Kate Moss and her new clothing line, at UK store Topshop, recently come under attack by New York magazine. Maybe the chain was yearning for clothes that would only look good on people who are hungry and sullen? If so, then Topshop hit the jackpot, read the article.
We re lovers of things like food and hairbrushes, so the whole bratty heroin-chic fad she embodied back in the early 90s bored us more than it intrigued us. The mag called the model s infamous coke incident about as shocking [as] a dead battery. The attack continued: Since then, we ve grown impatient with the lack of remorse on Moss s part, as well as with her insistence on continuing to rub shoulders with her greasy, pasty, substance-bloated musician ex-/current/who-knows boyfriend Pete Doherty.
Add that to the unflattering accounts of her personal habits, and she makes for an annoyingly fatuous train wreck. For God s sake, Kate, you re a mother. Grow up.
Preferably before your daughter does.
I am glad that people are attacking Kate Moss in the media. Now I am a huge fan of supermodels, but Kate Moss makes them all look bad.
And looking bad in a literal sense and in the physical sense is bad business in the world of fashion.
The most eclectically put-together, iconoclastic and oft-copied figure in fashion is about to launch her insanely anticipated debut line — and it looks oddly familiar. Obscure pieces she s rescued from vintage shops and flea markets often trickle up to the runways, then back down to the streets; in this sense, she s regarded as not so much a model as a sartorial alchemist.
So now you can add the word, thief to her repertoire.
