Kate Moss - posting requires reading thread rules, see post #1

She looked so happy (and :crush: beautiful!) at the Mulberry show. Her facial expressions and smiles are priceless.

I like her outfit better sitting down than standing though.. :blush: :ninja:
 
I am fascinated by the business decisions that she makes. I don't know if she's a great business person or if she has a great business manager/agent, but she always seems to make very savvy decisions.

Like partnering with Topshop was such a better idea than doing a one off for H&M or any other retailer.

I was surprised when she did a bag collection with Longchamp rather than Mulberry, but I bet that was also a good decision because Longchamp has greater global visibility and helped her spread her "brand".

I'm really curious as to why she chose to partner with Fred instead of another Jewelry retailer. I'm really disappointed she chose to go with a retailer with no presence in the Americas, but that's probably where her popularity is the lowest, so that might have been a reasonable business decision to make.

I think the timing of the collaboration and the price point are very savvy. Her fans are probably a bit older now (the ones who were in college when she did her Topshop collab are probably all in their 20's and working now) and the jewelry is priced at a level where it's affordable for young woman, but not cheap of course. I think it's perfect for women in their twenties and thirties.

I know if I can purchase the line, I'll probably pick up a ring or two. I just hope Fred makes it possible for U.S. customers to buy the line.

She choose Fred because she's been the figure of the brand for a long time now so she said it was natural to create something with them :)

for those ppl who don't live in France, maybe they can resort to eBay for her jewelry line.

Yeah, I came across this quote earlier today, it's from a Fred executive from 2008 when they replaced Audrey Marney as their spokesperson with Kate "We needed a more international icon that would resonate across all our markets, in particular Asia"

I bought some of her Topshop stuff off Ebay. There's no way I'm going to buy hundred dollar jewelry off of Ebay. If Fred doesn't want Americans as customers, that's fine.
 
The ELLE spread is great.
It's nice to see that Jamie accepted to be pictured with his wife for the ed. They both look so much in love.:wub:
 
Last night I was thinking about what other products she could do now that's she's done handbags, clothes, perfume, make-up (lipstick) and jewelry and I came up with the best idea: Kate Moss cigarettes. YSL has their own line, so why not?
 
Does anyone know from which magazine does this come? It's Banana Republic F/W 1992 ad with Kate Moss?

banana republic ads run in every major fashion magazine here (for example vogue, glamour, elle, bazaar mademoiselle, mirabella etc) (i mentioned defunct magazines to give you an idea of where it might have come from)

its a chain store that is in EVERY mall here.

i've never seen those ads before, good find!

you might try asking hfgl, she's very familar with magazines of that era.
