Fashion

Fashion on Top
After a renovation, Topshop and Topman (1-2/F, Beacon Zone, CentralWorld, 02-613-1660) has expanded its retailing space. The first floor now houses a wider variety of women’s fashion, including the latest Kate Moss’ collection. Up on the second floor is Topman’s new “Pete Doherty-inspired’ range. But still no men’s footwear. The shop also introduces its “style advisor.” Mai, a graduate from Saint Martins (yeah, again), is on hand to give a free style makeover. Sorry guys, the service is for girls only.
