UK retailer Topshop has continued to grow in popularity due to its clothing that mixes current and fashion-forward styles and its newest collection looks towards both the past and the future for inspiration.

Called the 'Reclaim' collection, the brand's newest project features clothes made only from [upcycled materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cos-2) -- ensuring that the clothes' production process was as sustainable as possible. While Topshop is often guilty of falling victim to the "[fast fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coachtopia-1)" practice, its attempts to counter some of those effects are important. The clothing is clearly influenced by the cropped tops, spaghetti straps, playful graphics and [denim](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mango-jeans) that was so popular in the 90's.

By finding inspiration from the past and fusing that with the concerns of the future, Topshop has managed to create a collection that will be popular with its core demographics.
