The Beach Inspires Top Threads

UK chain stores Top Man and Top Man are hoping to take advantage of the the shining light that is Leo DiCaprio. The stores are official clothes sponsors of the much-anticipated The Beach, and are planning to launch a new range of special clothing range named (surprise, surprise) "The Beach" next month. We haven't seen the tropically-inspired togs yet, but we're guessing shorts, T-shirts and sarongs - basically a David Beckham kind of look, but without the headscarf. Though there's no indication that Leo will make an appearance for the launch, they're keeping their fingers crossed. A spokesperson says, "We have been working with them to supply clothes for the cast of the film. Most of the girls in the film have been dressed by us. We are bringing out a Beach-inspired range of clothes next month in conjunction with the premiere." And in a departure from the usual premiere garb - dominated by designer labels such as Armani, Versace and Valentino, the store has also nominated itself to dress the stars at the British premiere on February 9 in London. "We're hoping to be lending out loads of clothes for the premiere night, it's going to be great," enthused Top Shop's spokesperson.
