Earlier in the month I reported on the growing importance of
film in fashion promotion and advertising. This has been confirmed this season as
Prada have commissioned James Jean to illustrate this short film, Trembled Blossom, about their latest collection. This week the short film was screened in LA as celebrities such as
Nicole Richie, Nicky Hilton and
Brooke Shields turned out to watch it.
Banana Republic finally lands on UK shores tomorrow as a 3-floor store opens on Regent Street. The store first began in California in 1978 and has been an affordable location for chic fashion items ever since. The opening is expected to cause a stir tomorrow as hundreds of shoppers try to get their hands on a bargain or two.
There are mixed feelings about this collection which is the fifth that the super model has designed for
Topshop. The prices remain quite high (£60+ for a dress, £45+ for jeans) but there are some really nice pieces that channel Moss' own style. Highlights include vintage style dresses, funky denim and a few maxi dresses.
Kate Moss' fifth collection for
Topshop is launched next Tuesday 18th March. Her collection is said to take influence from her travels to Ibizia, India and Miami which sounds like an eclectic mix. A sneak preview of five of the pieces from the collection can be seen below.
