Kate Moss Tapped To Star in New Absolutely Fabulous Movie

And the Oscar goes to… Kate Moss? Ok, so maybe that’s a stretch. But it sounds like the ever-enduring face of Ms. Moss could finally be coming to a big screen near you–that is, if Jennifer Saunders has any say in the matter.

Saunders, the creator and star of Absolutely Fabulous, enlisted Moss for an Ab Fab cameo back in March, and apparently was muy impressed. Vogue UK is reporting (via Closer magazine) that Saunders is in the process of writing up a screenplay based on the long-running BBC sitcom, and there’s a role in it for Miss Moss.

Only Moss hasn’t signed off on the project just yet.

If you doubted that Absolutely Fabulous was going to be able to stage a comeback, well, you’re wrong. They pulled off a successful Christmas special (featuring Stella McCartney nonetheless), more episodes are forthcoming, and a feature film is reportedly in the works. So what now?

The AbFab ladies just scored an advertising campaign with jeweler Alexis Bittar. Vogue UK caught up with the ladies and designer at the campaign shoot.

Edina and Patsy don lots of bangles and kitschy New York Americana, and vamp for the camera.

Ab Fab Is Reportedly Headed to the Big Screen

The ladies of Absolutely Fabulous are apparently pulling a Sex and the City maneuver and moving their franchise to the big screen. The Hollywood Reporter reports that co-creator and co-star Jennifer Saunders (Eddy) is planning to make the popular goofy Brit show into a movie. It’s a pretty long time coming, since the show originally debuted in 1992. But the show has seen a resurgence since airing a special over the holidays (its first show in six years) that was both popular and favorably reviewed by critics. (You’ll be able to catch it in the US on BBC America in January.)

NY Mag published an interview with Jennifer Saunders earlier this week, and they asked her about rumors of an Ab Fab movie.

This morning we were reading about Stella McCartney‘s holiday party, where Edina Jennifer Saunders and Baby Spice Emma Bunton were among the guests in attendance. “Hmm, that’s odd,” we thought. “And super awesome.” Well, it just got better.

After being off the air since 2004, a new season of Absolutely Fabulous is making its debut this month. And both Stella McCartney and Emma Bunton will make cameos, the Telegraph is reporting.

Fashion News Roundup: Models On The Big Screen, Buy H&M Online Today Only, and McQueen: Savage Beauty In London Rumor

Rumor: McQueen: Savage Beauty Going To London? A McQueen spokesperson said there have been tentative talks with some London venues but an official announcement will be made if/when they reach a decision. Though there’s no comment from the Met, this sounds like something, if not the exact exhibit, is in the works! {Telegraph}

Elle and H&M One-Day-Only E-Commerce: Starting at noon today you can buy four looks from H&M’s fall collection on Elle’s website. An H&M spokesperson said it’s a preview of their full e-commerce launching next spring. Don’t worry if it sells out though–the full fall collection hit stores in two days. {WWD}

Models In Film: Gemma Ward and Dree Hemingway Cast In Films: Ward was recently cast in the upcoming production of The Great Gatsby (fingers crossed for her as Jordan), and now there are reports that Hemingway will star in the film adaptation of Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You alongside Lucy Liu. The fall cinema lineup is looking good! {Modelinia}

Rei Kawakubo Isn’t Excited About Fashion Anymore: She told the Wall Street Journal that “there are not enough of us believing in the same thing, that there is a kind of burnout, that people just want cheap fast clothes and are happy to look like everyone else.” I somewhat agree. {The Cut}
