Kate Moss to Collaborate with Topshop AGAIN!!!

KATE MOSS IS BACK! I don't know about you, but when Kate Moss designed her first collection for Topshop back in 2007 I absolutely loved it! From the three-buttoned vests to coloured denim to long dazzling frocks and swallow chains you name it my sister and I had it all, and what's better it was affordable. Well guess what..She's back with a bang and a brand new collection.

With the collection launching in April 2014, we can expect around 40 pieces that will be sold in a staggering 40 countries ranging from ready-to-wear, jewellery and other accessories and shoes! It has been reported that Kate has already started designing the collection and is working closely with Topshop's creative director Kate Phelan. If this collection creates as much hype as her last we can expect long and winding queues of eager fashionistas outside the Oxford Circus flagship store come the day of the launch...the queue time was about 8 hours back in 2007!!

Now whilst the 39 year old's collection sold out shortly after launching (and I loved it) I am hoping she brings out a new and edgier style, one that is unexpected and lovable. What I love about ranges such as these is that you never know what to expect and can add one off pieces to your wardrobe that are like no other. The Versace collection for H&M is an example, I got a few pieces from that collection such as my biker jacket that are just so fabulous and will last me years!

The supermodel claimed 'I have really missed being involved in the design process, and working with the team at Topshop. I am very excited to create a new collection that bears my name. Now more than ever with London being at the forefront of fashion as it feels like I’m back home working with Topshop.' With her last and what thought to be final collection launching in 2010 I am excited to see what she brings to the table for 2014! Lets have a look back at some of her pieces from previous collections...

Urban Education: GEEK CHIC

TOPSHOP is continuing to stock logo branded garments stating; geek, nerd, dweeb and dork upon them. This urban look is continuing to grow and I have to admit I am guilty of purchasing one too many of these garments, as is my good friend Georgia. I rather like the concept of these looks and so I took it upon myself to mix up some of the branded garments straight off of the high-street with something new, something old and something borrowed.

Everyone has a geeky side whether they show it or not. We always see in the movies that it is seen as social-suicide to be the GEEK, and being dubbed the college nerd is most definitely seen as an insult these days. However, I disagree and as seen by Topshop it is now 'cool' to be a geek. Cara Delevigne is in favour of this 'urban education' look and gives it her edge. Topshop has dubbed this range as Urban Education, and has most definitely succeeded in making being the Geek seem trendy.

Here are some looks I put together, all high-street brands (completely and utterly affordable) mainly modelled by the beautiful Georgia Morley...although I do make an appearance. I have also put some looks together without the geek branding, however maintaining a similar style using niche brands such as Serge Denims (created by MIC star Oliver Proudlock) portraying the same high school style.
