I believe it’s an attitude.” From their bestselling biker jackets to logo-adored T-shirts, you’ll struggle to walk the streets of any city in Britain and not spot something AllSaints.

ASOS is a global retailer, but it originated in 2000 in London. Primarily aimed at young adults, the website carries over 850 brands, as well as stocking its own lines, and ships to 196 countries.

Now, it caters to a wider audience with more than 30 sizes on offer.

What started as a brand extension of a department store in the ‘60s, Topshop originally sold fashion by young British designers such as Mary Quant. It grew into its own by the late ’90s, and quickly became a go-to for the fashion set thanks to sell-out collections, like Kate Moss for Topshop, and advertisements featuring models like Cara Delevingne. They kept a steady finger on the trend pulse for years, with their flagship store on Oxford Street acting as a landmark until 2020 when it (along with all the other nationwide stores) closed.

Topshop is now sold exclusively via ASOS.com, with new-in silhouettes and bestseller re-stocks dropping constantly, although, as of late last year, there have been whisperings of a potential store return…

Dr. Martens (also known as Doc Martens, Docs, or DMs) began as a £2 work boot, selling primarily to Britain’s working classes. It wasn’t until Pete Townshend from the rock band The Who wore them as a symbol of his own working-class pride and rebellious attitude that the brand’s history changed into a subcultural essential. By the end of the 1970s, the boot had become a symbol of self-expression at the very heart of British youth culture and has pretty much remained that way since.
