Has Kate Moss lost her sense of style?

^That would be great! I'm not joking here, if she would I'm sure that people would go "ooh, she looks stunning! I want to look like that too!". It has happened before. Everyone would be wearing potato sacks, I'm sure they really would, because with Kate Moss people think that she can do no wrong.

I can think of maybe two looks where I remember saying to myself she looks really great. One was back in 2002 at a Mario Testino exhibition, a black deconstructed Balenciaga dress with strappy sandals and vintage white fur bolero, and another was a black sequined vintage gown and matching scarf that she wore to her 33rd b-day party.

Other then that I can't say I'm at all impressed by her style.

I think it was a dark blue sequinned gown for her 20s themed bday? Those two are my faves as well, not forgetting the "Ginsberg is God" ensemble and a lemon yellow vintage cocktail dress she wore awhile back.

Admittedly, her style of late has been a little monotonous but still she carries it off with panache.

i don't think she's lost it! she's gone in a different direction this year with the shorts, but she looks as stylish as ever, even in daisy dukes.

I'm gonna be entirely honest here, I've never found her to be that stylish. Admittedly, she has great taste in pieces but I rarely like the way she puts the looks together. The majority of her outfits are basically a grunge sensibility, and any of the stuff she wears to events are just really nice designer pieces that don't need much styling.

well said. i've always thought that the vintage gown she wore to her birthday party (with the gatsby theme i think) was blue? i'd add the nude dior she wore to the cfda's which has been done to death recently. anyway, she's a little overrated but she is an original (relatively compared to the bombardment of boho chic: sienna, nicole r., lindsay). she's only as great as the amount of people who copied/followed her. i've also never really liked her hair when it's straight down. looks unkempt, unwashed and unpleasant. she's beautiful though.

I think the spread of the use of the internet by everybody is one of the factors that make us question her sense of style. Whereas two years ago we would only see selective pictures of her really great outfits in magazines, now we even see what she puts on to go to the corner shop veryday on the web... people have caught up with her sense of style and keep looking for her pics daily (just have a look at her thread for proof of this) so she ended up beind daily photographed even when there's no apparent stylistic reason... so, inavoidably, we get to see her daily, not so interesting outfits she puts together to get her kid to school, go to the gas station, go for newspapers... feeling that these outfits are nothing exceptional, is only natural...

On the other hand, her formal appearances were not THAT impressing in the last couple of years... Ok, her tux was nice but not stunning, the wedding outfit was a disaster, the shorts paired with red boots and the mcqueen leather jacket was just bad...

You can't help but ask the question: how can someone who supposedly has a strong, innate sense of style, walk out of their house with something easthetically wrong... even when you will just throw a pair of shorts and a T together, it should look good because you wouldn't have it any other way and because your innate sense of style doesn't allow you wear to something that doesn't work, even if this is your pajamas.... just have a look at the people posting their daily outfits on the "what are you wearing today" thread on tFS... those who have an innate sense of style ALWAYS get it right even if it is for running their errands...

Her latest outfits just don't do it... the "shorts, mcqueen jacket and red ankle boots" combo was just tacky and, imho, her so celebrated innate sense of style should have warned her about this...

The real culprit is obvioulsy Sienna Miller. She stole Kate's style and, now that it has been labled "Sienna Style Boho-Hippie-Rockergirl Chic", Kate is just boring. She needs to start wearing a potato sack, that way we can see Sienna Miller and Lindsay Lohan try to wear it and fail miserably so we can laugh at them.

i think you're right, khaotickharma! let's just hand out the sacks!

 

[chibi]

NO! i think she had a great style... she's dressed like kate moss, not trying to be something. what she wears later become a trend. she's not a follower. i love her

 

[chibi]

and i agree that SIENNA IS THE ONE WITH BAD STYLE. everytime she dressed, there's always 1 thing that shows that she overdo it! she's a copycat and i don't see what people see in her!
she's only famous after she's f**ing jude law. who was she before? nobody!

 

[kitten_77]

i didnt' think kate lost her sense of style, i just think she doesn't care that much anymore. The only moment i actually questioned her loosing her sense of style was that pic of her in the window of TS wearing that godawful red dress from her collection - it was like a bad barbie doll moment. Made me cringe. I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt though, she is still my fashion icon no1.
As for sienna, i completly agee withKhaoticKharma -her style is purely replication and its so bloody obvious - she must be as thick as two short planks not to see how transparent she is. Its like "everything Kate can do I can do", but she so cant..... anyone who starts a trend that involves gypsy skirts... dont get me started...

Lost it.

She was sensational. Every single thing looked impeccable. She did the 90s like nobody else. But it is rare for a singer's best work to be his last, rare for an actor's swansong to be his greatest achievement, rare for a man to look better in his old age than in his youth. And it is rare for someone -even this someone -to stay stylish forever, especially in a time like this. The concept of classic doesnt really exist anymore. Audrey Hepburn couldn't have survived sartiorially now. It is all well and good wearing Chanel forever but it wont make you stylish. In a gobalised, multicultural world, style is too fast moving and innovative for notions such as classic and only the kids can keep up. This is why youth is so celebrated. For all its limitations and problems, it is a fearsome, inspirational, burning time. And Kate, a thirty something mother, has passed that. Its life.

And just because we all love Kate Moss, does not mean we all have to swear blind that she is still on the pulse as she staggers into her old age in twenty years time in some horrible outfit. I am grateful for those 90s images that will inspire fashion devotees forever. Kate did show thjat whilst classic no longer exists in a Hepburn sense, you can retain a chicness in modern dressing post-minimalism and post-grunge, to create what can simply be described as modern-classic

Exactly my sentiments. Super well put

How can one lose something they never had?


I can't anyone cares about this freak at all.

 

[seahorseinstripe]

no, she always dressed great to me...

 

[kissmesweet]

I don't think she's ever had a sense of 'extraordinary' style to begin with.

Same.

Model makes way for younger models

Uh oh.

After being dropped by sexy lingerie firm Agent Provocateur, Kate Moss has now been put out to grass by Burberry. The fashion icon, 33, has had to make way for newcomers Agyness Deyn, 21, and Lily Donaldson, 20. The youngsters have been snapped by Mario Testino for a new ad campaign.

A spokesman tells The Sun that Kate, who has modelled for the brand since 1997, is 'still part of the Burberry family'. The firm's decision to use girls 10 years Kate's junior may have something to do with the fact that the supermodel is looking tired.

'Kate's spent the past year looking like some down-and-out groupie,' a concerned friend tells The Mirror. 'She's always had young pretenders snapping at her heels, but now they're tearing chunks out of her ankles.'

You cant loose something you never had

 

[pinksatin]

No. She hasn't lost it. I think she's stayed true to her own style. She never looks like a sellout and wearing things because she "should" or it's in though she's always on trend (maybe since they tend to follow her). If it's monotonous, well, it would make sense if she has a style that she likes and she puts clothing on everyday. If she switched it up everyday it would look contrived and schizophrenic. SHe's comfortable in what she chooses to wear I think. And yes she is great in hot pants. Also about people saying her style has changed in the last few years....mine has too! I think it's normal for your style to evolve with your life.

Her style was the best for me that period when she was dating Jefferson and shortly after they broke-up. Basically before Pete.
