Yesterday was the launch of Kate Moss' new collection for Topshop. You can see it all here.
Some things are sold out already. The $510 diamante mini dress for example is sold out (online at least).
I don't know, personally I don't love it. The collection is heavy on short dresses, little jackets and knit tops. The only jean option, the bleached skinny jean, is heinous. And the tiny "hotpants", just ridiculous - - as we know from paparazzi photos, nearly no one can wear those and look good. Only airbrushed models and 12 year olds should be wearing shorts that short. The price points aren't cheap either... the most flagrant example is a $70 scarf made out of POLYESTER, please, as if anyone sane would even wear a scarf made of polyester, forget about paying $70 for it.
Anyway, I still haven't been to a Topshop since ours in NYC just opened Thurs. So I don't know how the quality is. I'd be curious to take a look at how well they are sewn, etc. Do the high-ish prices (for Topshop) come with decent quality or is one just paying extra for the Kate Moss name?
The New York Times today has a nice article desribing the scene at the store opening, read here.
