Expect Kate Moss hysteria this weekend when the supermodel collection hits Zara
EXPECT moss hysteria at Zara this weekend as the world’s coolest supermodel launches a collection at the retailer.
Kate Moss announced the range yesterday, which appears to be drawn from her own famous looks over the years, as well as her Noughties collaboration with Topshop.
The Croydon-born 50-year-old said: “I wanted to create the perfect party capsule – effortlessly chic but with an edge.”
The day and night designs are put together by Kate and her celebrity stylist Katy England – and when it comes to party outfits, Mossy knows it.
Her collection combines “classic cuts with just the right glamor to get you through the festive season.”
Despite only being available in stores or online on Saturday, the buzz is just as big as when her Topshop debut line came out in 2007.
As well as the LBDs, tailoring and boho prints synonymous with Kate, there are shoes and accessories from €17.99.
As style bible Vogue shared a look on Instagram, fans posted flame and heart emojis.
One was enthusiastic, “Topshop 2.0” and many pieces are reminiscent of that.
Kate is known for her sheer maxi dresses, such as the floral dress she wore to the launch of her wellness brand Cosmoss in 2022, and she has designed another for Zara in an oriental style.
But fashion designer and stylist Kelsey Randall branded Kate’s Zara collection as ‘poorly made designer imitations’.
Style symbol
Kate looks at styles from her old shopping streets as well as the Lurex mini dress she wore at Glastonbury 2005.
But if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it – and Kate doesn’t want to rip off designers, but rather give fans some of her style.
She is a style symbol.
We call trends ‘very Kate Moss’ when we talk about perennials like the little black dress.
Her look is classic, so while her collection may not excite women who live for the latest trend, it will work for those who want clothes to last longer than one party season.
You’re more likely to see Kate with a battered Chanel bag from 20 years ago than with the latest must-have.
Women with style wear what they think is best – and Kate is one such woman.
And it’s what will drive other women to Zara.
Her Topshop debut generated sales of £3.5 million in its first week and her 14 ranges there made her millions.
Pieces have since sold for up to £1,157 on eBay.
Now her new gig could be bigger.
Will women be queuing on London’s Oxford Street on Saturday? Yes. Shall I? No.
There are some great buys out there, but I don’t need another black dress.
The gold T-bar shoes are too Strictly and the leopard print pumps remind me of a pair of Topshop shoes where I felt every lump on the sidewalk.
But if you don’t already have a trench coat or wide leg trousers, her range is for you.
She doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but that’s exactly why it works.
Here we compare vintage Kate looks with her Zara range.
SHEER maxi dresses are another Mossy trademark.
And just as impressive as the floral one she wore to the launch of her wellness brand Cosmoss in 2022 is this oriental design for Zara.
LEOPARD print coats are to Kate what a bob is to Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour – and she wore a favorite as she left a London restaurant in 2012.
Her Zara collection has something similar, shown here by a model, although you could choose from many other options for £699.
KATE dazzled in a stylish silk dress as she hit the town with designer pal John Galliano after a fashion gala at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum in 2007.
Her blouse, €59.99, and skirt, €69.99, for Zara create a similar atmosphere.
FROM the 1990s to the present, Kate has always loved her leather coats and jackets, including this vinyl trench coat from her 2008 Topshop line.
Hoping to create the same magic for Zara, she’s added a new twist to the wetlook coat.
Yours for £199.
FAMOUS for her festival chic, one of Kate’s most memorable outfits had to be the Lurex mini dress she wore as she waded through the mud at Glastonbury in 2005.
That same timeless look is now being offered to us mere mortals by Zara, but for the high price of £119.
SUITING up is one of Kate’s go-to styles, as seen here during a visit to London’s Christie’s auction house in 2013.
That’s why she made a similar blazer, €119, for Zara, here paired with refined trousers, €79.99, a bralette, €59.99, and shoes, €169.
KATE was whisked to a fashion awards party at the Royal Albert Hall in London last year in this striking winged dress.
It was a storm and she channeled it into her Zara project.
