excerpt from telegraph story...

Kate Moss' latest collection went on sale in Topshop's Oxford Circus flagship in London this morning and caused a shopping frenzy.

The sexiness of this high summer collection, combined with a return of high temperatures, ensured the clothes sold like hot cakes - especially the dresses.
Two hundred of the coveted red pansy dresses, for example, were sold in the first hour and a half.
Other favourites included a striped 50's style 'prom' frock and a Rajasthani-style printed cotton halter-neck.
A spokesman said more than 2.5 million page views were expected on the topshop.com website - the only other place where this Kate Moss collection can be bought apart from Oxford Circus.

This red pansy print dress is still mostly available online (except for size 10) if anyone's interested to buy it. I only ordered the corset t-shirt and the striped 50s dress. I've loved the corset t-shirt from her 1st collection because it's so slimming and looks cool! I'm sure this striped version is just going to be as good!

There are quite a few very expensive items; too expensive, I think, considering they are 'holiday' clothes. I quite like the black playsuit but didn't want to order without trying it first. It is quite expensive too, and I doubt my local Topshop would stock it. Oh well. 85 quid saved.

Went today and didn't buy anything in the end! Overall I wasn't that excited by the pieces in person, they look better on the photos - though my topshop didn't have all the pieces.

I tried on the pansy dress but the front got on my nerves as it's quite low and kept falling open. I also tried on the 50's dress but I was in-between sizes. I think the sizes are slightly bigger this time round as everything I tried on in my usual size was too big.

The red pansy print dress online has run of out stock except for sizes 14 and 16... but I'm not surprised i knew this item would be a knock out!

I wonder if they'll get more of the red pansy dress in. Probably not... Damn!

Kate wore the one from her own line but she had obviously cropped the hemline a bit herself. No wonder she wants to show off her heavenly legzzz

I can't believe some people are trying to sell the red Pansy dress on Ebay for £150!! That's insane!

I want that dress but that's just ridiculously overpriced.

I was waiting around for the collection to come up online last night here in the US, when it finally did I couldn't decide between the red and purple pansy dresses and decided to sleep on it... only to find out today that the red dress has sold out already (!) along with the silk purple/pink jacket!! I couldn't believe it.. I was hesitant on an impulse purchase because I'd spent so much money lately but I kind of regret it now... I really didn't think the stuff would sell out this quickly, I thought the hype had totally died down already!

^ Same here. Never mind though...

The red dress is already all over ebay and, if you're willing to pay the insane price, you can get it.

Personally, I'd rather spend £150 ( what it's selling on ebay for) on something designer rather than on the dress though.
