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."
