1) Kate Moss for Top Shop :
launched, sold out, we want more!
The most anticipated, the most talked about, the most wanted.


The fashion Sphynx created a new fashion range for High Street chain Topshop . She was paid £3 million for the hotly anticipated range, which features her trademark hotpants and jeans. It's very representative of her renowned style, very instinctive, and I think it's really worth the money, but maybe not all this mayhem.

It was launched on May 1st. Kate herself served as a mannequin in the storefront window on London's Oxford Street Topshop store. Hundreds of Kate Moss fans queued on Monday for an early taste of the British supermodel's first foray into fashion design at the launch of her eagerly awaited new range.
Kate was wearing one of her new creations -- a long red dress costing 195 pounds ($390).
Extent of the phenomenon : Yahoo news : "Kate Moss clothing launch stirs fashion frenzy" "Moss-mania breaks out with model's new range "


These bored eye-candy fashionatas are just lovely :o)






During the next two weeks, the collection will launch in another 21 countries, including at upmarket U.S. store Barney's (on May 9). The 50 piece range stretching from 12 pounds ($24) for a tight-fitting vest to a leather jacket for 150 pounds.


My Picks :


Why is it genius? british dandy style, daringly paired with jeans hotpants to create a casual and deliciously bohemian look.


Why is fashion all about instincts? because pairing a british inspired top with sexy jeans hotpants could easily be a disaster, but Kate made it stunning.








It's was all sold out but it looks like they restocked some items on the


Topshop website.

Trend Alert : Stripes, Stripes, Stripes !




















Maybe it's Gwen's fault, maybe not, but it's a fact : stripes are all over celebs those days. It started last year, and it's going on. I especially like how Ashley Simpson sported it : wide grey and turquoise stripes (her sweater looks so comfy, probably cashmere...) with quilted bag and black cap. Like the wet hair, it makes her look sensual.





You can easily find a lovely striped shirt for a reasonable price, my pick would definetely be Juicy Couture, at least for colored striped. This top is available here for $88.

I especially like the buttons, they add sexiness. If you wear stripes, the keyword is "Accessorize", glam it up to avoid looking like you've escaped from jail : designer sunglasses, jewelry, bags, heels...

if you want something more sophisticated, I would opt for Sonia Rykiel. Stripes have been her signature fabric since her very beginning, and no one handles it better. Here are my fav SR dresses for the upcoming season, but you can browse the site for more striped beauties : http://www.soniarykiel.com/


I have a soft spot for the one with the bow : its size, it's location, the laid-back look ... Très Très Chic!
