Style star: Kate Moss [Get the look]

FOR THE MAJORITY OF MY TEENAGE YEARS KATE MOSS WAS MY ULTIMATE STYLE ICON. I HAD A FASHION SCRAPBOOK WHICH WAS FILLED WITH IMAGES OF KATE LEAVING NIGHTCLUBS, STROLLING AROUND PRIMROSE HILL AND STOMPING THROUGH MUDDY FIELDS AT GLASTONBURY. TO ME SHE WAS THE COOLEST. PETE DOHERTY AND THE “COCAINE KATE” SCANDAL DIDN’T MATTER, BECAUSE I WAS ONLY INTERESTED IN WHAT SHE WAS WEARING. REMEMBER THE VINTAGE YELLOW DRESS? THE PANSY PRINT TOPSHOP TEA DRESS? THE SKINNY JEANS AND BLACK BALLET PUMPS? THEY WERE HER GREATEST HITS AND CONTINUE TO INSPIRE TODAY…

Over recent years Kate’s selling power has started to fade a little (possibly because every celebrity on the planet now dresses like her), but I had so much fun putting this post together. When it comes to cool, effortless street style there really isn’t anybody else out there like Kate Moss! And if you want a bit of Mossy magic in your wardrobe stick to her simple style formula: jeans should be skinny or high-waisted with a flared leg, accessories must always be minimal and classic, tailoring is worth the extra investment, and a pair of oversized sunglasses can pull any outfit together.
