If you want to look like you’ve stumbled
out of Coachella sans gumboots, mud and a coke addiction, been hanging out with
your main girl Naomi Campbell or just graced a premier with J-Depp, Kate Moss’
Topshop collection is for you.
It’s pretty much all the iconic stuff
you’ve seen Kate wear over the last 20 years.
Or as Fashion Assistant at Australian Vogue
Petta Chua - speaking at the event - put it:
“When I saw this collection there was a
couple of things that really jumped out at me.
“And that’s because I remembered Kate
wearing similar things in photos.
“I just thought, ‘Oh wow.’ As somebody
who’s really loved her and loved her dress sense, being able to own a piece of
that is so special.”
It’s her 15th collection for the
brand, the first in four years.
In 2010 Kate announced her last collection
for Topshop.
But hey, it’s Kate Moss, so she can do what
she wants.
Her latest opus is laced with all the same
Kate Mossian themes – grunge, nostalgia and casual elegance.
“She has such a great collection of vintage
clothes,” says Petta.
“And that comes through in this collection.
“You can see with the embroidery and the
detailing, you can just feel how much she loves vintage clothes.”
Some pieces seem pretty derivative, if not exact copies, of designs she's worn in the past.
But as Kate said herself: "What people say isn't going to stop me. I have to do things for myself."

The same items will be across all Topshop
stores, from the Oxford Street flagship to yours truly BNE.
Make sure to pick something up for the next
time you’re holidaying in the Bahamas, going to an Elite Model Agency Party or shooting
with Patrick Demarchelier.
