History

Founded in 1978 as the male counterpart to Topshop, Topman became a central fixture of the British high street. It played a significant role in democratizing men’s fashion by collaborating with emerging designers through initiatives like Newgen Men. The brand gained cultural prominence during the 2000s for its association with the indie music scene. Following the collapse of the Arcadia Group in 2020, the brand was acquired by the online retailer ASOS in 2021.
