The iconic British brand Topshop has officially relaunched with a standalone website and plans for new physical stores after a five-year hiatus. The comeback featured a high-profile runway show in London’s Trafalgar Square, drawing attention from both Gen Z and older fashion fans. Collections include stylish monochrome teddy coats, structured suits, faux fur, and standout accessories — a sign that the brand aims to balance trendiness with sophistication.

In response to a softening economy and changing consumer sentiment, China is witnessing a surge in demand for pre-owned luxury fashion. Platforms like ZZER and Super Zhuanzhuan have seen their markets grow about 35% in 2025, as shoppers—particularly millennials and Gen Z—turn to gently used designer goods as a more affordable and sustainable means of self-expression.

The French Senate has passed a revised law aiming to regulate ultra fast fashion platforms like Shein and Temu. The regulation sets high environmental penalties—up to €10 per item or 50% of its pre-tax price by 2030—for brands that fail to meet sustainability standards. European fast fashion platforms may face stricter requirements than domestic brands, reshaping the landscape of low-cost high-volume fashion.
