Launched in 2001, Topshop Unique is the higher-up ready-to-wear offshoot from the major British fast-fashion label. The Unique line, like the mass-market collection, is consistently altering its aesthetic to suit trend—think breezy, beachy looks one year, ultra-eighties “Bananarama” the next. However, A-line dresses, voluminous coats, and billowy trousers are signatures. The label made its runway debut at London Fashion Week in 2005.
“To be honest, it's nicer designing for the high street. It's about reality, not about designing for lady so-and-so.”—Karen Bonser Retail Week
“Topshop Unique is what cool girls and rock chicks wear in London.”—Fashion Week Daily
