Nordstrom's Newest Department is…Topshop

If Neiman Marcus and Target’s collaboration announcement earlier this week was the ultimate high-low play, what do we make of Topshop’s new venture with Nordstrom?  The British fast fashion chain will be opening this fall in 14 Nordstroms across the U.S.  It’s a fun new take on the shop-within-a-shop trend, but given the retailers’ relatively close price points, the collaboration seems more intended to mutually highlight one another’s images.
