Just in case you thought the world couldn't get anymore colder this month, Topshop's Sir Phillip Green went right on ahead and dropped this tid bit last week:

Topshop, the fast-fashion chain store there everyone in America has been jumping up and down for since we stumbled up its e-commerce site a couple of years, will not, and we repeat, will not be opening this fall in New York.

As to why Mr. Green felt like breaking out heart, her espouses: "America is a new territory for us and we have to get it exactly right. This store can't be a nine out of 10 when it opens; it has to be a 10 out of 10. So we're delaying the opening until around mid-March."

And there you go.
