Got something to hide, Kate Moss? Supermodel launches her latest Topshop line in VERY soft focus

With a top fashion photographer behind the camera, and one of the world's greatest models in front, expectations run pretty high. And Nick Knight's latest images of Kate Moss certainly delivered.
There are just four of the ethereal-looking shots, in which the supermodel showcases her latest collection for Topshop - and thanks to a very soft focus lens and bright back-lighting, a smoky-eyed Moss looks at least a decade younger than her 36 years.
For her 12th collection for the High Street giant, which launches on Friday, Moss continues to take inspiration from her own wardrobe. 'I just think of what I want to wear in the summer,' she says. 'They're all still really me.'

She admits that her penchant for a sexy look has seen hemlines inch higher and higher. 'I always like it to be sexy,' she told Grazia magazine. 'Even if I've done something quite classic, I always want it shorter - I want things shorter and shorter.'
She looks particularly stunning in a green leaf-print maxi (£75) accessorised with nothing more than oversized cocktail rings and loose wavy hair, while another shows her in a barely-there white lace 'angel-sleeve' frock (£70).

One image shows her in tiny striped lace-up shorts (£45) - no doubt inspired by the hotpants she is so frequently photographed wearing, while another allows just a glimpse of a sheer lace-trimmed blouse (£50).
The look is a far cry from recent make-up-free photographs which revealed how time and her hard-partying lifestyle has taken its toll on her skin.

But dresses, as stipulated by Topshop boss Sir Philip Green, are the main focus of the collection - no doubt in an effort to repeat the success of the pansy-print and clover-print designs from previous seasons.



'He always wants more dresses,' she revealed. 'Dresses, dresses, dresses. So I've done quite a few this time.'
And from minis to maxis, floaty pastels to statement prints, it's all there - every piece screaming boho Ibiza chic.
Shorts and playsuits also feature heavily in the summer 2010 line, in fabrics as diverse as velvet, lace and suede.
Embellishment comes in both glamorous (beads, chains and sequins) and folksy (appliqué flowers and crochet) guises, while a multicoloured feather shrug is pure fashion fantasy.
You'll need a slight Moss-like frame to pull of some of the more delicate pieces - this season's trend for underwear as outerwear is very much in evidence - but loose, floaty shapes and vintage-inspired cuts provide a forgiving alternative for curvier fans of the model's style.
In fact the whole collection is very wearable, and set to be standard attire, along with wellies and sunglasses, on the festival circuit this summer.

But the Kate Moss collection is not the only exciting launch to hit Topshop stores this season. Fashion insiders are eagerly awaiting the launch of up-and-coming label Meadham Kirchoff's first High Street collaboration (also launching Friday), which features pretty glitter polka dots.
The capsule collection will join lines by Richard Nicoll, Marios Schwab, Emma Cook and Ashish.

This month also saw the launch of the store's first - and long-awaited - collection of make-up, which, with its vibrant colours and on-trend packaging, has already proved a hit.
The Kate Moss collection is available worldwide from Friday at www.topshop.com; 0845 121 4579

I had my eye on the limited edition nude playsuit and all sizes were in stock when I checked this morning. But I checked back about half an hour later and most sizes were sold out. I shouldn't have umm and ahhed. So disappointed. Do you think it will come back in stock even though it's limited edition???

^it might do, can you not phone your nearest store ? or try customer services they might be of some help

 

[neonpeg]

Very disappointed. They obviously weren't making enough money of the expensive things, so they made her do more stuff people will actually wear...but you can get that in Topshop anyway??

 

[lizardlove]

^it might do, can you not phone your nearest store ? or try customer services they might be of some help

Customer services were rubbish, they sent me an automated reply that didn't answer my question. My nearest store don't stock the limited edition items. I think that's just London. Someone has put the playsuit on ebay for £299. What a joke!

 

[nita-karoliina]

So gorgeous collection. Gotta check the NYC store this weekend..

 

[gossiping]

i do like that long powder blue dress but since it's so heavily promoted it puts me off. people on ebay will be charging some stupid price.

 

[baytsym]

I ordered the nude playsuit, so excited for it to come!

After her first collection this one is probably my favourite.

 

[lizardlove]

^^Aw you're so lucky. I really wanted that. Which size did you order?

 

[baytsym]

I get really confused by topshop sizing because I'm a UK8-10, but not a US4-6...
but I still ordered a US 6 since my topshop clothes say US 6 on them...

I hope it fits!

 

[loonaka]

I'm not really a fan..there are some pieces I like but they're pretty expensive and knowing how the topshop quality is I don't think I'll waist my money..

 

[lucy92]

i'm not going to buy anything yet. im just going to wait until some of the items show up on ebay UK for half the price or less.

the long dresses look really really nice however.

Just went into my local Topshop and I have to say I'm unimpressed with the collection. I was quite excited by it when I saw the stuff on the website but in real life it's pretty tacky. I can't speak for the limited edition pieces as there weren't any there. I tried on the green mini dress. I like things short and am very petite but this was ridiculously short. More for teenagers I thought. The nicest thing I tried on was a sleeveless white blouse but didn't think it was worth £40 as it was a very thin cotton that appeared to crease very easily. I'm still lusting after the nude playsuit though. Yuki.e can you post pics when you get yours?

 

[vivalavida]

I love this and this

most of it is a bit pricey.. :-/

 

[helena]

this stuff is really honking!!!!!

 

[karen sofie]

I love the latest edition, but as vivalavida points out, it's sadly quite pricey..

 

[baytsym]

my playsuit arrived!!

front:

back:

on:

it's a US size 6 and a UK size 10...
although really I'm a US0-2, I find that the translation from UK to US sizes isn't really that accurate so I just go by what Topshop UK size I am (8-10).

I love it so much, even though it has all those buttons you don't have to undo them, you can just slip into it!
it was definitely worth it!
