Topshop Unique Spring / Summer 2017

LONDON — Fast fashion invites no small amount of criticism from a variety of concerned interests within society from labour to environment and were these words written anywhere other than a model management blog, then surely more would follow. This is page of course is about models, a half a dozen in fact from across the Next network including, Lineisy Montero, Selena Forrest, Grace Elizabeth, Alanna Arrington, Wangy Xin Yu and Marjan Jonkman who walked in the Topshop Unique Spring / Summer 2017 runway show earlySunday afternoon at Old Spitafields Market. Kate Phelan took inspiration from British visual artist Linder Sterling to create collection for spring that is supremely wearable for the Topshop Unique girl and the high street consumer she is meant to describe. The show was good fun too, set amidst the myriad food vendors at the market, not to mention Topshop’s own purpose-built stalls for the show. This is where fashion, the fast sort especially, happens and to that end Topshop has done its research well.
