We tested Kate Moss’ new sold-out Zara range – one party dress costs under £50 & another is not for faint-hearted
SUPERMODEL Kate Moss did it in style yesterday – selling out key pieces from her new Zara range online in just MINUTES.
A sequin and jewel top at £59.99, a metallic thread dress costing £49.99, a £699 leather jacket and a printed dress at £149 were among the party classics snapped up instantly in some sizes.
It was the same for an animal-print triangle bra, £22.99, and wide legged briefs, £17.99, an £89.99 silk scarf top in small and medium; animal-print leather shoes at £89.99; and leather heeled sandals and leather metallic shoes, both £169.
And a mini rhinestone bucket bag at £109 also sold out on the day. The brand says stock levels are being updated constantly.
Below, mum of four Hayley Keys, 38, a restaurant manager from Rayleigh, Essex, and her daughter Alysha-Rose, 15, give their verdict on some of Kate’s classics.
Spanish chain Zara collaborated with the catwalk queen on the 46-piece collection in the hope her famous Noughties look will appeal to Gen Z as it did to their mothers.
Kate, 50, mum of model Lila, had a Topshop collection which ran from 2007 to 2014.
She has called her timeless new Zara range “sexy and fun”, and “rock and roll, but in a soft and elegant way”.
Fashion stylist Lara Grayson said: “It is little wonder Kate Moss fans are going wild for this collection.
“The ruffled, floral, boho-inspired prints, the punk-influenced leather jacket, the T-bar heels and leopard print ballet flats, are all iconic Moss.
“That will appeal to middle-aged mums that remember her hanging off Johnny Depp’s arm and stumbling out of Soho nightclubs.
“Moss remains one of our biggest fashion icons and this is a chance for women to make themselves feel like a supermodel.”
Good for both
Multiposition printed dress, £149
Hayley: I love this dress, which is adjustable. It’s elegant and flattering, although the hook and eye fastening at the front is a bit loose. It would look great at a wedding or black-tie event and I think it suits us both equally – it’s timeless.
Alysha-Rose: I really like this dress, too. It is comfortable, but it also makes me feel sophisticated. It’s definitely the type of outfit I would wear to a party.
Good for mum
Silk scarf top, £89.99, and velvet trousers, £79.99
Hayley: I love it. It’s really comfortable and the trousers hide my mum tum. This is an iconic Kate look with the high-waisted flares and floral print. It would make a great outfit for summer.
Alysha-Rose: I probably wouldn’t wear the top as it looks a bit old-fashioned, but the trousers are great.
Good for both
Romantic shirt, £59.99, and long skirt, £69.99
Hayley: This is my absolute favourite. It’s so elegant, classy and beautiful. It’s also comfortable and flattering. I could imagine myself wearing it to a wedding, and it is very Kate Moss.
Alysha-Rose: The length works really well for me. It is super-stylish, too. I think Mum looks like a supermodel.
Good for daughter
Metallic thread dress, £49.99
Hayley: This one is a bit short for me. I’m too old for it and don’t have the legs I used to. I couldn’t dance in it all night or it would rise up. If I was as slim as Alysha-Rose, it would fall better. It fits her much better than it does me.
Alysha-Rose: I would go down a size on this. But I think it’s an amazing party dress – definitely one for my age group.
Good for daughter
Sparkly dress, £149
Hayley: I feel like I’m falling out of it and it’s very figure-hugging. I’d have worn it pre-kids – and my husband would have loved it back then – but it’s not an appropriate outfit for a woman like me.
Alysha-Rose: It’s nice and sparkly and I like the look. It’s a show-stopper, but not for the faint-hearted.
