Kate Moss - a fashion inspiration
Plans revealed for Gap and Oprah's Costume Institute Met Ball
The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute has revealed it's plans for next year's annual exhibit 'American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity' This will focus on the way fashion contributed to the evolving identity of American women between 1890 and 1940. Cue a 75 piece vintage fashion exhibition featuring everything from 'The Heiress' to Suffragettes, flappers and screen sirens.
The new exhibit, as always, will also set the theme of next year's Met Ball in May 2010 (one of the highlights of New York's fashion and social calendars) which this year will be co-chaired by Gap's Patrick Robinson and Oprah Winfrey.
Last year for the Supermodels themed party Kate Moss and Marc Jacobs co-hosted (pictured.) Focusing on the American Woman brings the exhibit closer to home, as in recent years themes have spanned the world, visiting everything from Anglomania to French designer Poiret, Coco Chanel and out-of-this-world Superheroes.

Kate Moss is releasing a new perfume called Vintage
”I am fascinated by vintage pieces because they not only have a remarkable beauty but also an innate sense of history. I love the fact that each object has its own story to tell. And yet vintage items can be reinvented with a modern twist to make them very fresh and relevant today. That’s why vintage looks have inspired my personal style, my work as a fashion designer and, now, my fragrance.” ~ Kate Moss
Kate Moss will launch Vintage by Kate Moss, her fourth fragrance for women, in September. Vintage is a fruity floriental, and was developed by perfumer Olivier Polge. The fragrance notes include pink pepper, freesia, mandarin, heliotrope, jasmine, almond blossom, tonka bean, vanilla and musk. Vintage by Kate Moss will be available in 15 and 30 ml Eau de Toilette and in matching body product.

What do you guys think of this new TopShop look? I like the make-up with the red lips and penciled eyes on Kate Moss very much and also the metallic look on the first picture.
