About Last Night... Topshop/Topman Opening, Part III

NEXT »

Yesterday morning, promptly at 11 a.m., the front door slowly opened to reveal Sir Phillip Green and Kate Moss on a pedastal, looking like a wedding cake topper, officially christening the Topshop/Topman store in SoHo. It was pretty amazing to see Broadway closed to traffic from Broome to Grand, one could almost hear cries of "the British are coming!" Earlier, PAPERMAG had stopped to speak to young, trendy Londoners Francesca, Lucy, Pia, Kate, Toni, Louise and Natasha, who had been camping out on the street, and were the first on line waiting for the store to open. When asked if it was to see Kate Moss or the clothes, in unison they yelled: "The clothes!"

Later that evening, the festivities of the past several days wrapped up at The Box with an after-party of hijinks and high spirits starring Kate Moss, J. Lo, Marc Anthony, Blake Lively, Penn Badgley, The Greens, but no Mickey Boardman, who was among the "missing in action" cause he was in India judging the Miss India pageant!
