Kate Moss has been a hippy, a dominatrix, a rock chic, a glamour puss and now- oh, a dominatrix again. Is anyone else just a wee bit tired of Mossy?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m an avid follower of Kate and her ever changing looks; she and she alone can start and end trends, but when you see her recycling the same thing, you start to look elsewhere for a bit of fashion inspiration.
Harsh? Yes perhaps, but trying to shock has been done- over and over again by Kate and now the harder she tries, the more I recoil.
For someone who practically symbolised what 90s and for the most part 00s fashion was all about, Kate seems to have fallen of the radar a bit- is this latest magazine shoot her way of proving she’s still ‘got it’?
The shoot in question by the way is for uber trendy i-D magazine, which features Kate rocking a PVC corset and skirt, complete with lace stockings and Vivienne Westwood platform shoes. The harsh scraped back hair and dark lipstick is a look she’s donned before and consequently isn’t that scandalous.
Kate does look gorgeous and yes, she knows how to work a camera but it’s all a bit samey. If she really wants to shake things up- why not change her hair? That gorgeous dark crop from 2001 is now a distant memory and that mid length dirty blonde style now seems to reign supreme.
Mossy has been around for a while, so admittedly she has stayed current by constantly changing her look but now I wonder if she’s run out of options.
Just last month she launched her 12th collection for Topshop and although she’s always received critical acclaim, they just aren’t the guaranteed sell-outs they once were.
Am I being unfair, or has is it time for a new style icon to champion? Let me know!
