All About Kate

Where would fashion's inspiration come from if it wasn't for the models! The supermodel phenomena is responsible for a good chunk of Vogue's evolution, designer's collections, and of course jaw dropping ad campaigns. One of those frequently seen models, Kate Moss, has particularly influenced fashion in her own way. Before Gisele lead the Brazilian model craze by storm and Karlie Kloss dominated Vogue editorials, Kate was everyone's fashion muse. While she's had her fair of controversies from her rockstar romances to her not so star worthy scandals, Kate has proven why she has and always will be fashion's greatest trend. After more than twenty years of modeling, Kate's smoldering high cheek bones are still gracing many billboards and magazines. Here's a look at some of Kate's various model moments:

Just Cavalli

Rag & Bone

Longchamp

A Trip to the Met!

To continue my new summer Met tradition, I recently checked out the Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations exhibit. While I admit, I was more familiar with Prada's work, it was definitely interesting to see the way the both designers' creations merged together. The designers' collections worked perfectly together with the beautiful outfit collaborations consisting of Schiaparelli tops and Prada bottoms. Even though they collided well, Prada and Schiaparelli were strikingly different from one another. Their quotes really shined light on how the two women from two different eras had contrasting beliefs on the art of fashion. It was incredible to see the women's designs reflect similar messages, despite having drastically opposing beliefs. Some of my favorite sections included "Classical Body", "Exotic Body", and "Surreal Body". And of course, who could forget about those shoes? Absolutely timeless!

In true Met fashion, pictures weren't allowed (and I was not going to risk damaging the collections with a few camera flashes) so here's only a little sneak peak over what the exhibit had to offer...

"I’d also hope that my clothes made their lives a little easier, that they made them feel happier. Not more beautiful necessarily, just more of a person. I try to make women feel more powerful without losing their femininity."
-Miuccia Prada
