Kate Moss - Don't believe the hype

Please, can somebody tell me what all the fuss is about? Okay, she’s Kate Moss, fashion icon for the last decade, but it that really enough to justify why I should want to wear jeans embroidered with copies of her tattoos?

Obviously plenty of us do, as items from Kate’s ‘collection’ for TopShop are already selling on ebay for four times their original price. And with a reported fee of £3 million, with commission estimated to bring in more than £10 million by the end of the year, Kate’s certainly laughing all the way to the bank. So you would think she could have graced the hundreds of young girls who’d queued for hours outside TopShop yesterday, a little more than 12 seconds of her presence in the window, before swishing off to her VIP party and celeb friends, wouldn’t you?

There’s nothing particularly bohemian or individual about the clothes either. In fact, some of them are a little ‘bargain basement’ on closer inspection, if the truth be known. So when it comes down to it, what are buying into? Kate Moss, of course. But do we really want to buy into the name of someone who drunkenly hangs out of windows, is photographed drinking from a wine bottle on Oxford Street at 8am after an all-nighter, and hangs out with a scab-infested drug addict?

And to add insult to injury, unless you actually ARE Kate Moss, these clothes are simply going to look like they’re from any other high street chain. Sorry girls, but you were warned!
