kate moss & the power of her retail marketing genius are unmatched. one of the most successful celebrity-fashion partnerships in the fast fashion market, kate presents her holiday collection. inspired by vintage sleepwear from the 30′s the collection also gives customers options with jersey dresses, cropped coats, victorian jackets & limited edition sequin maxi dresses. taking inspiration for oriental prints, the collection boasts charming pieces in silk & satin, lurex & a faux fur coat. what i think is most impressive about this collection is the fact that kate, a living influential legend of the fashion industry, actually wears the pieces. kate’s presence in the industry since her smashing debut on the scene in 1993 ushered in a new era of model prototypes. her influence is still ever present in todays fashion market, as her continued partnership with sir philip green & the top shop name have allowed the brand to make a successful transition to a US market, despite the economic downturn. one of my favorite pieces in the collection is this oriental butterfly print kimono. completely chic & still very simple. one thing i love about fashion, regardless of gender limitations or style boundaries is its, “effortless chic” factor- the ability to throw it on & feel dope about your look & how you feel. collection in stores & available for purchase at topshop.com.
