Another Model Resource

Last year, we mentioned that Kate Moss was working on her fashion line, and it seems that she made good on the claims when she unveiled her new line at a London boutique on Tuesday.

Kate Moss had a rough year last year with all of those drug use allegations flying around, not to mention her checking into rehab. Things certainly seem to be turning around for the waif-thin model with this new success, but it begs the question: how long will it last?

Many US papers and magazines ragged on the line, claiming that it’s unoriginal, however, teenage girls everywhere have already spoken by stalking the UK Topshop store and possibly gouging each others’ eyes out to get the last pair of their favorite skinny jeans before someone else.

I’m really loving the Antique Coin Jersey Waistcoat, but I can see why it may be construed as unoriginal. But, there’s another, possibly more serious, issue at hand.

Moss’ new clothing line contained a range of items such as vests, t-shirts, mini-dresses, and skinny jeans. Moss contributed vastly to the success of the first design of so called skinny jeans. The jeans are made of stretch denim; have abnormally “skinny legs” reportedly fitting so tightly they embody a “sprayed on look”. Critics so far have only taken aim at Moss’ designs lack of originality but it is just a matter of time before the question of “How many girls will starve themselves to fit into Kate Moss’ skinny jeans?” is posed.

Bringing Heroin Chic Style to the Masses: Kate Moss Unveils New Clothing Line

I sincerely hope that this heroin chic clothing line doesn’t have a negative impact on a more robust model’s self image. There are many flavors to women in modeling, while the ideal should be the healthy embodiment of slender curves (you know, how a women naturally looks) that can wear clothing well.
