EDIT: May 31, 2010: Topshop is coming to Canada via Jonathan + Olivia in Toronto

EDIT: April 6, 2010: Topshop is now shipping to Canada

Edit: Dec 8, 2009: Toronto Life has a post saying that The Bay and Topshop are in talks. We’ll see where this goes.

If you follow me on twitter you would have been some of the first people to hear about Topshop coming to Canada.

But the really good news? Asked when Topshop will be opening in Canada, Sir Philip Green, owner of the megachain that has some 2,000 stores in 30 countries, replied: “Six to nine months.” (source)

No word on location. My guesses are Yorkdale and Eaton Center.

Many people are very excited about this news. Right now I’m indifferent. I would have to see Topshop in person to make a final decision about things. I don’t want to make judgments based on the Kate Moss collection that was in Holt Renfrew because I wasn’t impressed. I also don’t want to make judgments based on the Topshop Unique Fall 2009 – 2010 collection because there were some very large fashion crimes happening.
