KATE'S FIRST LOOK: Kate Moss' collection for Topshop got its first official unveiling on the retailer's Web site when a microsite dedicated to the collection was launched Tuesday. And the moody shots of Moss and Irina Lazareanu, shot by Alasdair McLellan, reveal that Moss hasn't been shy about mining her own wardrobe for inspiration. There are — of course — skinny jeans, which will retail at Barneys New York from May 8 for $106; denim HotPants, at $102, and flat-fronted gray pinstripe pants and a matching mini waistcoat, all looks that Moss has been snapped in over the past year or two. There are also plenty of party-worthy pieces, including an asymmetric white cotton cocktail dress for $120; a navy bondage dress, with cutout details at the neck, for $158, and a plethora of fitted jackets in silk and cotton. Prices start at $20 for a cotton muscle-back T-shirt.

And, before the collection makes its debut in U.K. stores May 1, Topshop is giving its customers as much of a glimpse into Moss' creative process as possible — the microsite is made up of a montage of shots of Moss and Lazareanu at the look book shoot, interspersed with snippets of film of Moss, Lazareanu and hairdresserJames Brown, in which Moss loyally reveals that she's "shopped at Topshop for years."

Barneys will be selling topshop? will the quality be any different? Maybe the higher prices are becuase of customs taxes..

Would they be in the 1st of May too? Because I'm going to Singpoare for a couple of days and leaving on the 1st of May at night! I would love to buy something there. I'm from Sydney Australia so not a chance of buying anything from TOpshop here

Aren't you guys in the least bit dissapointed? Some of the pieces are nice, but all they did was copy popular items from her wardrobe, I thought it would be more orignal...well, I suppose that was probably the point anyhow, to appeal to the masses. She'd probably just design her own line of clothing otherwise.

[neni]

Well.. I didn't expect too much either...the only things I like are the purple and white dresses. And the purple one is too expensive so..

TopShop still doesnt ship to the US right? I emailed a year ago and asked, but maybe things have changed?

[Gloria01]

do they ship to germany?

[kimair]

topshop ships to the u.s., but not to germany...

[loonaka]

The pictures of the collection on the topshop site, is that the whole collection? Anyone know the prizes?

That's kind of what i was thinking. I mean, she said herself in the Vogue interview that the collection is based on a lot of the items in her wardrobe, which I'm guessing are mainly all designer or vintage. How many other designers would get away with so blatently copying other designers? I haven't looked at her collection to indepth but that black dress a few pages back is obviously a version of her Helmut Lang one worn a few years ago. Just a thought.
