View the Kate Moss for Topshop Spring 2014 lookbook »

After 4 years hiatus, Kate Moss has reprised her mega successful collaboration with Topshop for Spring 2014, bringing her babeular boho look back with 43 pieces launching at the end of this month. The latest collection features a Kate prescription for every mode: pyjama time, cocktail hour and “Baeraic dressing” a.k.a dressing for strictly beachside days. As well as her signature gypsy-like wisps, the collection features ever-popular motifs like Aztec prints, sequined stars and plenty of shimmer fringe. The collection also boasts a more luxe approach, using silk chiffon, butter soft suede and intricate lace.

“I love the whole process of designing, from hanging out with the girls in the design team, building the concept, getting excited about seeing the various stages of sampling, making tweaks and improvements and then seeing the final collection coming together,” says Moss via press release. We dig it too, girl.

See the Alexander McQueen ads starring Kate Moss »

In just her latest chameleon turn, model superstar Kate Moss is a futuristic urban warrior for Alexander McQueen’s Spring 2014 ad campaign images, which debuted online today. Part tribal goddess, part bondage queen, Moss looks totally fierce in a decidedly dystopian and unnatural setting shot on location in East London. Despite being a friend of the late designer, this is Moss’s first appearance in an Alexander McQueen ad, this time shot by long time McQueen collaborator Steven Klein.

In the ads, Moss’s Day-Glo cropped hair is gelled back for maximum impact, making her signature gaze all the more enchanting. Zipper-encrusted collars, pleated leather skirts and full feathered pieces show off the model’s svelte 40-year-old bod, while the gold arm cuffs highlight the vibrancy of her hair. Even the lookalike voodoo doll Moss shares the camera with is outfitted in replica miniature get ups.

See the British Fashion Awards 2013 red carpet »

Last night, Britain’s most fashionably influential took over the London Coliseum for the British Fashion Awards 2013. A red carpet of elite wearing elite can only be expected at such an affair, but Kate Moss and Gwyneth Paltrow’s looks got our style radar beeping.

The ageless Moss, who was honoured with the Special Recognition award for 25 years in the industry, wore a Spring 2014 Alexander McQueen leather dress with a fur coat. The perforated effect and pleats added texture to the look that was accessorized with a studded clutch, red pout and black Louboutin heels.

Making an appearance to present the International Designer of the Year honour to Miuccia Prada, it’s no surprise that Paltrow chose from the designer’s collection. The dress, a plum and soft pink bodice with a black pleated skirt, was paired with strappy sandals that added to her signature long legs. Side-parted pin straight hair and a rosy lip made for her low-key beauty look.

Is it too ambitious to want to own the word ‘walk’ and make it synonymous with your brand? Certainly not for shoe giant Stuart Weitzman, whose latest campaign aims to do just that. With Kate Moss as its star, Stuart Weitzman launched the Made For Walking campaign last night in Milan, to an audience of fashion influencers celebrating the brand’s new flagship store.

To kick off the worldwide campaign, we have an exclusive clip of a behind the scenes look at this exciting collaboration. However, the final footage is also a must-watch: Filmed in black and white, the Kate-centered video takes us to the back of a chauffeured luxe car where the petite model, in a shaggy coat, grows impatient with London traffic and finally decides to walk the rest of the way. Cue Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots Are Made for Walking” as the hard to miss icon effortlessly struts down a few central London streets turning every head and sparking boot envy from passersby as she goes.

When it comes to fashionable fixtures at London Fashion Week, Alexa, Lily and Del Rey rule the front row. And we don’t mean the long-legged, doe-eyed It girls du jour—we’re referring to the fabled Mulberry handbags perennially perched on their laps.

These days, it seems no British style icon, from Victoria to Kate to the Duchess of Cambridge, steps out of her Chelsea mansion without the latest Mulberry on her arm. But before the classic English label was the calling card of London luxury, it was the epitome of British country chic. Founded in 1971 in Somerset by accessories designer Roger Saul, Mulberry’s roots are based firmly in le style anglais—think tweedy coats, woollen knits and the Downton Abbey-era pastimes of hunting, shooting and fishing. Known for its quintessential Britishness and country practicality, Mulberry was the go-to luggage maker for the English upper classes in the ’80s, but by the late ’90s, its dowdy old-world rep was outshone by sexier brands like Gucci and Prada.

Together Again

Murenu’s first project with Kérastase is a texture-driven styling range that launches this summer. The campaign face is Kate Moss, whom Murenu met in the early ‘90s when he did her hair for the WWD cover that announced her Calvin Klein contract.

Sliding Doors

Murenu hails from Sardinia, Italy. (“I miss the bottarga,” he says of the Mediterranean caviar.) Before moving to Paris to become a hairstylist, he performed in a modern jazz troupe. “My parents said, ’We will only pay for your studies, not for you dancing,” recalls Murenu. “[Hairstyling] was backstage, but still a stage.”

Animal Beauty

Murenu has worked with countless models, some hairier than others. “My friend, costume designer Colleen Atwood, suggested that Tim Burton hire a consultant for the chimpanzee hair in Planet of the Apes. I had all these ape busts in my house. If someone had broken in, they would have been really scared.”

Fabric Pattern

The crimping iron may be making a comeback thanks in part to Murenu, who used one on Kate Moss for the ethereal flower girl spread in i-D Magazine’s spring 2013 issue, and to create textured chignons at Zac Posen Fall 2013. Murenu had to persuade the reluctant designer- who may have been picturing ‘80s mall rats. “It makes the hair like mohair,” says Murenu.

Luigi Murenu is behind the hair looks for high-wattage runway shows such as Gucci and Givenchy. He’s worked with photography greats like Richard Avedon, and Madonna sought him out for her Drowned World Tour. The new artistic director for Kérastase talks to Sarah Daniel about his dance career, furry models and the return of crimping.

Rumour has it that Adam Levine has decided to put a ring on it. It, being Victoria’s Secret model Bahati Prinsloo’s finger. Though we find it hard to believe that the singer, who doubles as a notorious modelizer, is wanting to settle down already, the musician’s publicist has confirmed that the engagement rumours are indeed true. Prinsloo and Levine first started dating shortly after the singer’s very public breakup with fellow Angel Anna Vyalitsyna (that has to call for some back stage tension). The tatted Maroon 5 front man and star of hit show The Voice refuses to embrace the womanizer label he’s been given, telling Details Magazine he just really loves women.
