Once I got into the office, I rang TopShop to investigate the Kate Moss Waiting List.

“There’s no such thing,” replied the TopShop manager. “If you want to buy the Kate Moss line, you’ll need to come to the store when it launches on March 1. It will be a regular business day here, as far as I know, and you could try checking for it online as well.”

Then, a pause.

“Oh wait, I’m sorry, I’ve given you the wrong information!”

Aha! There was a wait list, a secret website, something.

“The line doesn’t launch on March 1,” she said. “It’s actually on May 1.”

Well then.

Meanwhile, Preen’s new line just hit their website, and it’s great, but my new crush is this cute navy swing coat at right. It’s about $80 and as far away from Kate’s throwaway style as you can get, which a girl needs, sometimes.
