Kate Moss’ eleventh collection for Topshop is ready for purchase on August 31st. This season Moss focused on a glamorous version of the grunge rock look she is
so known for.
Kate Moss’ favorite piece in the Topshop collection is a black leather pencil skirt. "The shape is really lady, but the leather gives it a real grungy, cool, rock’n’roll feel, especially if you wear it with shredded tights and lived-in leather army boots," Moss says, and it does, as Moss paired the skirt with ripped-up opaque black tights in the collections’ press photos.
Like all of her previous collections for Topshop this one is shaping up to be a huge hit on the high street.
