What about the quality for that price point? Take all the hype away and really look at the line itself. Kate is a style icon, not Madonna or who ever the mass celebrities. There are mixed reactions on her line for Topshop at the moment.
...true..and yet lets give time to the egg to hatch...before it can fully fly.....after all Madonna only had to stick her face on it .. so to speak......
Saw this article about the 'Kate Moss' typeface they used for the labels: http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/art/2007/05/crouwel_is_the_font_of_honour.html?dm_i=115260922
Isn't it the same as the one used in the SHOWstudio Blumenfeld project?
Thanks for the note !...Oh Dear..oh Dear...
Somehow I would had preferred to have used Kate Moss' handwriting...that would had been far more original.......a chance
Missed unfortunately for Kate.......althouh typefaces aren't so simple to design as it seems...but indeed the ' DNA ' of the letter ' S ' for example in the Blumenfeld project.....fits nicely with the 'DNA' of the ' S' in 'Moss '....well at least if we are to proof that they belong to the same family tree...:):):....but maybe the idea was to design the logo for Kate in the end...and maybe the journalist confused it with designing a typeface for Kate Moss....I am curious and rather confused in a way.....
Moss, is an icon, and it angers me that the press and members of the public target her. I agree she has now become a role model for young people, however, she began as a young model, and due to her quirky and edgy look which has now become all so familiar she has become a brand, her contribution to the high street giant store owned by Sir Philip Green I'm afraid categorises her as a brand, therefore meaning she cannot complain when people give her bad press or follow her.
I think Moss is amazing, there is not one image of her that I do not like, she is unqiue and totally photogenic but 'designing' or as I would prefer to think the mastermind behind a collection that young people buy in to on the high street makes her both a target and an icon for young people to aspire to, she has breeched her own confidence and can no longer complain. The collection mimicks her day to day wear, is a fantastic business idea, and seals Green and Moss as two very intelligent business minded people.
....I dare to imagine that the best is.... never to complaint about the press when in such a difficult position that leaves no space at all of your own !...do nothing.... just be polite...be discreet...be gracious...(PDG), drink plenty of camomile tea and make the best of it !....that's always the best and most efficient weapon....in the end we humans being humans we will just forget about it faster than fastening a zip !.....and everyone will live happily ever after....we always do !.......journalists are just doing what they are best good at.......' finding news '.....we cannot blame them, it's a hard job to find ' good news '........whatever that may mean....
The moment one becomes massively famous as Kate got hers at Calvin Klein, one's private life is history, although the perks are great-money, freebies, backstage passes, limo services, instant access to the best and connections, they all balanced each other out. The public never targeted her, the press targeted her and keeps photographing her daily. Part of the public relate to her. This will all pass, in a few years, Moss will have substantially more of her privacy back as the paparazzi will target the next hot celeb. As of the designing, it will be interesting to see the deal with P.G is only 3 years, and if they just build the brand using Kate's image and allure as the catch once Kate's popularity lowers since they all do as they get older how the Kate brand can evolve.
What do you think of this first KM collection? Now that the hype has died down.
