Kate Moss For TopShop

[Fliss]

I found the material on the black dress to be awful, it wasn't latex but more a scratchy cheap feeling material, quite hard to describe. I was expecting a much better quality material and when I tried it on today it just wasn't flattering at all and I'm a size 8 so I thought it'd be okay but I was quite put off (though it looked alright if you pose like Kate did on the Vogue cover ) I think it's one of those dresses you definitely have to try on before you buy!

fliss, i was wondering about that exact dress! that's one of the few items i am interested in...but i'm in the states (and not in nyc). thanks for telling us about it. but i wonder..even if it feels cheap..does it look cheap?

i love the pictures those of you who have bought things have posted..you look great!

based on your comments..sizing seems all over the place. if a uk size 6 in topshop is like a French 34 or US 4 in H&M..then it will be too big for me. do the dresses in the line run small for the most part?

 

[Fliss]

You're more than welcome elschic! To me it just had no sort of shape to it which I think made me dislike it. There was also a thin bit of material underneath the top layer which was strange and caused it to become a little oddly shaped. Overall I think it did look a little cheap but it had potential to look better than it did when I tried it on, just as long as you're willing to work at it! In my opinion it's not the sort of dress you could just throw on and it look great, unless you're a model of course!

For the Americans who want a piece of Kate and don't live in NY, in DC I just walked past the Barney's Coop in Georgetown and they have a display of kate's face and a mannequin with a pic of her face, and a huge sign saying it will be coming May 9...so I guess more than just the Barney's in NY will be carrying it.

That's an amazing article. It sums up my opinion (apart from the comment about M by Madonna collection, I saw it in the shop and it looked really interesting designwise and of good quality). I guess Topshop knows very well how to push consumers buttons but I'm afraid they only sell dreams/fantasies (ie if I buy a KM top, I'll have a bit of the KM magic dust on me and maybe my life will be more glamourous -in very simplistic way of speaking-) But here they really push it to the max (if I consider the reports on the material/fit). imo they're completely taking the pxxx. Now of course every consumer makes the choice or not to buy a piece of the KM collection and it's up to them.

gardenpea, the credit for posting the article here belongs to Avant Garde, I was merely agreeing with the article.

Is this the case of mass manipulation through celebrity endorsement? Phillip Green (Topshop's head honcho) must be laughing his way to the bank.

I'm debating getting some on the 9th when it comes out in NYC, is it worth it?

!!!

haha Lena, those 2 dresses are SOOOO BAD, i have no words. at least the other items have some sort of shape going on. These are bad bad quality, shapeless and on top of everything look super cheap.

honestly i have NO words for the red and that wet look black one

 

[Harrods Girl]

That black dress is really looking cheaper and cheaper by the minute.

 

[fashionispoison]

ew. the black dress with those horrid white chunky shoes looks really bad.

 

[farren fashion]

i didn't really like most of the collection. i did like that one shouldered yellow dress. it was pretty cute. other than that... nothing new.

 

[liberty33r1b]

oh god, peaches looks so horrible in that dress! totally ruins it for me.

 

[loonaka]

I actually didn't like that dress much on Kate either

 

[lick1987]

I recieved the denim shorts that i ordered online today. I was initially very excited......BUT there were a few problems.
1. they don't fit. can't do up the buttons! im usually a 6-8 and after hearing that the sizes run small, i ordered an 8, but i cant fit into that which was very depressing

2. They are extremely short. Shorter than i thought. I think they might be too short for casualwear and be more for clubbing. I'm looking for classic denim shorts I can wear all summer.

I dont know whether to a. return it b. exchange it for the next size up or c. exchange it for something from the normal topshop line which has plenty of nicer summer stuff.

On the plus side, the shorts had a little swallow ( or some kinda bird) chain attached to the belt hoops or whatever u call them, which was pretty cute.

I always thought i was pretty much on the slim side until now. i guess it's true that the clothes only look good on supermodels.

 

[impossibleprincess]

To be honest I think Topshop do better denim hotpants from their usual line...Kate's ones have the double buttons at the waist which have been copied from the Diesel ones she wears...I would exchange it for something else, something a little more original from her collection...but if you love them, get the next size up-i bet they look great on you anyways!

for our Parisian moss-ettes

TOP SHOPPING: She may be London's style sweetheart, but Kate Moss had her French fashion followers lining up outside the uberhip Colette store, where her collaboration collection with the British fast-fashion firm is being sold exclusively in France. But Moss' Parisiennes will have to be patient. "We only received one third of the collection," said Colette's buyer, Sarah Lerfel, who allowed for only three items per shopper. The rest of the collection will trickle in throughout the month and into June. Let's hope deliveries are better for Barneys New York, which launches the line on Wednesday.
