More than a few women want to look like Kate Moss, so it was an act of pure genius when Topshop enlisted the supermodel to design a collection under its name back in 2007. Although it was mostly developed for the European market, the odd piece appeared on the racks at the local Lane Crawford.
This new collection is more luxe in terms of fabric and attention to detail. Expect silk chiffons sourced in London, gold lame from Italy and plenty of detail from embroidery to embellishments. Moss has included many styles directly inspired by pieces from her own wardrobe — think boho-inspired dresses and well-cut tuxedo jackets.
The most recognisable pieces from her personal archives include a one shoulder yellow dress (HK$1,089, the original was vintage) and a black cami embellished with sequinned stars (HK$969), which was inspired by her 30th birthday party outfit. If you are a fellow Glastonbury fan, you will gravitate towards the suede fringe jacket (HK$2,899) and wide-legged paisley print trousers (HK$709). Our favourites, however, were the evening pieces, including the 1920s-inspired beaded fringe dress (HK$3,299) and cocktail dress with feathers dusting the shoulders (HK$1,699).
We may not all look like La Moss, but we can try.
