i was born to tame you kate.

what would i not give to be kate moss?

in short: nothing.
not because shes particularly pretty. ((she really isnt gorgeous))

because she gets nearly every big designer campaign. i mean shit. Hedi Slimane (well known for 2005-2007 Dior Homme) did a photo spread of her on his website. He's a men's clothing designer. She has/had every major campaign:Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, Versace, Roberto Cavalli, Chanel, Missoni, Longchamp, David Yurman, Dior, Yves Saint-Laurent, Burberry,Stella Mcartney, Rimmel, Bvlgari, Agent Provocateur, Virgin Mobile, Belstaff, Beymen, Dior, Nikon, Mia Shvili, and Calvin Klein.

She designed her own line for top shop which was originally only sold in britain can now be bought at Barney's. Kate is attributed to many trends (heroin-chic, skinny jeans, etc.) she dated Pete Doherty (hot) and Johnny Depp (hotter). She is 33 yet is still the 2nd top paid model after Giselle. Kate is god. She has an undeniably naturally thin body that rivals any anorexic's. unfair.



i am admittedly jealous/wish i was Kate Moss

handbag fetishism

My obsessions are art inspired bags. Loop NYC does a whole line of Andy Warhol Bags

intro

Welcome to the ultimate fashion blog.
Anything & Everything about fashion: Runway, designers, sales, clearance, trends, celeb fashion, tips, tricks and major finds.
I have four loves of my life:

fashion
art
food
literature.

Fashion>food means fashion is greater than food ((to me)). If I really want a new bag/dress/shoe/jeans/skirt/boot/anything I will live on 30 cent packets of ramen till I buy whatever it is I want.


much love <3
