Topshop coming to Cambridge amid high street return in John Lewis partnership


The iconic brand closed its final standalone high street shops in 2021

John Lewis is bringing historic brand Topshop back to high streets across the UK. The fashion brand, which closed its final standalone high street stores in 2021, will appear in all of John Lewis’s 32 department stores on Tuesday (February 17).

The major launch is part of an expansion of new brands for the upcoming spring/summer season amid John Lewis’s £800 million long-term investment across its stores.

Last year, the John Lewis Partnership confirmed a partnership between the historic department store business and Topshop, starting with pop-ups in a number of John Lewis stores.

Topshop and sister brand Topman have been missing from UK high streets since former owner Arcadia collapsed into administration in 2021. The brand was bought by current owner Asos who sold Topshop products online.

Last year the brand returned to physical retail again with a launch in London department store Liberty before revealing its tie-up with John Lewis weeks later. Topshop will be available across John Lewis’s 32 shops, with Topman available in seven of its stores.

The launch will cover a collection of 130 of Topshop’s “most in-demand pieces” including their signature denim items. Topshop and Topman products will also be available across John Lewis’s online platforms as part of the launch.

Michelle Wilson, managing director of Topshop, said: “Today is about making it easier for customers to access the Topshop and Topman pieces they love. From our cult denim to new‐season footwear, you can see it, feel it and take it home the same day.

“Partnering with John Lewis brings Topshop back to high streets across the UK with the level of service our customers expect.”

The move is coinciding with London Fashion Week and will be followed by a ‘takeover’ of Piccadilly Circus in London and activations elsewhere across the UK. The launch comes amid efforts from the department store chain to drive its growth as it continues with a major transformation plan under boss Peter Ruis.

He said the brand, which is part of the John Lewis Partnership with supermarket chain Waitrose, is investing into its fashion offer to help drive its current strategy.

Mr Ruis, managing director of John Lewis, said: “This moment marks a significant acceleration of our fashion ambition at John Lewis. To be the exclusive home of an iconic brand like Topshop, sat alongside other exciting new brands, signals our commitment to be the definitive style authority on the British high street.”

John Lewis has said it is also introducing 14 new fashion, jewellery and accessory labels ahead of this season amid efforts to expand its fashion offer. It also follows a major redesign of the fashion floors at the retailer’s Oxford Street flagship shop.

Topshop products will be available at the following John Lewis stores:

  • Glasgow, Scotland
  • Edinburgh, Scotland

  • Leeds
  • Liverpool

Whether you’d really rather not have your boiler on day and night, or your house is just plain damp no matter what you try, have a look at these condensation-busting buys we’ve found below.

‘I was influenced to buy a Dyson Airwrap – it’s a perfect Valentine’s Day gift’


I would really recommend it if you have thick frizzy hair like I do!

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve seen the hype around the Dyson Airwrap. Promising to shape, dry and curl your hair without tangles or frizz, it’s always seemed like the dream hair tool.

But with a hefty £400 price tag, I’ve never bought one, as it seemed like way too much money for what is essentially a glorified hairdryer. On a recent trip to Costco in Thurrock, I found that they were selling the Airwrap for about £280 with tax – a fraction of what it costs from the actual Dyson website.

So I decided to treat myself and see if it was really worth the hype! Full disclaimer, I have thick, pretty wavy hair that gets really frizzy if I let it air-dry on its own.

I also have a significant amount of damage from when 20-year-old me decided to dye her whole head blonde with a box dye from Superdrug. So I had pretty low hopes that the Dyson would actually do my hair how I want it to, despite the big price tag.

The Airwrap I bought came with the fast dryer attachment, a loop brush and a 40mm barrel to curl my hair. You can buy newer models with more attachments, but these are obviously more expensive.

I did some research on how to use the Airwrap most effectively after I made my purchase, and people on social media said to blow-dry your hair to about 80% dry after washing before going in with the curling barrel.

I also used the Beauty Works Dream Shine Leave In Blow Dry Formula spray after drying my hair a bit, to see if it would help hold the curls there for longer. My first impression was that the dryer is pretty strong!

I have a fair amount of hair, and my old Babyliss dryer would take about 15 minutes to dry it all. The Dyson got it to 80% dry in maybe 10, which I was very impressed with, considering how small the airflow hole is!

Then it was time to curl. The model of Dyson I bought has a little toggle on the top, so you can change the airflow direction to make the curls go the way you want them to.

I took small sections of hair, held them flat against the barrel until they caught on, and boom – the machine did the rest of the work for me! I really enjoyed not being burned by a curling iron, and I found the curling process much less sore on my arms than if I were to do it manually with a normal tool.

It was also significantly quicker. I got a full blow-out look in about 15 minutes – when I used to attempt it with a round brush and a dryer, it would take more like 45 minutes and two achy arms.

These curls held for a few hours – but I have a bad habit of touching my hair all the time, which probably made it last for a shorter period. It also definitely takes getting used to, and I’m considering buying a mouse to make the style last all day!

There are also other options if you’re looking to splurge on a fun hair-drying tool. The Shark Flex Style is a significantly cheaper option, clocking in at about £210, and the £220 Beauty Works AERIS Multi-Styler has some rave reviews too.

I do have a couple of issues with the Dyson, though. Firstly, you do need to buy products to put on your hair to make the curls hold if you have flat, frizzy hair like I do, which obviously makes the experience even more expensive. Secondly, the model I bought didn’t come with a bag to put it and all the attachments in, so I had to purchase a separate storage bag!

In summary, if you’re looking to treat yourself and want a hair tool that won’t damage your hair as much as a traditional curling iron, I would really recommend the Dyson Airwrap. I would definitely look at some reviews on TikTok or Instagram, in addition to some tutorials, to make sure you really get the most bang for your buck – but if you have a girlfriend who’s been yearning for one of these for ages, they make for a perfect Valentine’s Day gift!
