Meadham Kirchhoff for Topshop: Wish you were there?

A recent interview with Topshop‘s Kate Phelan revealed that the creative director plans to make its designer collaborations bigger and better. “I think before, the collaborations have always been seen as something quite small compared to the rest of the business.

Although Louise Gray can do toned down too – remember the lush blues and reds of her Brora collab? (more…)
