Kate Moss stops her collection with Topshop and we look at her life so far
By Andrea Petrou on September 1st, 2010
We were disappointed when we heard that Kate Moss is set to end her partnership with Topshop after four years designing for the brand.
Earlier this week the model said she was ending her stint with the retail firm after 13 collections citing ‘other commitments’ as the reason for the split (we hope it’s not because of her jam making).
The collection, which began in 2007, will end after her 14th collection goes on sale in October and although the rumour mill has gone into overdrive claiming there have been spats between Ms Moss and her BFF Philip Green who is looking for another designer, both claim it’s a mutual decision.
Phil told The Times: ‘There have been no dramas and we don’t need a new muse.
‘There is only one Kate and we are not looking for a replacement.’
From starting out as a model in her teen years Kate has had a successful range of contracts from Burberry to Rimmel and despite her little hiccup where she was snapped taking drugs, the model has turned it around, dumping Pete Doherty and finding love with Jamie Hince. We have a look at a very small snapshot of her life so far.

Philip Green hired by the Government to help identify potential savings
By admin on August 13th, 2010
Their wives may wear his Topshop clothing line, but now it seems politicians also want a piece of Topshop mogul Philip Green.
The Arcadia boss has been hired by Prime Minister David Cameron to conduct an efficiency review into the government’s annual spending bill over the next three years.
He will work with the government free of charge to set out to cut inefficiencies and identify potential savings.
Green told the Guardian: “I believe that our shared experience in the procurement of many goods and services, across a broad geographical area of the UK will enable us to have important benchmarked information which will be extremely useful.
“I will give this efficiency review my very best effort knowing how hugely important it is to the recovery of the country. I want to help focus, motivate and energise to achieve these efficiency savings. It is these actions that will restart growth in the UK.”
Green will report his findings to the minister of the Cabinet Office Francis Maude and chief secretary to the treasury Danny Alexander in October.
We wonder if we’ll be spotting any of these politicians in Topshop or Burton suits in the future.

Get in line now – Topshop chooses New York location
By Andrea Thatcher on November 1st, 2007
Real estate sources are leaking that British budget fashion phenomenon Topshop will be opening its American flagship at 478 Broadway, located in the Soho district of New York City. This is the current site of popular skate shop Yellow Rat Bastard and a location which Topshop owner Philip Green rejected last year, but apparently he changed his mind. It’s probably a good move because I can’t think of a better neighborhood for Topshop than Soho. Of course we’re hoping they expand all over the city (and country!) but this is a great start.
