[loonaka]

OMG, the some ppl at ebay have unbelievable prizes, not fair

 

[vogueness]

their website is driving me insane. I don't know why people are disappointed in the Collection - it's not as if she is a top designer - she is just assembling a collection based on her look which it does pretty faithfully

 

[fashionispoison]

i give up! i'm waiting for my local barneys

source, yahoo news/reuters

crowds outside and her in the window. absolute madness.

also looking at some of the news articles: from reuters, "Mary Durmond, a 26-year-old from France who queued for eight hours, praised Moss for "always dressing in the right thing"".

according to "rugby advertiser", she only stood in the window for 10 seconds? which is a gret contrast to eight hours.

 

[russh_kris_z]

I think the thread one page before they were disappointed inthe website not the collection itself(well some people anyways)??

 

[fashionispoison]

^ wow. i'm not sure i would have wanted to be one of them. looks crazy scary!

 

[Strand]

Does anyone know when the next batch of designs will go online? All the dresses I planned on buying haven't been put on the website yet.

/\ Quite soon I think? I think i remember reading june for the high summer collection, not sure. I suppose it is a good representation of her style, but theres only a few (actually two to be exact) pieces I would have bought, def. nothing worth ebay prices.

From vogue.co.uk:

KATE'S SHOPPING FRENZY

"CAN I help you madam? What size are you looking for?" asked Sir Philip Green as he helped a woman find the right size floral dress at Kate Moss' TopShop launch last night. The supermodel herself sipped Champagne on the shop floor for a few moments to witness the first crowds run down the store's escalator (200 people were allowed in at a time and the queue snaked around not two, but three street corners), but customers were too intent on grabbing garments to even notice Ms Moss watching from the sidelines. Moments earlier, she had appeared in the window wearing a full-length red belted dress, laughing with security guards before the curtain went up because it kept snagging. So what does Sir Philip make of the retail hysteria he has created? "For me, it's all about running a business and making a financially successful decision." And why, in his opinion, is this particular collection so popular? "Just look at the pieces here," he says, picking up a striped waistcoat and a blue floral floaty top, "they are all just innately part of Kate's style, they have her initials embroidered onto them, so people can really feel that they're wearing the same clothes that their style icon wears." As darkness fell, the crowds outside certainly weren't giving up the wait. With only five items allowed per person, changing rooms were full to bursting and shoppers were getting frantic as what began as neatly piled items lay strewn on the floor. An incredible sight and certainly the most sought-after high street collection in history, but pity the poor shop assistants who have to clear up this morning. (May 1 2007, AM)

do topshop sell men's wear?

No way would I embarrass myself running to get clothes. I don't care who designed them. Similar looks can be found elsewhere without the hassle and indignity.
