There was no lavish opening party and no PR explosion, but Kate Moss' second collection for TopShop is still flying from their Oxford Street store.
We stopped by the scene of the crime this afternoon while searching for a trench coat, and although the rest of TopShop was bustling, the built-in Kate boutique was mobbed. Blouses and dresses were furiously grabbed by packs of girls, jeans were hurriedly scooped, and the salesgirl in charge of the section frowned when asked about the heart-button cardigan: Apparently, it zoomed from the store in a few hours, though they can replenish it from stock.
If you're planning on ordering online, here's some advice:
The striped sweater is made from great wool and fits very snug, which we think is really sexy. The floral dress has the exact same cut as our favorite frock from the first season; the only difference is its darker colors. And the shrunken leather jacket is totally the one piece that only looks good on Kate - seriously, do not attempt.
Although, from the looks of things, that jacket will be the only thing left in a couple of days...

really? the heart button cardigan has been out for a month or so and there's plenty left in the online shop.. the only thing that sold out fast was the clover print tea dress.
