Kate Moss For TopShop #1

[Daisy_Valentine]

The grey mohair jacket cardigan doesn't look anything like the pix. I am correct? Did anyone go today. The one she's wearing looks more hairy and has flared sleeves. Online they look straight. Can anyone give me their opinion?

The blue beaded swing dress is gorgeous, but honestly, that is all I like in this collection. :x

 

[cuppycakes]

i love the faux fur coats

 

[loonaka]

I really don't get the big leather pieces

 

[karen sofie]

That leather overcoat is way too long, so it's too goth for me. If it had been midlengthed I'd loved it..

 

[Joyeux]

Actually, I adore the leather pieces. The leather dress and pencil skirt look great but I agree that the long coat is such a strange item. It's impossible to look good in it! I even can't see Kate wearing it (maybe somebody like Marilyn Manson?). I don't understand why she didn't design a pair of leather skinny's or shorts instead.

Has anyone bought something from this collection? I would love to know how the collection is in real life on a real person.

I like the black lace top and the velvet set. Things are looking up.

 

[Halcyon]

I'm sorry, grey silk Kate Moss pajamas? Those must be mine. Even if they are expensive.

 

[karen sofie]

I love the kimono dress, the oriental slip, the velvet set and the shoe and bags

kate Moss interview in todays guardian by eva wiseman


Kate Moss has an office, off to the left above Topshop, that smells sweetly of ****. Inside, picking delicately at a packet of crisps, Moss is describing her new collection. "Feature sleeves!" she squeals. "Floaty things! Sexy things! That kimono feeling!" She gestures with black-nailed hands. "The details! The details!" Grabbing an evening coat from a rail, she shows me its shiny buttons. "This is my favourite piece. I'd wear it with a thick tight and high shoe. Classic. Here, I'll give you a demo." She pulls it on over her black T-shirt and juts a hip in my direction. I sit on my hands to avoid applauding.This is Kate Moss's fourth collection for Topshop, and it launches in a month the tabloids began to delight in highlighting her wrinkles – but in the flesh she glows, like she's carved from frozen brandy butter.
"I have three wardrobes – one big one and two everyday ones, and recently I hired some people to come in and sort them out. They archived everything, putting it all in paper and boxes, labelled with Polaroids. It's gorgeous. I've had a couple of parties there, in my dressing room. So many looks! So many hats!"
Her Topshop designs are born in these deep, deep wardrobes – with the stylist Katy England she picks the "most beautiful elements" from her favourite pieces and redesigns them for the masses. When rebuilding her vintage pieces, she admits to occasionally feeling "a bit reluctant to share my stuff with millions of people", but says: "I'm not possessive. I'm a bit caring-sharing. You don't get precious about clothes when you're in fashion. You know. Easy come."
Last year Moss had her perfect pair of pyjamas made in Hong Kong, but her boyfriend stole them ("Jamie lived in that pyjama top all summer") so she's included a silk copy in the new range, which also features a selection of luxe lingerie. "And I've test-run all the underwear, too. My boyfriend likes the lot. It's all very sexy, but not nasty-sexy, glamorous-sexy. Not vulgar. I love the lounging suit, and I do like a pyjama. I wore a pair out as eveningwear in New York once, and there was a massive snowstorm. We couldn't get a cab, so I had to walk home in them. It was freezing, but they did look good."
She takes alternate sips from a bottle of water and a glass of white wine, and wipes a glint of glitter from her left cheekbone. "When I work with photographers I become a muse, sort of. But it's not me. It's this character that they make me into. I've no idea why people are so interested in me. It makes me a bit uncomfortable talking about it, actually." She twists awkwardly in her chair. "I don't like being famous, no. It… encroaches on your life. A lot. It's something I'm still learning to deal with. If I can keep people interested in my work for another few years I'll be happy. But the thing I'm always most proud of is my daughter. She's seven now, and vice captain of her class! My goodness!" Moss opens her mascara-ed eyes as wide as they'll go. "I've never been vice captain of anything! She wants to be a chef, and her imaginary husband is a chef too. I was mother of the bride at their imaginary wedding, standing on the side holding her imaginary baby."
The Kate Moss for Topshop plan is to go expensive. The next collection will be smaller – fewer vests and T-shirts, more £100 dresses and limited edition jackets. "I don't think people buy these things because they want to look like me," Moss says. "They buy them because they know that I have an input, and that I really know about fashion, about fit. And so I should," she says, looking suddenly wise and briefly weary. "I've had 20 years. Twenty years of clothes on my back."
