Topshop Announces New Ashish Range for 2011

<div> <p><span class="xn-location">LONDON</span>, <span class="xn-chron">Jan. 12, 2011</span> /PRNewswire/ -- Topshop has announced it will be welcoming Ashish back for another collection of his printed t-shirts this January.</p> <p>Inspired by the fast-food industry, mixed with a touch of Ashish's trademark comic style, the collection is made up of two oversized t-shirts and two sweatshirts with images of convenience food featured on the front. These include an ice cream sundae, a fried breakfast in the shape of a smiley face, a hotdog 'happy meal' and a colourful iced doughnut. The bright pictures stand out against the plain white, navy and black backgrounds. </p> <p>Affectionately known by the style set as the 'King of Sequins', <span class="xn-person">Ashish Gupta</span> first worked with Topshop in 2004 when he won NEW GEN sponsorship. His collections mix sportswear and high-octane glamour, often using bright colours, sequins and prints. </p> <p>Ashish commented: "The inspiration was very easy - I love junk food. I was thinking of what I would like to wear to the gym, and I thought junk food on t-shirts and sweatshirts would be perfect. Perhaps not very motivational, but definitely very amusing."</p> <p>This collection marks Ashish's sixth with Topshop and will be available in the Oxford Circus, Brompton Road, Selfridges and <span class="xn-location">New York</span> stores and on Topshop's website from January. </p> <p>About Topshop:</p> <p>Topshop was established in 1964 and is part of Arcadia Group Ltd.
