Blimey. The Kate Moss for Topshop collection have pieces on sale at Barneys New York. How very delightful. I totally love the Brit store ever since I was thirteen, when its sister shop, Miss Selfridge opened in the Middle east. I would always take my mum to go shop there, even if she insisted on taking me to uber-bland Marks & Spencer. Don't get me wrong, their hand creams are so much nicer than American-based Victoria's secret and I adore their chocolate-covered Digestive cookies. So yeah, they have Miss Selfridge a couple of years back and well, wouldn't you know, they opened a Topshop store in Manila as well! Before I left for the states, I've stocked up on a lot of Topshop basics. Too bad they haven't opened here-well, not yet but soon.
Back, to the Kate Moss for Topshop collection. She epitomizes the alternative fusion of the casual-meets-catwalk fashion. My goodness, she could wear a bra over her head and people would be raving about it the next day. Erm, maybe not. Her designs are practical- not too frilly, not quite girly, with a bit of rock n' roll (as influenced by her on and off boyfriend Pete Doherty, methinks). We could see a lot of groupie-inspired fashion in fall's runway. Think Alexander McQueen and the 'rebel without a cause take on his designs'. Oooh, and who could forget the talented Ms. Luella Bartley for her famous Luella for Target line. I wish I had gotten myself one of her cute, little, long-chained tin purses. That was barely a year ago. And the t-shirt trend I have been seeing reproduced everywhere is from the Henry Holland's House of Holland collection, with Agyness Deyn as his muse/collaboration partner. The vibrant and funky colors and outrageous sayings on the t-shirts (Flick yer beans for Agyness Deyn..err, huh?) are amusing, really.
Speaking of t-shirts, I have yet to finish Island Tribe's collection and I'm several shirts behind. I took time-off from designing to focus on my cute little Ava, who now babbles incessantly. Message me, if you would like to buy shirts or go here.
