...since the opening of Fiorucci on East 59th Street in the 1970s or Reminiscence on MacDougal Street in the 1980s has a fast-fashion retail brand made such a splash in Manhattan. On Thursday morning the model Kate Moss will join Arcadia Group chairman Sir Philip Green to cut the ribbon on British retail chain Topshop's long-awaited U.S. debut, at Broadway and Broome Street in SoHo. Originally scheduled to hit the Big Apple last fall, the delayed flagship opening comes at a time when other relatively inexpensive fashion brands like H&M and Zara are reporting declining sales...

...Green is confident that his chain has the fashion horsepower and merchandising excitement to reel in customers with skinny wallets - and keep them coming back to buy more. "I'm not in the doom camp," said Green in an interview with TIME during New York Fashion Week in February. "We're a $5 billion company, and this is a long-term game.

That's a superspeedy rotation given the fact that most U.S. fast-fashion companies restock on a six- to 10-week schedule, while European competitors like...

...opening of its first outposts in the U.S. and Japan, the 45-year-old Topshop chain now has a presence in 31 countries - with 2,400 stores worldwide, 300 of them in the U.K. - and expansion into three or four more countries is under discussion. Although nothing is confirmed, Green hopes the New York City flagship will be the first of perhaps a dozen stores in the U.S. "I've studied America for a while," he said confidently. "We'll get some things right and some wrong." (See 10 things to do in New York City...

...What Green, who was knighted in 2006 for his contributions to the retail business, is hoping will set the fast-fashion chain apart from the competition will be the daily updated merchandise, the high-fashion quotient and the customer service, which includes free personal shoppers. Customers can call ahead for an appointment with a "style adviser" in the store or have a selection of up-to-the-minute merchandise brought to their home for free. Not too shabby, but the question remains: Will London street style play on Broadway...
