Demographics Topshop is part of the Arcadia Group, a British multi fashion house owned by Sir Phillip Green. Topshop was founded in 1964 as a youth fashion brand. First retailing inside a department store called Peter Robinson in Sheffield. It’s success within the department store lead to Topshop opening its first independent store in 1970. That same year the brand launched its first menswear range (Topman). In 1973 Topshop announced a division within its womenswear collection; splitting it into two collections. One to be known as ‘Topshop’ and the other ‘Peter Robinson’ The aim of this division was for Topshop to focus on a younger target audience (14-25 year olds) and for the Peter Robinson collection to target the over 25’s. Topshop is now known as a very successful young, trendy and must go to store. Topshop stores are continuously growing in profit and sales, most high streets across the UK now have a Topshop store or department. Topshop currently have over 300 stores in the UK, its flagship store located on Oxford St, London. (Arcadia, 2017) DEMOGRAPHICS Majoring in up-to-the minute affordable fashion; Topshop’s irreverent and brave approach has endeared the brand to fashion conscious shoppers and industry insiders alike. Appealing to professionals, students and high profile A-List stars alike. Topshop unites women through their desire for the latest forward thinking trends. Shoppers can enjoy both the stores exclusive cult status and accessibility. “Officially our target market is 16-30-year-old women, but internally we target everyone who loves fashion, regardless of age or income. I think the biggest change (in the high street since the 1970s) is one the consumers have driven, in that they are much more fashion-savvy these days, and demand much more than they did. The impact of the media has meant that everyone knows what the celebrities are wearing, where they got it, what the designers are showing on the catwalk and son on, so they want a bit of it too.” – Jane Shepherdson, previous brand manager for Topshop. Topshop has a varied demographic due to its appeal to a wide range of individuals in a varied professions or points of life. With this is mind they offer a variety of products and services in order to accommodate for the diverse audience they draw in. To reach over their difference markets they have three key lines: ‘mainline’, ‘boutique’ and ‘unique’. These all have varied price points, demonstrating their varied audiences.

The appellants (collectively “Topshop”) own and operate the well known Topshop retail fashion stores. In 2012 Topshop began to sell in its stores and through its website a fashion t-shirt displaying a clearly recognisable image of Rihanna. The image was derived from a photograph of Rihanna which was taken when she was on a video shoot for a single from her “Talk That Talk” album. Rihanna is looking directly at the camera with her hair tied above her head with a headscarf. It is, as the judge thought, a striking image and similar images had been used by Rihanna in connection with the Talk That Talk album.

  • Rihanna V Topshop & Passing Off: a Love/Hate Relationship
    Crefovi was a speaker at 2013 Cosmetic compliance summit in London The new European Union EU(‟”) cosmetics regulation entered into force on 11 July 2013. Many, in the cosmetics industry, are still confused over the exact wording of the regulation, which nonetheless implies tightening safety controls and information on cosmetic products. This topic was debated during the 2013 Cosmetic compliance summit, in London, on 15 October 2013. The Cosmetic compliance summit was Europe’s first two day event dedicated entirely to the EU cosmetic regulation and its implications. This summit gave brand owners, cosmetic designers and formulators, as well as cosmetics manufacturing companies, a chance to network, share best practices, discuss obstacles and overcome some of the biggest challenges the cosmetics industry faces today. Key industry professionals met in London at the Cosmetic compliance summit to discuss the surrounding issues, on 15 and 16 October 2013. Annabelle Gauberti, founding and managing partner of Crefovi, an expert on the law of luxury goods, spoke on Wednesday 16 October 2013, at the Cosmetic compliance summit, about the legal aspects of the EU Cosmetic products regulation and about how to become legally compliant with this EU regulation. You can watch her presentation here: While there is ample information in the industry surrounding the cosmetic products regulation, from a manufacturer and safety perspective, there is less available discussing the legal implications this regulation throws up. Hear from a leading legal professional on the key areas you need to be focusing on from a legal point of view, in this webcast recorded during the 2013 Cosmetic compliance summit in London, on 15 October 2013.

  • The Aesthetics of Mainstream Androgyny
    The Aesthetics of Mainstream Androgyny: A Feminist Analysis of a Fashion Trend Rosa Crepax Goldsmiths, University of London Thesis submitted for the degree of Ph.D. in Sociology May 2016 1 I confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Rosa Crepax Acknowledgements I would like to thank Bev Skeggs for making me fall in love with sociology as an undergraduate student, for supervising my MA dissertation and encouraging me to pursue a PhD. For her illuminating guidance over the years, her infectious enthusiasm and the constant inspiration. Beckie Coleman for her ongoing intellectual and moral support, all the suggestions, advice and the many invaluable insights. Nirmal Puwar, my upgrade examiner, for the helpful feedback. All the women who participated in my fieldwork for their time, patience and interest. Francesca Mazzucchi for joining me during my fieldwork and helping me shape my methodology. Silvia Pezzati for always providing me with sunshine. Laura Martinelli for always being there when I needed, and Martina Galli, Laura Satta and Miriam Barbato for their friendship, despite the distance. My family, and, in particular, my mum for the support and the unpaid editorial services. And finally, Goldsmiths and everyone I met there for creating an engaging and stimulating environment. Thank you. Abstract Since 2010, androgyny has entered the mainstream to become one of the most widespread trends in Western fashion. Contemporary androgynous fashion is generally regarded as giving a new positive visibility to alternative identities, and signalling their wider acceptance. But what is its significance for our understanding of gender relations and living configurations of gender and sexuality? And how does it affect ordinary people's relationship with style in everyday life? Combining feminist theory and an aesthetics that contrasts Kantian notions of beauty to bridge matters of ideology and affect, my research investigates the sociological implications of this phenomenon.
