Though her love life’s been heading downhill since the discovery of her crack-addled boyfriend’s extracurricular dalliances with younger models, Kate Moss’ career has been spiraling upward. Aside from bagging the latest Versace campaign, the supermodel’s PVC leggings/pants at a UK music festival made headlines — to the point that Moss’ major followers began castigating themselves when they couldn’t find a similar pair.

Moss’ Midas touch has made her the face of almost every big label — from high-end designer brands like Burberry to mass-market retailers like H&M — despite her much-talked-about tabloid scandal over her drug use. Like the Olsen twins, everything Moss wears tends to get printed in almost every supermarket counter glossy and then decoded over the water cooler at work the next day.

Now everyone can get their Kate Moss fix, thanks to her collection for Topshop. The trendy high street label tagged the waif as an icon to watch — deconstructing her major looks and putting together a collection based on Moss’ signature styles. Mannish silhouettes, micro minis and grunge-inspired babydoll frocks are just a few of the looks coming into play. Every month, Topshop will unveil new pieces from the Kate Moss collection every week, bringing in something new from her old closet.

The partnership between Moss and the high street label will run for two years--proving to everyone that this is a fashion match made in heaven.
