Kate Moss: The shoppers' verdict

So, we sent Melissa down to Topshop on Oxford Street to get the skinny (as it were) on the Kate Moss collection - and the verdict from The Great British Public seems to be pretty mixed.

Some, like this Mossionista here, said they loved the range - and got their hands on the prized items they were after. "I saw this dress in the press coverage in the run-up to the launch and am so pleased I got it," she told Melissa. "I've bought quite a few items - including a pair of classic Kate-style black flat boots."

Another lucky young lady was Meg, below, who bought the much-coveted floral print 'is it a top, is it a dress?'. But even Meg's verdict was mixed. "The collection is OK, but only OK. I pretty much had to fight for this top, though," she said.

Melissa backed that up - saying that the queue to get into the Kate Moss section was incredibly long. So customers were either put off by that; or generally disappointed when they did get to see the collection. "It was all quite same-y, the same colour palettes, lots of shorts and waistcoats," said one. "Topshop’s regular range is generally like her style anyway, so it's not really anything different," said another. Which we can see - but then, that's probably kind of the point: Kate's look is the Topshop look, and so fits the brand to a tee.

So will the Moss mania calm down? Will we see a flurry of women wearing floral print 'is it a top, is it a dress'-es up and down the streets of Britain? And how will the collection go down in the States, when it launches over there next Wednesday? As ever, watch this space, fashion fans!
