FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE

Ever since we saw the video for We Want To - the latest release from the New Young Pony Club's second album, The Optimist - we've wanted to dress up, go all  80s and recreate it! Tahita Bulmer looks ridiculuously fabulous ... how great would it be if she really had her own shopping channel?

BRACE YOURSELVES!

It’s been a super busy few days here at Topshop! We've just opened our Knightsbridge store opposite Harrods on 70 Brompton Road, Kate Moss' gorgeous SS10 collection has arrived, we've launched a new and exclusive range of limited-edition dresses, and our capsule collection from the insiders' go-to-label, Meadham Kirchhoff, has landed! Breathe! We told you there was a massive amount of fashion shindiggery going on!

So to celebrate our swanky new home and all the super exciting collections that are now in, last night, we threw a preview shopping event and an after party at Zuma for fashions finest! As delicious cocktails and nibbles did the rounds, there was lots of ooing and ahhing - especially over Kate’s dreamy vintage-inspired dresses.

The fun continues over the weekend so get down to Knightsbridge if you're in London! There are free personal make up consultations from our team of beauty queens; all to the sounds of pop’s best and brightest hitting the decks! Look out for We Have Band, Bleech, Sunday Girl and Billie JD! And make sure you look out for the Topshop ice cream van giving away sundaes and our very own paper around town.

SUPER DUPER CUTE!

We're head over heels! What more can we say apart from that these are back in?

DREAM WITH MEADHAM KIRCHHOFF SS10

Over the last few seasons, Benjamin Kirchhoff and Edward Meadham have made a name for themselves as the new avant-garde of the London Fashion Week schedule. Loved for their edgy, yet beautifully melancholic collections, the Central Saint Martins’ trained duo has quickly become the insiders’ go-to label for exquisite pieces that transcend seasons.

So if there's ever a reason to get up at dawn, then this is it! The designers' beautiful SS10 capsule collection, designed especially for us, is hitting Topshop.com and selected stores tomorrow. From whimsical dresses to glitter spot t-shirts, and lace-edged slips, every piece is stamped with their imitable, dreamy style.

What’s so unbelievable about these pieces is their intricacy. You won't believe how detailed this collection is until you see it with your own eyes! The tulle dresses, with their disjointed waistlines and skewed hemlines, feature lace overlays, layers of chiffon covered in glitter spots, and matte sequins that have been sewn in back-to-front.

This collection epitomises exactly what the Meadham Kirchhoff label has become loved for - incredibly beautiful, yet understated pieces that you won't find anywhere else!

RUN OF THE MILL

Last week we took ourselves off to Mill Co.'s first exhibition at the Russian Club in Hackney. A creative agency looking after photographers, graphic designers, film makers, writers, digital artists and everything in between, they've set their sights on becoming a community of creative thinkers, able to cater to their clients' every whim. We were super excited to see work by illustrators like Si Scott on show and absolutely fell in love with Ant Baena's 'All's good in the hood'.

Everything there is for sale in a bid to raise money for the Mill Co. Foundation, which brings art and art workshops to underprivileged children and young people with complex health issues, learning disabilities and life-limiting conditions. It’s running until tomorrow and is a real chance to ogle some amazing design talent, take some home at a really affordable price and do your bit for charity at the same time. Head down before it finishes and take a peek.
