At this point in the game, the only way to possibly survive is to inhale coffee and water all the time.
So my first stop at the Topshop Unique show yesterday afternoon was the bathroom. Down a hallway and around the corner, I almost ran smack into Jefferson Hack and turned as bright pink as my new brogues. The ladies’ room itself was empty save a woman in a grey hat and strappy snakeskin sandals brushing her teeth. Once in a stall I thought, wait, no, really?
It was. Do you know how hard it is to wash your hands next to Kate Moss brushing her teeth and not stare? She was apparently distraught over someone trying to take her picture. Hopefully someone explained that all anyone wants to do is take pictures of Kate Moss and that she probably shouldn’t attend fashion shows if she’s decided to turn camera shy.
The show itself, styled by Katie Grand and opened with Dree Hemingway, featured more wacky 80s gear like last season. There was oversized studded denim layered over what looked like neon latex suits, brightly colored dresses, messy hair and and a whole punk rock jock thing – think studded letterman jackets – that was like Alex Wang on acid.
It was fun to watch, but a bit hard to give my undivided attention with Kate Moss present.
