Marques Almeida For Topshop

Marques Almeida has been winning plaudits from the fashion editors for some time now thanks to its nineties-meets-millennium aesthetic and its (much-imitated) signature shredded denim, and now it looks set to win a new army of fans with its long-awaited Topshop collaboration which launches next week.


"We were able to dig deep in our initial Nineties obsessions and have quite a lot of fun with it," design duo Marta Marques and Paulo Almedia told us. "It became sort of a younger teenage sister version of M'A."



Younger sibling aside, there is plenty to please the current Marques Almeida customer.  Comprising over 50 pieces, the collection has flared trousers; long leather jackets; colour-pop cottons; chunky sandals; bucket hats - so ubiquitous of the pair's desired decade; and, of course, plenty of ripped, frayed and love-worn denim.



"It was an incredible process," said the designers of working with the high-street store. "We felt very grateful to be able to work with everyone at Topshop and mostly Kate Phelan for being incredibly encouraging and inspiring and trusting us with this huge task. It meant we could learn so much from them and it will also mean that more people will hear about Marques Almeida and we will be able to reach places we couldn't have done any other way."



See the full collection for the first time here. The collection will be available from Topshop.com and Net-a-porter.com on Thursday October 9.

Kate Moss For Topshop Returns

Kate Moss will launch a new collection for Topshop in April. The supermodel - who designed for the high street store between May 2007 and November 2010 - is reportedly already working on the range, which will be sold in 40 countries worldwide and on Topshop.com.

The offering will comprise 40 pieces, spanning womenswear, accessories and footwear, and - as with previous Topshop collaborations - is expected to be inspired by Moss's personal wardrobe. The brand's creative director and Vogue contributing fashion editor, Kate Phelan, and stylist Katy England are also involved in the project.

Green and Moss reportedly came up with the idea while on holiday together this summer. It is still unknown whether or not the pairing will be long-lasting.

Moss's first collection for Topshop in May 2007 was met with much fanfare: the supermodel launched the range by posing in the windows of the Oxford Street store, while the clothes themselves became ubiquitous among the under-30s. Highlights included a floral tea dress, which sparked a series of high-street copiesm and denim cut-offs similar to shorts that Moss wore to Glastonbury.
