It’s been four years since big Topshop closed its doors,and I think I speak for all millennials when I say we never really got over it.

But finally,our prayers have been answered: Topshop is back on the UK high-street.

It might not be exactly what you had in mind though.

It’s all thanks to a collaboration with Liberty,the famous department store on Regent’s Street,a mere stone’s throw from where big Topshop used to be.

The brand teased a UK stockist in an Instagram video,posted 19 August,which appeared to reveal the recognisable Liberty storefront.

Comments on the post quickly noticed the setting,and questioned whether Liberty would be the first to have Topshop’s AW25 collection on the rails.

The news was then later confirmed by Liberty’s group buying and merchandising director,Lydia King.

‘Topshop was such a cultural destination for Oxford Circus and Soho,so I think our location is very important,’ Lydia told Ellle UK.

‘This whole area is obviously steeped in such history and it’s really buzzing at the moment.

‘To be a part of [Topshop’s] return,when there’s so much nostalgia about the location,and the brand,and the cultural moment,is really exciting.’

It’s not the first time Liberty and Topshop have joined forces. Fans of the Kate Moss for Topshop collections will remember the 2009 range,which featured Liberty prints on babydoll dresses and cami tops.

The Topshop comeback

While Topshop items have been available online via ASOS,shopping online has never quite replicated that buzz of spending hours in the giant shop.

But earlier this year,rumours began to swirl that the iconic fashion brand was making a comeback.

Cryptic Instagram posts back in March left fans ‘crying,screaming,throwing up’,convinced that a bricks and mortar store was coming back.

Only,it turned out to be the return of a dedicated Topshop website,as well as a runway show in Trafalgar Square on August 16.

Is this new development one step closer to getting a standalone Topshop store back? Only time will tell.

But for now,millennials assemble,grab your Jonis,and head to Soho.
