Fashion icon Kate Moss took the cover of the Spring 2009 edition of New York Magazine, and with it, flaunted new styles for Top Shop.
The 35-year-old super model is in New York to promote the fashion line which she designs for UK label Topshop. The collection will hit New York stores this coming spring.
In reference to the success of Kate’s clothing line, New York Magazine notes, "The first Kate Moss for TopShop collection sold out on the spot. And why wouldn’t it? The clothes all looked as if they had been plucked from Moss’s own wardrobe: sweet, nostalgic riffs on Moss’s legendary flea-market finds."
In closing, I’d like to note that in spite of her tumultuous and scandalous private life, Kate Moss continues to be a force--and an icon--to be reckoned with in the fashion world.
