So many of you are anticipating Kate Moss' collection for Top Shop later this spring (collection arrives MAY 2007) well more details have been revealed! The collection is said to be an 80-piece collection based on many of Kate's own clothes, there is a pretty blue and grey poppy print short silk dress (£45) inspired by Moss's vast collection of vintage dresses. A yellow and black striped busboy jacket (£65), waistcoat (£35) and micro-shorts (of course) (£30) are typical of her taste for turning masculine clothes into something incredibly sexy.
“Yes dahling, it’s sell, sell, sell,” Kate Moss says of her new apparel collection for Topshop.UK Vogue have snagged an exclusive with Topshop and Kate to unveil the collection in a 10-page exclusive feature in which Moss also dishes on her inspirations for the collection. “I thought it should be a bit more edgy. Just because you’re wearing a pretty dress, it doesn’t have to be all pretty-pretty,” she says. “I’d just gotten this book of photographs about that club Studio 54 and I wanted it more like that.”
There is also a steel grey pinstripe blazer (£65) with matching boy-cut trousers (£45) and a white shirt scrawled with her friend's names that was inspired by Moss's own school shirt. There is also a few dressy peices such as evening gowns and things of the like.
Moss may not have actually designed the collection personally (she has taken her own clothes and other vintage finds into a design team for "inspiration") but there is a very clear Kate Moss signature throughout the line. While some pieces may not look extraordinary, Moss's selling power is well-documented. She has a talent for kick-starting fashion trends, popularising everything from a Balenciaga handbag and Diesel denim hotpants to Wellington boots by Hunter.
Pick up April's British Vogue which comes to newstands Monday March 12th for all the juicy details!
Oh my god I can't wait, even if I have to buy the clothes online.
