Administrative history
The Top Man label was established by the Burton Group in 1978 as a response to changes in menswear and men's consumption of fashion in the 1970s. It was created as the menswear equivalent of their women's wear Top Shop label. It was later rebranded as 'Topman'. After its owner Arcadia Group went into administration in 2020, the Topman brand was sold to online fashion retailer ASOS in February 2021.
