Sheer glamour: Kate Moss proves less is more in sexy new shoot for her latest line
In striking new images for her popular Topshop line, Kate Moss smouldered in barely there chiffon and statement graphic prints.
Sporting bright red lipstick and an enviable golden glow, the supermodel lent glamour and sex appeal to the pieces from the 90-strong line which is famously inspired by her own wardrobe.
And the collection, which is the 35-year-old’s 10th for the High Street stalwart, is set to continue its reputation as a staple for fashionistas during the recession.
With credit crunch-friendly prices starting at ?18 for a vest, the line also features more lavish designs featuring ornate embellishment typical of the model’s bohemian style.
A highlight was a sheer Moroccan-inspired blouse, decorated with swirls of tiny beads, ?130. Worn with nothing underneath, Kate made the garment look effortless.
A graphic monochrome maxidress with simple halterneck tie (?65) is also set to be a sellout – easy enough for the beach, Kate proved it would work just as well for eveningwear styled with strappy snakeskin sandals and stacks of boho bangles.
But despite the high-octane images, the collection was inspired by the pieces that the notorious party girl would most like to take to a festival or on holiday, based on the idea that each is versatile enough to be dressed up or down.
A bright red jersey tunic with bronze eyelets (?35) also features, with a bold bronze necklace almost as much of a statement as the dress.
A swirl-printed strapless dress (?65) looks somehow graphic thanks to a pleated bodice. The print also features on buff-coloured bikinis (from ?30), that one should only attempt to pull off with a tan like Kate’s.
Leopard print is another key theme, working to great effect on a babydoll halter dress (?65). The animal trend continues with a zebra-print tank (?22), dressed up in the campaign shots with a sequinned cardigan (?80).
The embellishment continues on a cropped waistcoat (?75) – this time studs, giving it a dull pewter hue. Moss wears it with nothing but a pair of oversized earrings and bangles. We reckon a simple vest wouldn’t go amiss either.
A black fringed waistcoat (?60) is bang on trend, as are the gladiator sandals seen throughout. Several pairs feature in the collection including a fabric ankle-tie pair, studded tan-coloured leather, and luxurious fringed suede (all ?35).
Jewellery throughout is unashamedly oversized in burnished metals and and Aztec-inspired beads, and is all from the Freedom at Topshop main line.
The Kate Moss high summer collection will be in Topshop stores nationwide and online at topshop.com from tomorrow.
