This month sees the return of a unique fashion icon. For many, it will be the ideal excuse to run to London. For others, it will be an example of our society's double-standards. For a lot of people, it will be the most anticipated fashion event of the winter, and for Topshop it will be a chance to repeat a recent success. For Kate Moss, nothing to prove as we know what will happen: the collection will once again sell out, because, suprising at it may be (is it, really?), there are a lot of women out there wanting to look like the infamous British model.
What to expect? It's classic Kate: rock and roll, leather jackets and skinny jeans, with some vintage-inspired dresses. Quite dark, black is the main colour, together with blues, greys, pale pinks and a few sparkly fabrics.
The key garments? We bet the Leopard Dress (pictured above right) will be the fastest to sell out.
Is it worth it? The collection is hardly ground-breaking. There is nothing innovative as it basically gathers from recent trends (chiffon blouses, faux fur, leather jackets) what Kate would wear. It will please Moss' fans, and Topshop's pockets in the midst of the credit crunch.
Kate is still the icon thousands follow. She didn't go out of style, she didn't give fashion magazines a break, disappearing for a short while, not even a holiday. She made her personal wardrobe public, the world watched in awe, and fiercely bought. Topshop is counting the days, so are thousands of shoppers wanting to steal the model's style.
