Kate Moss: September 2007

Kate Moss for TopShop: Is the Second Collection Sold Out?

Sep 21, 2007 @ 1:20pm

switch3_normal.jpgThere 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...

What Katie Did Next

of course it was courtney.jpgWhen life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

That's exactly what Kate Moss did Tuesday night at the V&A Ball, when Courtney Love trampled the train of her vintage Dior couture gown, ripping the back right open.

What's a supermodel to do?

Take it in stride, of course. In a move reminiscent of '90s-era Mentos commercials in which the best was always made of a wardrobe malfunction, Ms. Moss headed to numerous afterparties after some clever adjustments--

the supermodel nixed the three-foot train and instead tied the dress around her waist, going from glamorous to glam rock in the blink of a fiercely-lined eye.
