Newest Fast-Fashion Break-up: Kate Moss and Topshop to split ways?!?!

By Amanda Jazvac

After designing for UK based retailer Topshop for the past 3 years, Kate Moss recently unveiled her newest, and now last, full clothing collection. Spending just six minutes at the launch, where people had lined up for hours to see her, Moss has left her fans wondering what has happened, and whether Topshop will be Kateless for good.

Despite rumours surfacing of relationship problems between Sir Phillip Green (Topshop owner) and Miss Kate, statements have been made that the split is amicable and serves both parties well. For a fast-fashion store, primary goals are to stay trendy, be consistent and keep consumers engaged. After 13 collections, maybe Topshop is planning on bringing on a new face of fashion or budding designer in lieu of repetitive pieces and declining sales.

Kate, on the other hand, is experiencing no shortage of work. She is currently enjoying opportunities with luxury brands such as David Yurman and Longchamp to name a couple. Not to mention her statement of wanting to “explore other ventures”. This leaves us begging the question of what the uber-trendy, self-styled model will bring us next. ….

For all of you die-hard Kate fans, I won’t leave you hanging. Sources say she will stay on as a part of the Topshop family, possibly producing two capsule collections a year, each comprised of about twelve pieces. They may be of a new nature however…vintage?? Cashmere??

I guess we will have to wait and see what our darling Kate will do next.
