The coming together of two British fashion institutions is a glorious thing, and Topshop made a triumphant return to the high street today as John Lewis announced that the much-loved brand will be available not just online, but in 32 of its stores across the country.
For those who grew up on a fashion diet of Jamie and Joni jeans, but haven't quite managed to gel with Topshop's largely online only presence, the ability to try on and see the clothes in real life once more opens up this nostalgic brand to its original customer and beyond and the spring collection is a welcome mix of old favourites (denim), capsule wardrobe heroes and fashion-forward looks that are thoughtfully translated for everyday wear.
