Iconic: Asos is reportedly preparing to offload the Topshop brand
Online fashion giant Asos is in talks to sell Topshop, less than three years after it bought the brand from Sir Philip Green’s collapsed retail empire.
Asos, which is getting ready to publish its delayed full year results this week, is reportedly preparing to offload the brand, which was once one of the UK’s most iconic retailers.

CEO Jose Antonio Ramos Calamonte announced a 12-month plan to turn around its fortunes.
