Not Flattering on Anyone: The Kate Moss for Topshop Collection

By Ccandysarah

I adore the whole designer-lines-at-discount-stores trend, and more specifically I love love LOVE Topshop, the stylish UK chain that’s finally coming to New York in the Fall (Yay!). But dear lord, Kate Moss, you’re making my life difficult.

A month or so ago, Topshop launched the latest collection from Moss, which, frankly, hasn’t been doing that well so far. Critics point out that Moss seems to be designing clothes for, well, herself; so unless you’re tall and ridiculously skinny and possibly a recovering coke addict, her clothes probably won’t look good on you. They will look good on her though! Super!

This new collection is no different (ridiculously long floor-length dress: if you’re shorter than 6’, it can double as a broom!), but with an added bonus: it’s all really ugly! Let’s take a quick look, shall we?

This scarf print dress looks just like something I sewed myself…in middle school.

What the…what IS this? I don’t know. This looks like the back of something, not the front. What do you wear under it? And it costs 150 pounds…that’s more than $300!!!

Ohhh, so THAT’S where grandma’s old blanket went!

I only really like one thing in the new collection, this “50’s Style Dress”.

Good Kate, I’m glad you figured out that some of us have a waist! And hips! However, I’m willing to bet that even the larger sizes are too small in the boob area (we know you don’t have boobs, love, but we do).

Overall, a disappointment. C’mon Topshop, you can do better than this!
