Kate Moss Leaves Topshop

Monday, August 30th, 2010

According to reports Kate Moss is set to end her lucrative four-year relationship with Sir Philip Green’s fashion retailer, Topshop, with a final launch in October. The company confirmed that the supermodel’s autumn/winter collection, her 14th, would be her last.

However, she may design a number of one-off “capsule” ranges in the future, a spokesman for Arcadia, the owner of the high-street store, said. Sources say the split was amicable, after a relationship that culminated in Moss’s presence alongside Sir Philip at the opening of Topshop’s flagship US store in New York in April last year, reports the Telegraph.

Apparently the range has ended as Kate Moss was un able to spend the large amounts of time that were required on the fashion label,  as there were other areas that she still wanted to pursue.

Girls on Film

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

Fashion film has certainly taken off as a major trend in recent months. From the big-budget Chanel affairs to the quirkier shorts in the making from Alexander Wang and Proenza Schouler, it is no surprise that Brit favourites Savannah and Sienna Miller chose the medium to promote their newest collection for their brand Twenty8Twelve.

The sisterly team took a trip to Hilles, the Gloucestershire home of Isabella and Detmar Blow, to film their clothes in motion. The venue is said to have proved great inspiration for the late Alexander McQueen, who was a great friend of the infamously stylish Blow. In an interview with British Vogue, Sienna talked of the inspirational setting in relation to their fashion vision for Fall/Winter: “The rich tapestries, velvets and eclectic style of the house completely reflect the elements of our autumn/winter collection. I loved filming in every room.”

Sienna stars in the movie alongside Sara Blomqvist, under the direction of Angelo Penetta. Savannah said of the collaboration, “We feel it makes the story come alive and it was amazing to work with Angelo”. Take a look at the highly polished piece at Vogue online: http://tiny.cc/23eya
