Kate’s Christmas collection unveiled - Oct 17 2007
Kate Moss has unveiled her latest collection for Topshop designed for the festive season.
The Christmas collection is the supermodel’s fourth range for the high street chain and features floor-length gowns and suits alongside shimmering mini-dresses.
Kate launched the range at a dinner and fashion show which she co-hosted with Topshop owner Sir Philip Green.
The collection goes on sale on October 25.
Photographs released to coincide with the launch show Kate sporting shorter hair and a new fringe.
The latest range appears to include more grown-up designs, with models shown wearing loosely draped items, light scarves and a Fedora hat.
Kate revealed her first clothing line for the chain back in May, with more items added in June and this month.
The Croydon-born supermodel was reportedly paid £3 million to create the fashion range.
More than 1,000 shoppers mobbed Topshop’s flagship store in Oxford Street, central London, for the original launch of the collection on the night of April 30.
Kate Moss reveals new fringed look - Oct 15 2007
Supermodel Kate Moss has unveiled a stunning new look.
The 33-year-old beauty went for the chop with a new fringed haircut.
It is the work of stylist and long-time friend James Brown.
The pair spent the afternoon creating the look before emerging arm-in-arm from her pal Davinia Taylor’s North London home.
Brown said the soft blonde style is reminiscent of a young Michelle Pfeiffer. He and Moss have collaborated on a new hair care range, James Brown London, launched in Boots earlier this week.
Brown said tonight: "We got together after seeing our new hair care range hit the shops and just decided to do it.
"I love Kate’s hair a shorter length and the fringe really looks amazing.
"Kate hasn’t had a fringe for a long time but it makes her look really fresh and sexy.
"There’s almost an element of a young Michelle Pfeiffer from the 80’s."
As with all of Moss’s looks, this one is sure to spark a thousand imitations.
Kate to design clothes for fundraiser - Sept 11 2007
Kate Moss is set to design some clothes for forthcoming charity event, Fashion For Relief.
In an interview after the launch, model Naomi Campbell, who launched the event, said: "I kidnapped Kate. She’s going to be a designer. I don’t know what it will be that she designs. She doesn’t really like to do the shows ... it will be Kate Moss the designer ...".
Kate will join a band of other models who are taking part in the bid to raise money for the victims of the UK floods - including Yasmin Le Bon, Jodie Kidd and Leah Wood.
Asked about Claudia Schiffer’s comment that the age of the supermodel was over, Naomi added: "It’s a different breed ... I love the way the models are but the whole show is a different breed.
"You’re not all together, you’re on your own. It’s one, one, one.
"I don’t really know anybody any more. It’s a lot more corporate. It has to be. It’s the economy, the business, that’s just the way it’s going."
She added: "Claudia meant that there will never be the same group of girls, myself, all of us there, Linda (Evangelista), Claudia (Schiffer), Christie (Turlington) ... maybe you have one ... but not all together.
"I totally agree with what she said, 100 per cent."
Fashion For Relief will take place at the Natural History Museum on September 20 and is being organised with the Rotary Club of Great Britain.
All money raised will go to the Rotary Flood Disaster Appeal.

After a series of shoots for teenage magazines, it was Harper’s Bazaar that finally launched her into the international arena. In 1992, she became the Face of Calvin Klein. Moss originally spearheaded the controversial "waif" look which critics claimed encouraged anorexia in impressionable teenagers. The girl from Croydon, who once said she "might’ve been a bank manager" now divides her time between London and LA, where she is often seen at The Viper Rooms, the controversial club owned by her one-time actor boyfriend Johnny Depp.
She has appeared in several notable documentaries about the fashion world and in 1995, released a hard-back book of pictures entitled simply "Kate". Having checked into London’s £300-a-day Priory Clinic in November 1998 suffering from exhaustion, Kate emerged refreshed the following January to announce that she had spent the last decade modelling "drunk". She told The Face magazine, "That’s what you do. You always have champagne before the shows. Always. Even at ten in the morning. It got to the point one time when we were [saying], ’We’re not going out without any champagne’."
Losing the Calvin Klein contract to fellow Brit Lisa Ratliffe in 1999, Kate has now taken on the status of fashion icon. In the May 2000 issue of Vogue, she played muse to a variety of the most cutting edge artists and photographers. In London she is still represented by Storm. Written in 2000
