SO. EXCITED.

There's not been a lot of work going on here today, because pretty much all day we've been glued to the live stream of SHOWstudio's first film of the year. Starring ultra-cool model Karlie Kloss, the film showed behind-the-scenes footage of photography royalty Nick Knight shooting a catalogue of our designer collaborations. The pieces that have been created by NEWgen winners just for you found their way onto the film and we've been entranced. In fact, seeing Karlie pulling moves in Mary Katrantzou's collection was almost more than we could handle - the pieces are incredible and we can't wait for them to touch down in February! Mary's signature prints are in evidence, as well as her beautiful Pheasant Dream dress, which absolutely every girl at Topshop HQ is lusting after. A flash of colour and and a dash of style perfection - we don't think we've ever been so excited!

WE'VE ALL GONE SOUTH PACIFIC

It’s time to inject a bit of desert island cool into your wardrobe with our latest collection, South Pacific. Maroon yourself on style isle with Hawaiian hibiscus and baroque patterns on tie-front shirts and hanky-hem skirts, and don’t be surprised to find a flash of wild animal print stalking into view! Relaxed T-shirt dresses and cute bralets sit next to chic bodycon numbers and luxe sportswear, while acid brights and gold detailing are enjoying their moment on the sun-drenched beaches of fashion.

WE WANT A LABRAPOTAMUS!

Here at Topshop HQ we're desperate for an office pet and now we think we've found the perfect one! It's half labrador and half hippopotamus and is the brainchild of London-based Illustrator Iain Hector.

We spent a while this afternoon browsing his website, sort of wishing we could own a Flamenguin, a Toucanzee or a Puffalo and loving the idea behind the images. Which of his mixed up animals do you love the most?

SNEAK PEEK AT SS12!

Yes, it's a new year and our new season collections are starting to land. We've already tried and failed to stop ourselves buying almost every single piece in Surf Luxe and now we're ready to start all over again with the next one that's launching this week. We couldn't resist giving you a sneaky peek at what's to come - we just know you'll be as excited as we are!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

From all of us at Topshop, here's wishing you the happiest New Year of all!
