Helmut Newton + Topshop!

HelmutNewton79_i3-thumb.jpg Topshop’s third collection with Kate Moss launches tomorrow, but that’s not the only exciting thing happening for the brand:


They’ve got a very cool collaboration in the works with Helmut Newton’s foundation.

The legendary photographer left behind an incredible legacy of fashion photos, and Topshop has been given special permission to use them in the store - and to recreate Newton’s famous (infamous?) “fashion machine,” a one-of-a-kind photo booth that allows the model to be her own lighting designer and photographer.

Topshop girls will get a chance to play with the machine inside their famous flagship store, and at least get a chance to pretend they’re Kate Moss…

Meanwhile in more Topshop news, their latest designer collaboration happens with William Broome, the graphic designer best known for his work with Marc Jacobs.

Kate for Sale

Kate Moss by Irving Penn.jpgDoes anybody have an extra $40,000 dollars laying around?


Because we’re going to need it to get a piece of Kate at next month’s Christie’s auction.

On April 10th in the middle of the afternoon, 135 prints from the private collection of German photographer Gert Elfering will go up for auction at Rockefeller Center.

Nude prints of Kate and Gisele shot by Irving Penn are among the most sought after, as are Avedon portraits of Brigitte Bardot, a semi-topless Lauren Hutton, and even The Beatles, along with prints shot by Man Ray, Mapplethorpe, Helmut Newton, Diane Arbus and Horst P. Horst.

We’re kind of wondering where some of these pieces will be hung once the lucky betters take them home. Would it be in bad taste to have a naked Kate in the entry way? How about nude Gisele in the kitchen?
