Top shop has been counting down the days till Kate Moss' Christmas collection will hit the stores, and the day is getting close. TOPSHOP.COM, the web-shop onto which thousands of girls who want to look like 'stylish Kate' are going to log on tomorrow, probably cannot wait.
I have looked at the sneak peaks from the collection, and I have to say I am, not surprisingly though, disappointed.
Some pieces are undeniably cute, including a sixties-style mini dress 'a la Brigitte Bardot', but maybe not for Christmas.
Firstly, it might be a little too cold outside to be sporting a style that short, and risk turning your thighs into stalactites.
Secondly, Christmas tends to be about family dinners. And no matter how open-minded my own family is, I would not risk meeting my grand-parents in a snake spot print mini cocktail-dress, that reveals the colour of my knickers.
Top Shop experts will disagree with me however, the Christmas holidays should be about following our feelings and emotions to create a unique look.
If you want to follow Kate Moss' style advice (on the Top Shop website) be ready to be brave: "When going out for the evening, think about your arrival - the accidental pairing of a battered leather jacket and floor sweeping gown looks amazing and effortless"
Effortless surely. And a little unclassy too, perhaps.
But let tomorrow prove me wrong, when London fashionistas will overtake the store and secure a little piece of supermodel cloth. Well, with supermodel approval anyways.
London should better get ready for a grunge Christmas.
