The autumn/winter collection of Kate Moss at Topshop will be available for sale (in stores and online) on September 7th. It will Kate’s second installment for the high street chain:
Conceived and designed in close consultation with Moss – the woman whose compelling sense of style has inspired a squillion shopping trips = it will prove very hot indeed. And so it should. Not just because it’s Moss-related. But because it’s better than the launch collection (which inspired scenes of wild-eyed consumer lust when it arrived on 1 May 2007). ‘It’s more confident, more original … representing a grown-up, sexier Kate,’ according to Grazia
Actually, this collection seems to be even more inspired by Pete Doherty than the spring/summer collection did. I suppose that would finally qualify the couple’s on-off relationship as symbiotic.
KM for TS Mark II is also interesting precisely because it is a second collection. Historically, high street/celebrity collaborations barely make it through one scant outing, which ultimately proves to be little more than a promotional exercise for all concerned. Topshop and Kate, however, is a convincing alliance. Moss’s celebrity brand and Topshop’s consumer one are as accessible as they are credible, as high street as they are hip.
We do admit that the black chiffon dress with plunging neckline sounds rather intriguing, as do the flapper-inspired pieces.
