Actress and super  renown fashionista, Kate Bosworth has teamed up with Topshop to design 'The Collection!' This comes as the second time Bosworth has worked with the high street giant after Topshop exclusively featured the stunning star singing Winter Wonderland in a production directed by her husband Michael Polish back in Christmas 2012. Re-live the unmissable moment here:



Kate herself is no stranger to the designing process for after she launched a 16 piece festival inspired collection for Topshop earlier this year. 

Her brand new collection for the brand comes in complete contrast to the festival collection, however, the many sleek and slick lines come in with minimal trend. With an astonishing 46 items included in 'The Collection', there is certainly something for everyone whatever your budget, as you could save and spend as little as £35, or splash out on a piece worth up to £500! 

Bosworth herself released a statement quoting: "The collection is tailored and classic. For autumn, we wanted to create luxurious pieces with a strong minimalist approach. Slim silhouettes are cloaked in a masculine shape, staying true to the masculine-feminine balance that exists in my personal aesthetic."

'The Collection' is available to buy in store and online right now, just in time for your Saturday shopping treat!

The woman herself also had this to add: "I am so flattered to join L'Oreal Paris. Getting the chance to say 'You're Worth It' to women around the world is a great honour. L'Oreal Paris is a brand that has always understood that beauty and personality go hand in hand. Beauty is something you invent for yourself. It's a powerful way of claiming who you really are."

World re-known Supermodel, Kate Moss has teamed up with fashions favourite, Topshop once again! Since 2007, the creator of the heroin chic and the high street store have been known to collaborate but it has been a while since the last official joining of the pair. 

Between May 2007 and November 2010 saw the Supermodel and Topshop create exclusive collections that were quite obviously some of the most anticipated high street collections ever to be released. It has been since her fourteenth and final collection that the perfect partners have since collaborated apart from 'Kate Iconic', featuring ten of the best selling and most popular pieces from all of her collections. 

Since the announcement, Moss told Topshop: "I have always been a big fan of Topshop and regularly shop there. I love what they stand for and am very excited at the thought of working with them. It's going to be great fun."
