For does any brand have quite this much pull on the generation which grew up with fast fashion at its fingertips? This chirpy, low-price brand has had its ups and downs. But for Autumn/Winter 2017 there was everything you might need, if life was divided between school and partying.

Recently, Topshop had tried to go sober with clothes that would be acceptable in the office. It does, of course, have many "grown-up" customers who can find clothes for work (and play).
