This week, Topshop Unique graced the catwalks of London Fashion Week with their new S/S12 collection, and I absolutley could not wait to see the images (seeing as I sadly couldnt attend this year- work commitments!). I love the Topshop Unique label for one very obvious reason – the garments are that little bit ‘off the wall’ and individual – hence the brand name ‘Topshop Unique’ – and immitate that high-end designer look.
