<P>On the runway, <STRONG>Topshop Unique</STRONG>'s show was young, carefree - 
and winking at the expansive, show-off style of the 1980s. But offstage - beyond 
the sharp-shouldered jacket smothered in hearts, the vivid colors, the faded 
denim and the winking diamond ring of the newly married Peaches Geldof (daughter 
of Sir Bob of Live Aid) - things may not be so cheerful for Britain's most 
lauded fast-fashion&nbsp;company.</p> <P>Sir Philip Green's decision to take on America has stalled because of 
logistical problems with the New York site. Topshop's feisty chief executive, 
notably absent from the London shows he is sponsoring this week, is in New York 
to push forward the opening. It was originally slated for October but is now 
delayed until, at least,&nbsp;November.</p> <P>Green announced in February that the first American Topshop would be on 
Broadway in Manhattan's SoHo district. No further U.S. rollouts are, as 
yet,&nbsp;planned.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B3386D18-410D-4588-B063-C8F6437E717E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
