Asos strikes deal with Nordstrom to sell Topshop in US stores

US department store chain will put fashion brand's clothing back in brick and mortar shops

The online fashion retailer Asos has struck a deal with the US department store chain Nordstrom that will put Topshop clothing back in brick and mortar stores.

Nordstrom is taking a minority stake in the Topshop, Topman, Miss Selfridge and activewear HIIT brands - which Asos bought in March after the collapse of Sir Philip Green's Arcadia empire - for an undisclosed sum, as part of a joint venture announced on Monday.
