"London is a fashion capital, it’s famed for its creativity, and I think that is something that is really inherent in Topshop. As we look at our brand positioning globally, that's the ethos we want to take to these new territories – the creativity and the energy of London," she said.

Sauvaire added that Topshop will look to expand its partnerships with emerging technology developers: "For many years we have supported up and coming talent, through our designers, photographers and make-up artists. Another area of creativity is the whole tech space, and there are a number of app developers and videographers that we’re looking at supporting."
