The Mark Fast Topshop line bears much resemblance to the Canadian designer's pricier range--at a pinch of the price tag. While the cost of the five-piece collaboration ranges from $170 to $310, they still beat his typical thousand-dollar prices.

Known for incorporating plus-sized models into his runway shows, Mark Fast is still showing his commitment to staying modern and fresh by collaborating with the popular clothing chain.

Implications - The recession caused many high-end designers to release diffusion lines to stay afloat in a changing market. This Mark Fast collection for Topshop was priced significantly higher than Topshop's other offerings, but it was a relative steal for fans of Mark Fast.
