Kate Moss to Design Cothes for Britain’s Topshop

This comes at a time when Kate Moss‘ reputation is getting a bit tarnished in the media, regarding her drug addicted mess of a boyfriend, Pete Doherty. Seriously… dump the loser, Kate!

Kate Moss will design a collection for Topshop, the British fashion chain announced on Wednesday, saying it aimed to turn clothes created by the supermodel into a global brand.

The deal, timed to coincide with London Fashion Week, is another upswing in the fortunes of the British model, who a year ago was dropped by advertisers after being caught on camera snorting what appeared to be cocaine.

It also gives the British chain, known for selling catwalk styles at discount prices, a fresh dose of glamour just as it plans to launch a flagship store in the United States next year.

“Kate has a unique position as a true fashion icon and I look forward to helping develop “Kate Moss for Topshop” into a global brand,” said Topshop’s owner, billionaire Philip Green, who is chairman of Britain’s Arcadia retail group.

The announcement confirms speculation sparked by Moss’s surprise front row appearance at Topshop’s fashion show at the start of this week, where she had paparazzi bulbs flashing as she sat giggling and gossiping with Green.

When the 32-year old, who is feted as a style icon by British fashion editors, was photographed earlier this month sporting a 2.99-pound bag sold by British retailer Superdrug it caused a sellout.

“I have always been a big fan of Topshop and regularly shop there. I love what they stand for and am very excited at the thought of working with them. It’s going to be great fun,” Moss said a statement. source
