They just canceled my order too and I bought one thing in the first 3 minutes of it being live.

leyla - glad that you can get a hold of the coin vest. i think it's a very wearable and unique piece to be honest.

fliss, dreams, i am sorry to hear that they canceled your orders as well. WTF!!!!!

That's an amazing article. It sums up my opinion (apart from the comment about M by Madonna collection, I saw it in the shop and it looked really interesting designwise and of good quality). I guess Topshop knows very well how to push consumers buttons but I'm afraid they only sell dreams/fantasies (ie if I buy a KM top, I'll have a bit of the KM magic dust on me and maybe my life will be more glamourous -in very simplistic way of speaking-) But here they really push it to the max (if I consider the reports on the material/fit). imo they're completely taking the pxxx. Now of course every consumer makes the choice or not to buy a piece of the KM collection and it's up to them.

omg great article! i actaully cheked the topshop nwebsite there and seems they have done some re-stocking but i have decided i would prefer to try on the clothes , so many bad stories about qualtity etc.. and i,m want to see the clothes for real, i dont wanna buy the clothes for the sake of it u know? i may not buy anything, honestly clothes are v bad lets be honest.

i have to admit cant think of the ladys name but the head designer jane shepard i think her name is, but when she resigned after KM was taken on at topshop alarm bells rang, and i,m putting her leaving down to the complete slide in quality in the KM range . if she had of been there i doubt half of those designs wouldnt have got made.

People whose order got cancelled -did you order items in different sizes? I've heard that lots of people that ordered in two sizes (even, say, and 8 in the jeans and a 6 for the dress) had their orders automatically cancelled in an attempt to cut down reselling.

I saw the stuff in Topshop for the first time yesterday -my local (Oxford) is small and the KM display was very half-hearted: one poster in the window partially obscured by another banner advertising the regular stock sale. There wasn't that much left in the shop (but from the size of the display I don't think there was that much there to begin with either) and I didn't see anyone touch anything other than the little basic vests (btw, I bought a similar, nicer quality, £8 vest with little mother-of-pearl looking buttons from M&S weeks ago). There were a few of the ivory jackets in all sizes, hotpants (I think all three types), the metallic gladiator sandals and the metallic skirt/bandeau dress.

Everything looked horrible. Uninspiring compared even to the other stuff in topshop... and nothing new. I felt like I'd seen it all before (and not just in the press, but, like, last summer). There was nothing new about the aesthetic, nothing fresh. The gladiator sandals, in particular, looked like they'd been worn to death and were on the charity shop pile. I am a Kate fan (although it's been a while since I've coveted her style), but the clothes to me felt really strung-out, the kind of stuff you wear to brunch at a greasy spoon, your 'second best' wardrobe. I didn't even pick a single thing off the hanger, not even out of curiosity, that was how unenthused I was.

I really loved the white dress when I first saw it, but now it's become 'THAT' white dress I'm going off it. There's nothing fun about wearing something that everyone else would and will wear. I think I might make myself something similar, but in a nicer fabric and with better shaping of the bodice (which looks awkward even on selma, imho). Is it true they put its price up to £60?

thats great tho you havent given into the hype! i had my eye of the pansy dress and top, it seems like everyone else does 2.i,m gonna have a look at it in topshop and make my decision then but, i have been thinnking that everybody! will be going around like KM clones and i dont like the idea of that, think i mite buy myself smething i like somewhere else.do u think topshop mite in a way suffer from this?becuase the quality is so bad and the designs are rubbish!!!in the KM range

Here's another picture of Selma in the white dress (I don't think it has been posted)

I liked the white dress so much when it was first featured in British Vogue, but now it's just the most overexposed item from the KM collection and it hasn't even been released yet!

Dreams, I'm sorry to hear that they cancelled your order too. It's so frustrating I'm very tempted to write and complain.

Uberwench, I didn't order things in different sizes nope, just the one size and just three items so it didn't go over the allowed amount. There hasn't been one reason (apart from circumstances out of their control which I don't accept as a reason) why they cancelled my order which is even more annoying!

[Guessgirl96]

leyla, I also had my orer cancelled. I just ordered the coin vest and I'm still after that, but that seems to be the only piece worth it except for maybe the white dress selma is wearing.

[lucy92]

so whats the consensus on sizing for the pansy dress? im a US size 6, should i get a size 12 UK?

does selma blair's white dress come in other colours as well?

[shopping247]

oh man, gg, i can't believe they cancelled your order also!

lucy - i think that style of dress only came in the white.

My fingers are crossed, hoping Topshop won't cancel my order because I specified an 'invalid' phone number, ie., when I realized the system required a British area code, I gave one of Topshop's store numbers instead. Apparently it works for international customers to omit their area code and enter only their last seven digits, which I thought I'd tried without success--but it's possible I mistyped the first time around.

Kate spoke volumes on behalf of the collection when she posed wearing the red evening dress, though perhaps with an unintentional meaning: I wouldn't have given that dress the merest look of admiration, had she not styled it so well, or worn it so unexpectedly, in other words. I consider this collection a challenge to pull off, but I love a challenge too well; that's probably its biggest appeal factor for me, aside from a love for waistcoats and long skirts which Kate and I share.
