Launch - Kate Moss's Last Collection
Last night we saw the launch of Kate Moss's final collection for high-street giant, Topshop. It's been a 4 year commitment from our favourite London girl, but we are closing that chapter and starting to look forward to new possible futures.
For the launch, store windows were minimalist and classic, with pure white spotlights focused on promotional pictures of the collection and white mannequins fashioning the product. Think luxurious 70s film-star glamour!

In a custom-made, full-length black jumpsuit, Kate, along with Sir Philip Green and his daughter, was at the London store to open the event. Although a sombre outfit for a party, this classy 70s chic was the theme carried on throughout her collection - quite typically our Kate.

Below are a few of the new pieces, however alongside this was a smaller capsule collection called Kate Iconic which consists of 10 selected pieces from previous collections over the past 4 years, including the pansy-print day dress from her first collection and the unforgettable bold panther mini dress.

However, we're not saying goodbye to Kate just yet...
"Topshop can confirm that the inimitable fashion partnership between Kate Moss and Topshop will enter a new phase in 2011"
Instead of being tied down with seasonal contributions, she is going to become a free agent, being able to introduce looks as and when they take her fancy.
"Kate and the Topshop design team will focus on creating Limited Edition drop-in collections, replacing the current Seasonal Collections"
This matches Kate's spontaneous style, and how exciting to have a regular additions from our London girl!
Chloe Green, shown below, will also be joining forces with Kate. They are set to design collections together as Sir Philip hands over more responsibility to the young Topshop successor. Something to watch out for in the new year!

Corinne Day & Kate Moss
© theimagist
A revolutionary fashion genius, Corinne Day found herself a photographic visionary in the early Nineties. Embracing the dirty reality of London girls, she had an eye for the capturing her street plucked models when they least expect - slumped, laughing or simply messing around. This unvarnished approach to fashion was a controversial move on from the pristine glam of the 80's and her work was first met with outrage. Nevertheless, Day went on to become a regular contributor to Vogue with her images becoming modern classics.
Aged 48, Day died in late August of this year having battled with a brain tumour.
"Corinne was a photographer of huge talent and integrity. Her work for British Vogue was entirely original and will always be remembers. She could capture raw beauty like few others." - Alexandra Shulman, Vogue Editor

One of her most renowned works was her depiction of Kate Moss in the '3rd Summer of Love' editorial for the FACE magazine in 1990, shown above. It was this shoot that really kick started Kate Moss's career - she was 16 at the time.
Instead of launching into a whole history of her achievements, we'll look at her latest ventures which are of course linked to our high-street favourite, Topshop.

Kate Moss's first capsule collection for the brand was launched back in May 2007 and has since been a regular addition. However, to bring a little more life into the collaboration, Sir Philip Green has given to go-ahead for his daughter, 19 year old Chloe Green, to join forces with Miss Moss to design together. Something to look forward for?
"She's really into vintage and I love clothes that are a little bit more modern, so I think it will be an interesting mix to work together." - Chloe Green

To mark this new chapter, Kate has hand-picked her Top Ten all-time favourites from her past 14 collections that we go on sale under a new label, 'Iconic Kate'. These include the pansy-print day dress from her first collection and the bold panther mini dress (shown above).

McQueen Memorial
It was one of those moments in time you will always remember. Of when and how you heard the news. The death of Alexander McQueen.
On Monday 20th September, while I was busying about Somerset House, some took a brake from London Fashion Week to remember this fashion visionary. Located at St Paul's Cathedral, 1200 adorned in black took their seats to pay their respects to the late Alexander McQueen who took this own life in February of this year.

Not perhaps your ordinary pick for a memorial, but the late designer sure had his impact on those who attended.
Also sporting an Alexander McQueen ensemble was one of his dearest friends, Sarah Jessica Parker.
Whether or not you are a fond follower of the fashion world like myself, his creations couldn't have gone amiss. Each encapsulated a uniqueness and edge that many designers seem too narrow-minded and conscious to attempt with any amount of matched vigour and passion. McQueen was able to translate his visions through his garments, that when showed on the runway, became much more than your ordinary parade. He would put on a show in which he would create a world that expressed the nature of the collection, down to the very characters that modelled them. Without doubt, an Alexander McQueen show was the one to watch with each being so unique, controversial and unpredictable.

"He taught us that the runway was a place where dreams become reality" - Anna Wintour
"He was an artist who just happened to be working with clothing" - Suzy Menkes, fashion editor of the International Herald TribuneIn honour of McQueen's Scottish heritage and love for tartan plaid, bagpipers led the mourners back onto the steps of the cathedral once the service had ended. A truly royal and touching farewell for such a great name.
