Topshop could return to high street after Asos sells stake

The online fashion retailer said it had sold a 75% stake in Topshop, the group it bought just over three years ago for £330m, to Heartland, an arm of Bestseller, the Danish fashion business controlled by the major Asos shareholder Anders Povlsen.

The deal will help Asos repay debts, as it said sales continued to slide by more than the 15% it had already told the City to expect - amid a soggy summer and consumer caution in the light of high energy bills.

Povlsen, a Danish billionaire who is Scotland's biggest landowner, already owns brands including Jack & Jones and Vero Moda through his Bestseller business.
