Fashion News: TopShop Back on Track

We reported earlier this year that London's TopShop, a High Street favourite, was looking for a New York location to launch its American division. Since then, a wrench has beeen thrown in those plans by Nevada Apparel Corp., a New York based company that claimed U.S. rights to the name. This week, the suit was settled, and TopShop is on its way back to these shores, but New York may no longer be their  first stop. "There are points for and against," company chief Philip Green says. "New York has an element of safety but some experienced US retailers tell me it isn't a good proving ground for the rest of the US." What do they know? What a bunch of chickens.

We want whatever he's on.

*This could mean celebrity who gropes or one who gropes celebrities, but in Isaac's case, it means both!

Childlike Aussie modeling sensation Gemma Ward will make her acting debut opposite Liv Tyler in a new thriller, "The Strangers". Ironically, Ward will be playing a masked intruder terrorizing a couple. This is a good move on Ward's part, as the fashion world seems to be moving back to teenage models that look like actual grownups, thus ending a period of disturbing, Lolita-esque fashion spreads.
