London, 17 February 2026: Topshop and Topman return to the UK high street today, launching a nationwide partnership with John Lewis that brings two of Britain’s most influential fashion brands back into physical retail.
From this week, Topshop will launch in 32 John Lewis stores, featuring a curated edit of its most in-demand pieces, from cult denim and statement jackets to trend-driven wardrobe staples. Topman will debut in seven locations, offering a sharp, modern edit of menswear essentials. In addition, after strong footwear growth in AW25, John Lewis becomes the exclusive UK physical retailer for Topshop footwear for SS26, giving customers direct in-store access to the brand’s newest and most sought-after shoe collections. Across womenswear, menswear and footwear, around 130 styles will be available in-store.
John Lewis will celebrate the launch with a series of high-impact activations. Customers can enjoy complimentary matcha in the Topshop pop in front of John Lewis Oxford street while browsing the latest styles in the “Topshop Times” newspaper.
In partnership with the British Fashion Council and coinciding with London Fashion Week, the launch will extend beyond store walls with a Piccadilly Circus takeover, featuring a live music performance. Elsewhere, engaging activations will hit the streets of Manchester and Liverpool later this month.
Michelle Wilson, Managing Director of Topshop, said:Today is about making it easier for customers to access the Topshop and Topman pieces they love. From our cult denim to new‑season footwear, you can see it, feel it and take it home the same day. Partnering with John Lewis brings Topshop back to high streets across the UK with the level of service our customers expect.
Peter Ruis, Managing Director of John Lewis, added:Topshop and Topman are brands with enormous cultural relevance, and their return to physical retail is something our customers are genuinely excited about. This partnership reflects our focus on bringing iconic names, strong style and compelling experiences into our stores.

Through these values, Topshop supports creative talent, brings the best of fashion to everyone and in doing so, brings London's unique energy and style to the world.
