topshop stores close and around 2,500 retail workers lose their jobs.
Topshop is best known for its iconic “Joni jean” – skinny, ultra-high-waisted jeans which every girl had in their cupboard in the 2010s, as well as the “Ivy Park” collaboration collection with singer Beyonce and collections in partnership with Kate Moss.
Asos, an e-commerce retailer, bought the Topshop and Miss Selfridge brands in 2021 in a £330 million deal, going on to exclusively sell collections from the brands online on the Asos website.
The Topshop revival kicked off in August, when both Topshop and Topman returned to the runway for the first time in seven years.
A runway was set up in Trafalgar Square to celebrate the launch of Topshop.com and showcase the brand’s Autumn/ Winter 2025 collections.
Topshop described its AW 25 women’s collection as “all about sharp tailoring, statement outerwear, standout dresses and must-have denim,” while the men’s Topman collection focused on “modern utility”, refined formal wear and “casual wear grounded by authentic denim”.
The women’s looks did not disappoint – polka dots, cow print and tailored silhouettes dominated the runway.
Topshop’s return to the high street was kicked off by an in-store residency at Liberty London, while the new John Lewis deal will see the brand return to shops nationwide.
Other London locations which will stock Topshop include seven stores in Brent Cross, Stratford, Canary Wharf, Oxford Street, Peter Jones, White City, and Kingston.
Topman collections will be available at six stores in Bluewater, Cambridge, Cardiff, Leeds, Reading and Newcastle.
Peter Ruis, managing director of John Lewis said: “We think this is something people will queue outside the door for.”
John Lewis has pledged to commit £800 million in an investment programme across its estate to develop the retailer’s fashion division.
Other upgrades include work on beauty departments, retail renovations and new dining spaces.
