Welcome to Vintage to Vogue, which sees the Vogue team take on a different trend or occasion each month and show you how to shop it second-hand.
When Kate Moss launched her first collection with Topshop back in 2007, the queues outside the Oxford Street flagship snaked down the road and strict crowd control systems were put in place. Hundreds of skinny jean -clad teens waited for hours to get their hands on the most hotly-anticipated fashion collection of the year. The image of a red gowned Kate Moss draped in the store's window display became that of fashion legend.
We have to remember that this was a pre-iPhone and the social media era; online shopping was in its infancy and celebrity partnerships were considered, at best, a novel marketing ploy. Indeed, the idea that an elusive, designer-loving It-girl and ex- Vogue editor ( Vogue alumni Kate Phelan was Topshop's creative director at the time) would join forces on a high-street collection was enough to get the ivory-towered establishment clutching their pearls.
The model dipped into her personal archive to create many of the collaboration's most beloved pieces – for example that iconic feather-trimmed LBD she wore to Frank Sinatra's birthday party on the arm of Johnny Depp in 1995 and the vintage, lemon posset-yellow party dress she modelled at Jefferson Hack's birthday party in 2003. And of course, let us not forget the Glastonbury denim cut-offs that drove a generation of women to take a pair of scissors to their favourite jeans. But, if you need definitive proof of the collection's reach, see the May 2014 cover of Vogue , where the supermodel is shot wearing a fringed silver jacket from the edit.
Fast forward to the present day and fashion followers are falling for Kate's Toppers edit all over again. According to the resale app Depop , searches for Kate Moss for Topshop are up 45 per cent month-on-month, and on Vinted, there have been over 58,000 searches for the collection over the past 12 months. Meanwhile at London Fashion Week, this season's hottest breakout designer, Aaron Esh , made a direct reference to the collection when he created a pair of lamé skinnies cut to the same proportion as Moss's Joni jeans.
