Barneys Displays Moss For TopShop’s True Nature

Bess Levin, fashionista.com correspondent, reports that Kate Moss for TopShop was a success for the department store.  She was on site to witness/participate in the madness.

I arrived around quarter to ten, thinking I’d be one of the first few
people in line, but I’d underestimated Ms. Moss’s star power in America
(and several coordinates above Houston and Lafayette). While I waited
for the doors to open with 90 of my newest friends, I noticed the
window displays: Each had a model in an outfit from the line, wearing
Kate Moss masks. Cool or creepy?

Considering it’s limited stateside release, I’m not surprised that most
of the signature pieces went so quickly; however, the whole package is
gagging.  Kate Moss cutout masks?  Cool? No. Freakish, perhaps.  Barney’s is usually on point creatively as far as department store window displays go; more often than not succeed in representing the aesthetic behind the brands.  I suppose this one’s no different.  The masks are fitting; lifeless, mass produced facades devoid of creativity.  They "take the invention out of fashion," as heard on Sunday from Mr. Davies.

The comments on the post are great; other global attendees weigh in on how lines did (or didn’t) go down in their areas.
