Proving that she can move tabloid covers AND hustle street fashion, Kate Moss kicks off another Top Shop collection, this time citing vintage as the inspiration. Really? The same tribal kaftans, shift dresses, breezy blouse and eyeliners?
I’m not going to call KM’s fashion musings shallow, trite or tired, because she is, after all, Kate-Moss- the-90s-icon. Nice pictures, but really, do these clothes look inspired? Kate’s HOT TIP snippets from interview with Times Online after the images.

Never look like you’ve tried too hard – or, rather, don’t try too hard! Mismatching can add a much more personal touch to an outfit.
Be brave and try a new hairstyle. It can completely transform your look just for one night and inspire a new way of looking at your existing wardrobe.
Don’t do the catwalk look head to toe. Mix old with new, designer with high street – the options are endless, and it’s good to make it your own vision. For example, I wore a beautiful Chanel maxidress to my friend’s wedding with a 1930s antique blue velvet cape and some huge, hooped Turkish earrings, which gave the dress a totally different feel.
When you buy a vintage or secondhand piece, don’t take it on face value – it can be altered in so many ways. I’ve lopped the hem off many a full-length gown and made necklines lower. It does help to have a genius dressmaker, otherwise just do it yourself.
If you’re going out for the evening, think about your outerwear, as well as the outfit underneath. Again, mismatching sort of accidentally works well and can look effortless. For example, don’t be afraid to wear a battered leather jacket with a full-length gown, or an extravagant embroidered evening jacket with old jeans and a T-shirt.
