Topshop Launches 17-Piece Capsule With British Designer Talia Byre, From £30
Topshop has launched a 17-piece capsule collection with British womenswear label Talia Byre, with prices ranging from £30 to £260.
The collection, available now on Topshop.com, marks the first collaboration between the two brands and brings Talia Byre’s signature use of colour, stripes and considered design to a much wider audience.
Knitwear takes centre stage, including superfine merino wool V-neck jumpers in green and ecru stripes, a coordinating wool scarf and a striped cowl-back dress. The range also features leather wedge boots and backless brogues, both first showcased on Talia Byre’s spring/summer 2027 runway show, ‘TUFF’, during London Fashion Week in September.
Other pieces include studded jeans, a placket denim shirt and an off-white leather jacket. The collection comes in UK sizes 4–18 and XS–XL, with footwear in sizes 4–7.
“I’ve always loved that my clothes become an everyday part of my customers’ wardrobes, so partnering with Topshop felt like a natural fit,” said Talia Lipkin-Connor, founder and creative director of Talia Byre. She added that the pieces feel “special, expressive and accessible.”
Michelle Wilson, managing director of Topshop, described Lipkin-Connor as “one of the most exciting voices in British fashion today,” praising her “distinctive creative perspective and an incredible eye for colour, craft and silhouette.” The campaign was shot by Maxime Bony in North London.
The partnership continues a run of designer collaborations since Topshop relaunched its standalone website in 2025, following collections with Tolu Coker in March and a 16-piece capsule with Cara Delevingne in August.

Unfiltered Wisdom Launches in Los Angeles With Apparel Made for Gen X Women
A new Los Angeles brand is designing for the women fashion forgot. Unfiltered Wisdom has launched its e-commerce platform with a curated selection of humour-driven apparel and lifestyle products made specifically for women over 40.
The brand takes aim at what it calls a significant gap in the marketplace: Gen X women remain underserved by the retail and lifestyle industries despite their substantial purchasing power. Its answer is apparel with sharp humour and straightforward messaging — designs and slogans that reflect the lived experience of women in midlife, moving away from generic inspirational language in favour of wit and honesty.
“The women we serve have spent decades building careers, raising families, navigating change, and discovering who they are,” the brand said at launch. “We’ve earned our wisdom, developed a sense of humour about life, and reached a point where we’re comfortable being ourselves. Unfiltered Wisdom celebrates that confidence, individuality, and the freedom to live life on our own terms.”
The brand treats its products as more than merchandise: they are vehicles for self-expression, aimed at women who have reached the stage of life where authenticity takes priority over accommodation.
