It certainly is exciting that Topshop has finally reached NZ shores*, (even if it is a small collection within another store). Once merely a British High St brand, Topshop is now loved worldwide, for a variety of reasons. Here are a few of mine:
Firstly - It is a brand that really lets you play with fashion, offering a phenomenal collection of garments from the sublime to the ridiculous.
Second - Topshop is well known for it's support of up-&-coming designers, giving many fledgling labels a foothold in the industry that it would have been virtually impossible for them to gain otherwise.
But the thing I love about the brand the most is that it allows many of us the opportunity to own a slice of designer heaven that would normally be well out of our reach (for example the Christopher Kane designed dress above)! Yes - god bless those wonderful designer collaborations! And god bless Topshop!!!

* I should note that while Topshop arrived in New Zealand months ago, it only recently made its way to Wellington. Thank you to you Karen Walker!
