Topshop have been onto a winner since hiring supermodel Kate Moss to design for them. Styled on her own wardrobe, she's been giving us a taste of the catwalk designers at high street prices, and has always hit the right fashion mark. Since 2007 her collections have been selling out in a matter of hours, and her summer 2010 collection is sure to do the same.
Here’s a preview of the collection and some of its signature ideas...
It’s all about the Kate Moss dress
Floral print – Kate knows that this summer it’s all about the floral print. It’s a favourite for every catwalk and high street this season, so Kate uses it throughout the collection. There’s a variety of prints for tops and dresses, from a pale beige dress (£70), to a yellow slip (£50). There’s every type of dress possible (maxi, short, summer dress, evening), so there’s something out there for any body type.
Maxi Dress – The collection is focused around dresses and the most striking of these are her maxi dresses. Kate models for the campaign posters a leaf-print green maxi dress (£75) that is sure to be popular. Other maxi dresses to look out for is a yellow tiered maxi (£150), a pale blue and beige Florence style (£120), and a halter blue maxi (£120).
Lace – the use of black and white lace features in a few items, but doesn’t take away the focus of the floral print for this collection. In particular an evening black laced dress (£70) will go great with a pair of heels, or lace black shorts (£60) can be dressed up with a neutral toned top for a night out. Also look out for an ethereal white lace trim blouse (£50).
All things small
Short Shorts – every fashionista needs a good pair of short shorts this summer and Kate gives us plenty of designs to choose from. From charming grey suede cutwork shorts (£70), to velvet ruffled hotpants (£60), make sure you get your pins into shape to show them off.
Embellishment – as with every collection Kate has designed, the small details pull the pieces together in a cohesive fashion. There’s diamante embellishment on maxi dresses, cord string detail that are used to fasten up a pair of denim shorts as well as act as straps for a floral maxi dress. It’s a feathered cape (£85), however, that shows off a flair for her chic detail.
Jumpsuit – the must-have item of the moment is the jumpsuit, and Topshop aren’t going to leave you hanging to find the right one. You’re spoilt for choice with a halter denim playsuit (£45), grey croquet detailed playsuit (£85) and a pale green satin jumpsuit (£100). Each piece doesn’t need much accessorising with just the right amount of embellishments on each.
Kate Moss's Topshop summer 2010 collection is available online from Friday 21st May 2010. Miss it at your own peril!
