I think it was based off of the movie love story- which was also the blatant inspiration of jbrand.

That's different - being inspired by something then copying it totally. Sorry Kate, I'm not with you on this one. That is plagiarism.

well to be on kate's side- there are a few companie's inspired by "love story" the movie. i even saw a fashion spread in Oprah Mag. 
you can't really call it plagarism because no one can own such a general term and not only that, but it's being inspired by a movie. like "casablanca"
no one complained when she copied the siwy jean for topshop either!

Culture clinic: Kate Moss
In our new series, Kate Moss submits to a little light therapy. Kate Weinberg reports
Patient's notes
Name: Kate Moss
Age: 33
Job: Model/businesswoman
Last book read: De Profundis by Oscar Wilde
Last film seen: Guerrilla: The Taking of Patty Hearst
Last music heard: Peter, Bjorn and John, Young Folks
Last dose of live culture: Glastonbury Festival 2007
Patient examination
The ending of which film/book has most disappointed you?
KM: Dr Zhivago. The story of a failed love affair makes me cry.
Which teacher do you remember best from school?
KM: Mr Humphreys, my art teacher, was the only one who had any belief in me or the rest of the class. He had a tear in his eye when I went back to do a shoot for Vogue magazine.
Which public figure do you think is most overrated?
KM: Anyone in politics.
What question are you never asked and most want to answer?
KM: I hate answering questions, but it would be quite nice to hear: "Kate, are we bothering you?"
If you could have lived in a different era, which one would it be?
KM: Probably the 1920s or 1960s because of the music and fashion.
Who are you most like, your mother or your father?
KM: My mother. We share the same sense of humour.
What, in human history, do you wish had never been invented?
KM: The camera phone.
Which historical figure would you most like to sit next to on a long-haul flight and why?
KM: Elvis in 1956. What do you mean: "Why?"
Where would you most want to be stranded in the world?
KM: Any room in my country house gives me a feeling of peace.
Name something that you truly believe in.
KM: "Don't let the bastards get you down."
Our diagnosis
So you hate questions, and you aren't exactly long-winded, either. In Culture Clinic terms, you're suffering from a severe case of closed-book-itis. On the one hand, fair enough. Public life has obviously taken its toll. Your default stance is to be cynical, defensive and take a Greta Garbo attitude to the world: the beautiful recluse. But I don't buy it. There are shades of the funny, the wistful and even the sentimental in your answers that probably put that tear in your art teacher's eye. And while a lot of great art has been made about not letting the bastards get you down, a lot of it is about realising that they're not all bastards, either...
Our prescription
Recommended film
Roman Holiday, starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck (1953). The princess in this film would know just how you feel about camera phones: everyone wants a piece of her, too.
Sneaking out of the palace on a diplomatic trip to Rome, she gets a haircut and a taste for a different kind of life, namely riding around on the back of a Vespa holding a man with one hand and an ice cream with the other.
She also picks the worst possible candidate to fall in love with: a journalist who plans to shop her exploits to the paper. The surprising absence of a Hollywood ending makes this film a lot more than a light-hearted romantic classic. The message is that everyone from bored princess to jaded hack can have their world view refreshed if they take a look at life from the other side of the lens.
Recommended book
Infidel: My Life by Ayaan Hirsi Ali (2007). Here is the story of a real-life heroine that will not only defy your notion that everyone in politics is overrated, but offer humbling amounts of perspective, too. Hirsi Ali is a Somali-born former member of the Dutch parliament, who recently faced death threats after collaborating on a film about domestic violence with the controversial director Theo van Gogh (who was himself assassinated).
The extraordinary and suspenseful account of her life charts the course of a beautiful woman born into a family of desert nomads, circumcised as a child, educated by radical imams in Kenya and Saudi Arabia and taught to believe that terrible tragedies would ensue if she uncovered her hair. Through sheer force of character, she escaped her destiny, transforming herself into a renowned spokeswoman for the rights of female Muslims and an inspiration to women all over the world.
Recommended CD
Elvis at Sun (2004). If you were trying to hit on Elvis on a flight in 1956, you'd want to have done your homework. For example, it might be useful to know that the previous year he'd had some hits on local radio stations including Mystery Train and Trying to Get to You. He would not have travelled on a plane before - 1956 was the year he made the train journey to Memphis to record his first massive hit Heartbreak Hotel.
In other words, he may have been a nervous passenger. Even the King needs his hand holding sometimes.

I don't want to get too off topic, but if indeed her Topshop line is inspired by the book/movie 'Love Story' than those preppy looks make plenty of sense. But Kate herself has never been American prep, and in my mind the story is too schmaltzy and syrupy sweet for Kate. I'm sorry I mis - ID ed thos jeans then if this is true.
Also, I love how succint her answers always are. Brevity is the soul of wit.
