Kate to wed in Topshop dress

18.04.07

Kate Moss has shunned offers from from top-class designers — including Alexander McQueen — to design her wedding dress, instead asking her pal Katy England and the Topshop team to create the gown.
Katy, who's married to Kate's best pal rocker Bobby Gillespie, has been helping the model design her new clothes range, which will hit stores on 1 May.
Kate Moss has asked pal Katy England (right) to help design her dream wedding dress.

Through this she's become very close to the Topshop team and we're told they love working together and are “absolutely delighted” to be designing a dress for Moss.

Pete Doherty, 28, recently made their engagement official by referring to Kate as his “fiancée” on stage at the Hackney Empire.
Kate had lifted her “no wedding talk” ban on the Babyshambles frontman and the couple are now actively planning their big day.
Of course, no woman's wedding day is complete without the perfect dress, and who else would you trust to provide you with such a thing other than your best pal — especially when she's a designer who works with the likes of McQueen.
A close friend tells us: “Katy is tered that Kate trusts her enough to make the perfect dress, it's every designer's dream. She asked her very recently to do the honours and they are currently going through ideas together.
“Katy will work on the dress with the Topshop team she's met while helping Kate out with her new range.
“Kate really wants a low-key dress, something simple and elegant. The whole wedding will be a low-key affair so it makes sense to have a non-fussy yet funky dress.
“Kate is a big fan of her friend's designs and Katy's helped her out a lot designing this new Topshop range so she thought what better way to repay her than to have her design the wedding gown.”
Last July, Kate, 33, did a reading at Katy's wedding to the Primal Scream frontman and reportedly told guests: “It's going to be me next.”

Hope someone can help me out with a request. Does anyone have larger versions of the pics where she wears the white coat (top left and bottom right) and the tan coat (bottom middle)? Thanks in advance as well as for all of the recent (and not so recent) candids! I thought her style was outstanding in the "Johnny" days. A little more classic, less boho than today.

^That was a great article, MissMagAddict; thanks for posting it! I have to say, in that first picture of her in the dress and leopard coat, if I'm not wrong, she's just walking somewhere, prob off to some wonderful party! But it honestly looks like a photo ad, doesnt it? Look at her face; it's just so serene and yet glam. It really does make me think that's an advertisement.... god, she looks fantastic!

Gosh us vogue really knows how to style things don't they? These pics are so great compared to the sunday times or telegrpah pics..

Brand Identity: Kate Moss

As her first line of clothing arrives in London's Top Shop, the supermodel gets a different kind of makeover

With her first line of clothing due to cause riots in Topshop at the beginning of next month, plus other projects in the pipeline, Brand Moss has arrived, her new image sealed by an identity masterminded by Peter Saville, in collaboration with typographer Paul Barnes.

"Kate is in an exceptional territory of her own," explains Saville. "She is an icon to everyone, in that young women can relate to her and aspire to be her. She's an accessible icon, and similarly she's not intimidating. She's synonymous with possibility for young women—she's not impossibly beautiful, or alluring, or mannered. It's that that's made her such an astonishing role model for her times. Plus Kate has never denied or denounced her roots; she hasn't moved on to another world. All this has endeared Kate to a generation. She's a brand. And this next stage for her is the inevitable product realisation of that brand."

Moss' collaboration with Topshop has been well documented, but her brand power won't end there, and Storm, her modelling agent, realised the necessity for a single identity to be used across her various products. "Storm realised that the graphic responsibility of the brand was theirs, that we must bring it in house and then licence it to our partners, there must not be different representations of an identity of Kate Moss," continues Saville.
"We needed something that was popular but quite boho. We didn't want it to be an exploration of a teenage girl thing as that's quite trite, and Kate can be a signifier of certain values for the rest of her life, I don't think she'll disappear. So we needed something that was right for now, but also had some longevity."

Saville originally experimented with variations of Moss' signature, but then abandoned this strategy and approached Barnes to discuss fonts. "He's a wonderful guide to letters and was able to fast-track us to the suspects. 'Kate' was really easy—there were lots of fonts that worked with that. But 'Moss' was difficult, it kept slipping into National Trust territory or Moss Bros and that was completely off-message."

Barnes then suggested a variation on a typeface by Alexey Brodovitch, the legendary art director of Harper's Bazaar from 1934-58. "I rediscovered it by looking at an old type catalogue, and it's always been in my mind to use it for something," he explains. "I tried it for this almost as a kind of joke, but the actual combinations of letters worked well, the words 'Kate Moss' looked really good. It embodies the spirit of Kate Moss, it's sophisticated yet modern. It has a quirkiness and modernity because it's almost geometric. It has a very modern feel, but also has heritage—it was designed by the principle art director of his time, if not all time."

Moss' involvement in the process came towards the end, when Saville presented her with 20 identity options to view in a meeting that gave him a taste of the model's paparazzi-hunted lifestyle, when the two were photographed smoking cigarettes out of Storm's office windows and ended up in the News of the World and on the cover of a French gossip mag, which questioned who Moss's "mystery new man" was. Despite such intrusions, the meeting couldn't have gone smoother, with Moss instinctively agreeing with the designers' favourite. "We presented the list of fonts to Kate, but when she turned to that page, she just said ‘that's the one that I want'," says Saville. "She saw that it was right."

So if this is Moss, any suggestions for typographic representations of the other "Supers"? Psycho Vamp for Naomi perhaps? "A little bit crazy, a whole lot dangerous"...

WENN.com

Pete Doherty came close to soaking Kate Moss with a full bucket of water when she arrived home after a night out. Kate was not amused to see Spirit photographer Olivier Polter take the full brunt of the attack just before midnight which wrecked his camera and dampen his spirit. London England 18.4.07 [quote]


(there are no Kate pics of this on WENN, just pics of Pete chucking water at the camera; so didnt think there was any point in posting them)

Hopefully we will see some new candids of Kate on the(above highlighted)night out
