Kate Moss arrives at Topshop

A crowd of thousands gathered as Kate Moss appeared in the window's of Topshop's Oxford st store, yesterday. Kate was on hand to launch her new line of clothing for the company. She apparentely sauntered out, and posed with mannequins in the window, as the crowd stirred into a frenzy trying to get a peak at the wee lass.

If that dress is any indication as to the quality of the range, I'm a bit under-whelmed. That thing looks like it comes from Britney Spears' 'popping-down-to-the-gas-station-to-buy-some-ciggies-and-Red-Bull' summer range. All Kate needs is a straw hat and a butterfly tattoo on her exposed mid-rif and she'd fit right in at Casa del Spears.

Stella is a collaboration whore.

Not content with her already successful partnerships with Adidas, LeSportsac and Target Australia, Stella Mcartney is "teaming up with Paris-based premium denim label Notify Jeans to create a cobranded jeans collection for summer 2008. Both parties were mum on details. Maurice Ohayon, the brains behind Notify, also acts as creative director for the K Karl Lagerfeld denim line."

The term 'over-saturation' comes to mind. I reckon Stella might want to just chill for a while and focus on her own brand. Getting a Stella Mcartney piece is becoming about as easy finding a Von Dutch hat. And we all know what happened to Von Dutch...

'Yikes!' That can't be good for your brand.

Kate and Pete in Dazed and Confused

Is Pete alive in this one?

Kate looks gorgeous in this pic, but not sure about Pete, he looks like he has been on an ice bender for the last week!!

These pics are from the May issue of Dazed and Confused, shot at Kate's home in the Cotswalds! They were photographed and styled by Venetia Scott.

Lollipop lady

While perusing one of my favourite sites, Visual Dizziness, I found this unusual picture of model Elsa Sylvan (Next), backstage at Cacharel, Carrousel du Louvre in Paris, recently.

Is it just me or does it look like that's not her head? It's like she's wearing some sort of model mask. I feel like she might pull it away from her head to reveal the face of a middle aged gay man- so desperate to follow his dream of becoming a model- he's willing to attach an uncomfortable mask to his head for hours at a time. Either that or she's the new generation of model, genetically grown to have so little neck, she makes Nicole Riche's lollipop head look like a giant Gobstopper. Whatever's going on here, I don't like it. I'm no fan of girls who need a friend to hold their head each time they sneeze for fear they might snap their neck. Way to high maintenance!

Who's the dummy now

Kate Moss will join the mannequins in the window of Topshop as she launches her new range of clothes for the store. "Moss will pose as a dummy at the Oxford Street flagship store as her clothes go on sale on 1 May. She was paid £3 million for the range, which features her trademark hotpants and jeans" said the press release.

I'd normally say that there isn't a better dummy out there than Moss. But then she is making 3 million pounds for a clothing range she didn't even design. Nothing dumb about that.

Project Runway sewing disaster

No, no, apparently the real reason for the patch is because she has an eye infection. Heidi Klum turned up like this to the German version of 'Next Top Model' which was screened yesterday.

I'm not buying it though. I reckon the real reason for the patch, is that Seal sang to her with such emotion she started to cry tears of blood. Either that or she just came from an audition for Pirates of the Caribbean 4- Hunt for the German Chest.

But eye infection... who does she think she's fooling!?

Pose for Terry Richardson

Did you know that if you visit photographer Terry Richardson's website, there is a section where you can send nude photos of yourself to ol' Terry for your chance to be shot by the man himself? This is what it says-

"Hello , if you are male or female and interested in posing Topless or Nude for Terry Richardson please contact us by Email."

What an old sleeze. Probably how he finds his girlfriends.

If you're unfamiliar with ol' perv face, the vid below contains a collection of his more famous shots.

Borat has nothing on this guy

Sacha Baron Cohen, you are a fucking genius! These clips for his character Bruno (a pretenious Austrian fashion reporter) are so clever.

Screw Borat, it's all about Bruno.

Thanks COACD for the tip off.

Magazine Monday- Models of the future

The May cover of Vogue.
From left to right: Lily Donaldson(IMG), Hilary Rhoda(IMG), Doutzen Kroes(DNA), Sasha Pivovarova(IMG), Caroline Trentini(Marilyn), Raquel Zimmermann(DNA), Jessica Stam(IMG), Chanel Iman(Ford), Coco Rocha(Elite), Agyness Deyn(DNA).

Remmember the good ol' days when supermodels ruled the world? When Linda wouldn't get out of bed for less than $10,000, when Claudia was making magic with David Copperfield, when Naomi was stradelling Madonna in the sex book, when Elle still held the title of 'the body', when Cindy was pulling gerbils out of Richard Gere's arse, and when all you need to say was a first name to know who they were? Well those days are gone! Granted those old broads have aged much better than the rest of the population (a great feat considering their excessive lifestyles), and most of them are still kicking around- albeit in courtrooms and rehab- but there time has past. Now there is a new breed. Leaner meaner and considerably more Eastern European, these girls are apparently the ones to watch.

Perhaps I'm just being sentimental, but these girls just don't compare with the 90's supermodels. But hey, they have time to work on it. Lily Donaldson needs to get offer arse and throw something at her assistant. Sasha Pivovarova needs to drop her last name and release a calendar and/or workout video. And lastly Chanel Iman needs to call up Billy Baldwin ASAP and get Fair Game 2 off the ground! Am I asking too much?

"The names William, punk!"

Who's the chic at the back?
