Topshop and Topman are staging a runway show after a break that spanned close to a decade
Topshop and Topman are returning to the runway for the first time in years, and Topshop.com is coming back for good. In major news for fans, the high street retailer has confirmed Topshop and Topman will return to the runway for the first time in seven years this summer.
The runway show, which will be held in August and open to the public, will debut its Autumn Winter 2025 collections. As shoppers might have spotted, the website currently displays a “coming soon” notice, but fans can’t expect a change very soon.
The upcoming runway will showcase See Now, Buy Now products for Autumn Winter 2025, as well as an early preview of pieces set to drop later in the season. According to the brand, Topshop and Topman shoppers can expect a selection of seasonal styles, including formalwear, outerwear, tailoring, and denim.
The exact date and location of the show are currently under wraps. However, Topshop says it will take place at a “landmark London location”, with more details to be announced soon.
The show will be open to the public, and a street party featuring live music, DJ sets, and surprise guests will follow. Collaborating with Wilhelmina Models, London, the fashion giant has launched an Open Casting for the show, offering new, unsigned talent the opportunity to walk the runway.
Applications are now open and close on August 4, 2025. For more news about Topshop’s website launch, shoppers can sign up for the waitlist via Topshop.com. Alternatively, the current website also highlights trending styles that are available from ASOS.com now.
Topshop teased the relaunch on its Instagram earlier this year with a series of cryptic posts, which advertised the date “29.08.25” and told shoppers, “SEE YOU SOON.” At the time, the Instagram bio read: “We Missed You Too”. Now, it reads: “LOADING…”
Reacting to the initial posts, fashion lovers went wild over the news. One excited shopper commented: “What in the Topshop is going on?”
Another fan replied: “Millennials everywhere are screaming, crying and throwing up. I’m one of them.” A third wrote: “Shut the front door!!! I fear Gen Z aren’t going to understand what this means to us millennials.”
When did Topshop high street stores close down?
Topshop officially shut down its physical locations in the UK in 2021. The brand, along with other labels from the Arcadia Group, was acquired by ASOS in a transaction that excluded the physical stores. Topshop’s flagship location on Oxford Street was among the losses from this closure. Although the brand still operates online via ASOS, it no longer has a presence on the high street.
