Topman Offers Delicious Black Trousers
For New York Debut

Across the Atlantic Topman has been forging new grounds in the realm of high street/designer collaborations opting to price up rather than down ensuring a quality and standard closer to the designer originals. While I enjoyed Tim Hamilton and Loden Dager at Uniqlo, the high profit margin and cheaper production didn’t make for the most desirable clothes despite the low prices. Topman has simplified the process and enlisted 5 young designers to develop a lone pair of black pants in their own signature style, all retailing for a mere $120 (well below any of the designer’s normal retail). Tim Hamilton, Patrik Ervell, Aitor Throup, Anne-Sofie Back, and Todd Lynn will have their designs available at the new Topshop and Topman flagship at 478 Broadway when it opens in October.

And of course, this is only a taster as in November we’ll be privy to H&M’s collaboration with it’s Japanese design partner. I’ll give you a hint: they play like the boys…. — JEREMY L.
