Topman Design Announces 2nd Solo Show to be Held at the Royal Opera House

Topman Design has announced its second solo show, to be held at the Royal Opera House.

2010-09-05

LONDON, ENGLAND, September 05, 2010 (Press-News.org) Topman Design has announced it is to showcase its second consecutive solo show at The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden on September 22nd as part of the ever growing menswear day at London Fashion Week.

Until last season when the debut solo show was held at the official British Fashion Council (BFC) Tents, Topman Design had shown on-schedule as part of the increasingly successful MAN event which Topman set up alongside Fashion East eleven seasons ago. This season, Topman Design will share the Royal Opera House venue with MAN, whose show will follow Topman Design later in the afternoon at 12.30pm.

This season the Topman Design show will be streamed live on topman.com and www.londonfashionweek.co.uk - as well as live in the windows of Topman's famous Oxford Street store - and, for the very first time this season, a very limited number of pieces from the show will be made available to purchase on-line directly after the show at topman.com.

Topman Design is a directional premium collection which is stocked online at topman.com, the London Oxford Circus and New York Flagships as well as key international stores including La Foret in Tokyo, Incu in Sydney and Shine in Hong Kong. With a growing, almost cult following, the collections have evolved over the seasons under the creative direction of Alister Mackie of AnOther Man, a leading fashion director and superstylist, and Topman Design Director, Gordon Richardson and his dedicated and talented in-house design team.

Gordon Richardson said: "The decision to show apart from MAN last season was welcomed by both the MAN and the Menswear Panel who collectively agreed that it was the right time for us. We established a consistent design ethic and we continue to have a good following both giving us the confidence we needed to move on and allow MAN to continue to nurture new young talent which is after all its purpose."

MAN and the driving forces behind it have been credited for the rejuvenated recognition of menswear in the capital and the subsequent official Menswear Day which has been granted by the BFC and now holds a permanent position on the LFW schedule. Last season saw the welcome addition of The British Fashion Council's NewGen Men Award to which Topman remains the sole sponsor.

Jason Griffiths, Marketing Director at Topman said: "Topman's decision to show Topman Design alone again this season does not affect our investment into MAN - all investment remains the same. Topman along with Fashion East continues as normal to drive the initiative forward together along with the appointed MAN panel. It makes complete commercial sense for us in establishing Topman Design as a successful home grown premium collection which we are now wholesaling to credible stores globally."

NIH-sponsored research yields promising malaria drug candidate

2010-09-04

A chemical that rid mice of malaria-causing parasites after a single oral dose may eventually become a new malaria drug if further tests in animals and people uphold the promise of early findings. The compound, NITD609, was developed by an international team of researchers including Elizabeth A. Winzeler, Ph.D., a grantee of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health. "Although significant progress has been made in controlling malaria, the disease still kills nearly 1 million people every year, mostly ...

The secret to fish oil's anti-inflammatory properties

2010-09-04

Fish oil is touted for its anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic benefits, but scientist weren't sure how the omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil work. Now, according to a report in the September 3rd issue of the journal Cell, scientists have nailed how omega-3 fatty acids both shut down inflammation and reverse diabetes in obese mice. Omega-3s alleviate inflammation by acting on a receptor (GPR120) found in fat tissue and on inflammatory immune cells called macrophages, studies in mice show. "Omega-3s are very potent activators of GPR120 on macrophages -- more potent than ...

Study finds that cancer-causing gene crucial in stem cell development

2010-09-04

Athens, Ga. – Stem cells might be thought of as trunks in the tree of life. All multi-cellular organisms have them, and they can turn into a dazzling variety other cells—kidney, brain, heart or skin, for example. One class, pluripotent stem cells, has the capacity to turn into virtually any cell type in the body, making them a focal point in the development of cell therapies, the conquering of age-old diseases or even regrowing defective body parts. Now, a research team at the University of Georgia has shown for the first time that a gene called Myc (pronounced "mick") ...

New warning signs may predict kidney transplant failure

2010-09-04

Kidney transplants that show a combination of fibrosis (scarring) and inflammation after one year are at higher risk of long-term transplant failure, according to a study appearing in an upcoming issue of the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN). To identify these abnormalities, doctors would need to perform routine biopsies on apparently normal kidney transplants—rather than waiting for problems to occur. "Even for some transplants that would be expected to have a very long graft survival, protocol biopsies performed in the first year may indicate the ...
