It’s a well known fact that the best things come in groups of 10. 10 years define a decade, we have 10 fingers and thumbs, there’s 10 protons and neutrons in the neon atom and, obv your favourite, 10 Magazine. And now, Topshop, with 10 days of exclusive pop-ups and in store experiences, elegantly titled ‘Topshop & Guests’. Starting today until 5th June 2017 in their flagship store, (a mere stretch away from our office) such delights will include British faux fur aficionados Shrimps and Brooklyn-based jewellery brand Catbird appearing in bricks and mortar form for the first time in the UK with their very own pop-up stores. I know what you’re thinking, “Faux fur! But I’ve just made way for my slinky summer wardrobe!” But fear, not, they will feature ‘Shrimps Silkies’, a capsule collection of pure silk printed pieces. And, though we know we are VIP by nature, now you can be VIP by name as on 30th May Vogue contributing editor and wonderous brain behind Fanpages magazine, Bay Garnett, will host private personal shopping appointments in Topshop’s VIP suites. Ooooo. There’s more; on 31st May, Refinery29’s UK Fashion Editor, Alice Casely-Hayford, will present a summer trend talk in Topshop’s Personal Shopping area. Ahhhh. All tickets can be applied for via www.topshop.com/guests.
