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.

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
