The wait is finally over – Topshop has landed in New Zealand and I was lucky enough to go behind the scenes at today’s VIP media opening. The doors officially open to the public tomorrow (Thursday 12 March) but today local media got a sneak peek and an exclusive shopping experience. Wandering around the impressive double-level store on the corner of Queen and Victoria streets in downtown Auckland and rubbing shoulders with some of Auckland’s style-setters was pretty exciting but having the store all to ourselves was next level. I now know what it must feel like for celebrities who get given private after-hours shopping sessions – it’s amazing.
But I’m sure today was the calm before the storm. I’m guessing when the doors open for the first time tomorrow it’s going to be . . . well . . . chaos. So just in case you can’t make it along to tomorrow’s grand opening I thought I’d share a little peek at what our very first Topshop has to offer.
