Topshop announces collaboration with Michael Halpern
Date Posted: Tuesday 21st August 2018
British fashion brand, Topshop has announced its collaboration with designer, Michael Halpern, to create a 28-piece Topshop x Halpern collection.
Following his graduation from Central Saint Martins in 2016, New York-born Michael has become integral to London’s fashion scene since debuting his Halpern Studio collection at London Fashion Week in February 2017. His glittering designs have brought him instant industry recognition, and in 2017 saw him win the British Emerging Talent – Womenswear category at The Fashion Awards. Michael's designs are a fusion of Studio 54-inspired American glamour entwined with couture house detailing. His creations are worn by strong, influential women worldwide including Adwoa Aboah, Amal Clooney, Diane Kruger, Lupita Nyong’o and Marion Cotillard.
Synonymous with the Halpern Studio's 1970’s aesthetic, the Topshop x Halpern collection promises playful partywear across neon velvet separates, printed two pieces, sequin-adorned jumpsuits and iridescent camo print mini dresses.
Topshop and Topman Global Design Director, Anthony Cuthbertson comments, 'We are thrilled to collaborate with Michael; especially at such an exciting time in his career. Our capsule embodies the disco spirit and signature feminine silhouettes he is renowned for; we can’t wait to bring the world of Halpern to Topshop with styles that will no doubt kick-start the partywear season for our customers.'
Michael comments, 'I think it’s fabulous that as a younger brand we’re able to work with Topshop, making the type of clothing we do for the main Halpern collection in an accessible way so more people can really feel the glamour. I want the whole world to feel as glam as possible, and this type of collaboration is a fantastic way to accomplish that.'
The Topshop x Halpern collection will be available in selected Topshop stores globally and online at topshop.com from early November, with prices starting at £35.
