I love Kate Moss and wanted every item in her Kate Moss for Topshop collab back in the 00s when I was a teenager. Such an amazing post. She's still my style inspo today.
Am I the only one who cannot really relate to Kate Moss? And I cannot necessarily define why. Is it her androgynous body shape - completely unattainable for me? Is it her smoking? I never smoked. I am in no way underestimating the role he played in the fashion world back in the nineties, but she was just not an influencer I would be able to relate to. How do personally relate to Kate Moss, Anika?
This is so interesting! When I do these Style Notes posts I hardly ever think about how I can relate to the women personally but rather about the aesthetics they represent and what I like about the way they dress - more in a neutral, analytical way if that makes sense. So for this post, I can’t relate to Kate Moss or her lifestyle in the era but I love looking more closely at her minimal approach to dressing and how it is connected to her attitude. It is more the overall mood for me and the concept of the looks. So you’re looking more for inspiration you can adapt to your lifestyle as it is?
Makes super much sense, Anika. For me it's both the style and styling inspiration but also the body shape. Some things just look better on certain bodies and because my body is very different for Kate Moss' I cannot trust that 'copying' one of her looks or even vibes will look good on me.

Oh my god, yees!
God this takes me back to the nineties. I had so many slip dresses because of her! Kate was cool then AND now.
Absolutely, such an icon! So glad the slip dresses are back. xx

I understand, she doesn’t have the average body and the majority of people don’t relate I guess.
