Copykate: Kate Moss for Topshop
Features | Michele Obi | April 13, 2007Does the neckline on this dress of Kate Moss with Johnny Depp look familiar to you?
It did to me too….it bares a striking resemblance to a piece from her collection due to hit stores soon.
While perusing an amazing second hand book shop in Notting hill last Monday I came across a biography of Johnny Depp and being the fan that I am it would have been a sin not to flick through. Well lo and behold one of them pictured him with Kate, both looking effortlessly cool. (see above). Mouth open, I couldn’t believe that Topshop had blatantly copied the design of this dress. I understand the collection is intended to imitate Kate’s sense of style but surely Topshop are credible enough to not have to shamelessly copy the design of this neckline so obviously. Does anyone know who the designer of the original is and what year this picture was taken?

I have no idea, but it kind of makes sense..
By the way, I heard that a cd by the rock band lovedrug matches up perfectly to the movie edward scissor hands–but check this; you turn your ipod/cd player on shuffle. I think the cd is called everything starts where it ends.
wow! i didn’t notice it but they are so similar!
I love this blog, congratulations
My understanding of whole Kate Moss/Topshop collaboration was that Kate brought in pieces she loved/inspired her, etc, and then they collaborated from their. Taking that approach, this dress/neckline makes sense.
Are you kidding me? The neckline is exactly the same. I also heard that the idea of the range was that Mossy would use pieces from her own wardrobe to make the collection. I was however expecting a variation or two not a complete blatant rip off. This proves a logistical problem because if Topshop are just reproducing items from Kate’s wardrobe, considering she wears mostly designer and high street then they are just copying other designs. Go figure.
Exactly! Whats even more depressing is the fact that people are falling for this con! No one cares that Mr Green and Kate Moss are in this for a quick buck, in fact people are falling over themselves to throw their money away.
