If you can not Kate Moss (Kate Moss) to conquer the United States, then who can you rely on? In the past two decades, the billionaire, the British entrepreneur Sir Philip Green (Philip Green) in one fell swoop changed the pattern of the British retail industry, with the rapid changes in fashion low-cost strategy, in particular the increasing prevalence of the Show, the Green's Topshop chain (And the price of its popular degrees are quite similar to Club Monaco).

Was a shoe salesman rely on the hope that the Green Moss astonishing appeal across the U.S. market. After all, Moss is a well-deserved fashion, "Viagra." She tried to think as some personal problems (but very influential popular culture), "The Beatles" band. Both of her trouble-ridden rock star boyfriend, was arrested for his own use of illegal drugs, can not weaken her influence. She has become a growth strategy for Topshop, a major component. Topshop is on the Green in 2002 to 1.6 billion acquisition of Arcadia Group Ltd. When they bought together. The so-called fashion chain stores in the United Kingdom has more than 300 shops in the autumn of this year in the United States to open the first store, Green's Topshop chain has a number of overseas will be more than 100.
