Kate Moss For TopShop

[SiennaInLondon]

Wow, the collection looks really really bad on the models.

The collection turned out pretty crap.

Crap collection and even crapper models. What is that about? At least use Kate only to model.

I love the collection!! Its gorgeous. Yo have to see it for yourself first before judging!!

I'm not sure if this is a knockoff of a knockoff, or they are made in the same factory, but Forever 21 has a tank top with a very similar striped print in stores right now.

MOSS BE QUICK

ALREADY counting down to the launch of Kate Moss' debut collection for TopShop on May 1? We don't mean to throw a spanner in the works, but you'd better clear your diary for April 30 too: the flagship store on Oxford Street is holding a special launch event. The store will close early, at 5.30pm, for two-and-a-half hours of feverish preparation before unveiling a new window at 8pm - and opening its doors on Ms Moss' hotly anticipated collection for the first time. Every 150 people in the queue will be issued with a different coloured wristband, which will entitle their colour group to shop in the Kate Moss section for 20 minutes (though the kind security people realise you will require extra time to drag your haul through the tills). Purchases are limited to five pieces per person, but you will get a shopping guide and goody bag thrown in. The store anticipates being open until midnight - then there's time for a quick few hours' beauty sleep before it re-opens at 7am for the madness to start all over again. Hurrah! Don't fancy fending off the crowds? The collection will also be available at www.topshop.com from around 6am on May 1.

Other than bin bag dress, it is all hideous. I wish people would stop believing that style is about what you own when it isn't.

Spot on Sienna!!!
Most people could go into Kate's actual closet and wear her actual clothes and still not look as good.
It's just her attitude that makes her a style icon and unfortunately she can't sell that.

I just found some old photos of the floral tea dress which is also featured in the topshop collection. I guess this dress was shortened sometime in 2005 because its quite a bit longer here in 2003:

So its not an exact copy of the original afterall [ok, maybe it is ]

Who are you talking to? Your post does not make any sense as a response to any post in this thread.

If you are talking to me, thanks Captain Obvious, as discussed in ad nauseum in this thread, most of the clothing line was copied off of pieces she already had in her closet.

Why would anyone want to be a 'walking advertisement' for Kate Moss? To be honest, her collection is just typically Topshop with a few pieces that look like they are from River Island.

I find it cheeky for one to think their collection is going to be a sell out (it probably will be, people are such conformist - baa, baa!) - anyway...its a perfect 'case study' the whole 'hype up' around Topshop shutting their doors at 5pm on the 30th April, then opening at 8pm and giving individuals wrist bands to have a 20 minute shopping spree of Kate's collection - doors shut at 12am!

This is hyper-consumption at its best.

from vogue.com...

JEFF BANKS is the latest voice to wade into what's fast becoming the Great Kate Debate: whether non-designers should be designing clothes. "Can Kate sharpen a pencil or draw a matchstick man? I wouldn't put money on it," the disgruntled designer - who recently created clothes for London's 2012 Olympic bid - said. "I'll bet [Kate Moss] just grabbed one of her many Prada bags, rifled through her wardrobe ... and turned up at TopShop's head office in Oxford Street for a quick hour's briefing with the in-house designers and buying staff." TopShop was quick to hit back, however: "Kate Moss has had a huge input in the range at every level, from the design concept of the garments to the fitting and the logo. The fashion industry may be a different place to one Jeff Banks is used to. Top designers like John Galliano don't cut patterns, they have pattern cutters. That's the industry." Henry Holland also backed Kate. "If you don't like the clothes, say that," he said. "There's no need to attack her personally." The supermodel shouldn't be too upset - Banks has a bit of a reputation for sniping. He once deemed Stella McCartney's designs "amateurish" and said Alexander McQueen's were "a bit like The Emperor's Clothes". "In my opinion they are totally unwearable and don't sell," he added. We don't think Kate has too much to worry about. (April 25 2007, AM)

i'm sorry topshop.... had a huge input in the logo?? she pointed at the one she liked best!

 

[InnocentFairy]

^^ Lol. Oh dear...oh dear...

 

[Lena]

it's so dated.. i see this as a bigtime flop both for TS and KM

 

[natalea52]

whatever happens, it will make a ton of money and i think will sell out incredibly quickly, all you have to do is look at the amount of fashion influence Kate has, the amount of young women who emulate her stlye and how much her look that is copied sells out in shops such as topshop to see that this collection will do v well, in my opinion.it is not gonna be a flop for Topshop, they will do v v nicely out of it

A REAL DUMMY

The hype around Kate Moss’ debut collection for TopShop continues to grow, with a new rumour circulating that the supermodel is planning on joining the mannequins in the window of the Oxford Circus store the day her clothes go on sale. An insider claimed, “Kate plans to pose as a mannequin. Her biggest problem will be not giggling among the dummies. When the red curtain is drawn back and Kate has been seen in some of her items, the doors will open and the outfits will officially go on sale.” Kate Moss for TopShop will be in stores on 1 May.

Oh dear for Kate and Topshop.

I wonder if there will be a male designer for Topman?
