Why I'm not surprised Topshop is on the brink of collapse
miniskirts, dresses and jackets that referenced all the high fashion trends but invariably cost less than £40. So it was with some sadness but not much surprise that I read the news this morning that Arcadia could be on the brink of collapse. It emerged today that Sir Philip Green’s talks with potential lenders to borrow money to get him through the Christmas period have failed and that administrators could be appointed on Monday, putting 13,000 jobs at risk.While Arcadia has many brands to its name - Miss Selfridge, Burton and Dorothy Perkins among them - Topshop is without doubt the jewel in its crown.
