For you Vancouver girls (and guys) yearning for London and New York fashions – relief is here. Topshop and Topman Canada is opening in Vancouver on October 18 and we've partnered with them to bring you the lowdown.

Topshop stores have been a fashion staple in the UK for over four decades, from shows at London Fashion Week to collaborations with Christopher Kane and Kate Moss. Their focus is style-setting pieces, which are ready-to-wear and easy to mix-and-match. The British invasion is now coming to Canada with flagship stores opening in Vancouver and Toronto in October.

Why are we so excited? Typically, fast fashion also means short lived. However, Topshop brings the runway home, with edgy and youthful looks that are still credible, high-quality pieces. Topman, the men’s line, aims to shift the way men approach shopping, allowing them to also be fashion forward, with styles that are affordable and authoritative.

Our favourite picks for fall include:

- Prints, Prints, Prints: From floral to camo to houndstooth, this trend is carrying over from summer, but in a darker and more demure way.

- Dipping Hemlines: The casual elegance of this look can easily be paired with all your fall staples.

- Over-sized Jackets: We love this new runway trend that also keeps us warm. Get your cocoon on with this khaki fur lined coat.

- Statement Collars: The more pronounced the better. This pinstud collar is detachable, and can be added to a variety to tops to complete your look.

Besides over 300 stores in the UK, Topshop recently opened stores in New York and Chicago, and just launched the Toronto store last week. Canadians have been able to purchase Topshop styles from capsules inside The Bay since August 2011. Now, The Bay will expand to a store-within-a-store feature, with over 33,000 square feet of space at the 674 Granville Street location – the largest international Topshop Topman store.

Want to be first in line? The Vancouver Topshop Topman store opens Oct. 18 at The Bay, Downtown Vancouver, with prizes, exclusive giveaways, and live entertainment. RSVP to the Facebook event for more details.
