Its hardly breaking news that Kate Moss has a great sense of style. Hell, its one of the reasons why she’s still at the top of her game. Despite the fact that her stylish ways failed to translate into her clothing line and although recently the queen has lost her crown to the trendy princess, Agyness Deyn, we still believe Kate’s got it.
