I enjoyed this book, it's well-written and has lots of good pictures, but I'm still trying to figure out if Kate Moss really has as much style as admirers say, or if she just looks great in everything and admirers want to think she is stylish. A lot has been said about how well she puts things together. But I think I found as many outfits in this book that I did not think were stylish as I did those that were stylish.
She looks most stylish in the classics, like a yellow chiffon Marilyn Monroe-style dress or a black sweater with a black satin pencil skirt and T-strap sandals. But we all look better in the classics. When she takes chances like wearing skin-tight jeans, booties, and lots of layers on top, sometimes she looks fabulous and sometimes she looks like she tried and failed. But we'd all look fabulous part of the time and less so the rest if we had her looks. And even more so with the designer clothes she has access to. Unless we had no fashion sense at all.
She has almost perfect genetics. A beautiful face with wide-spaced eyes (but not too wide), a bow mouth, great jawline, and a figure that curves in and slopes out at all the right places and in the right proportions. And somehow she keeps the weight off so her figure makes any piece of clothing drape well. She could tie a garbage bag around her waist and she'd still look good even if her outfit didn't. One thing she does well is not over-accessorizing. She's pretty understated in the jewelry department and it suits her well besides adding class. She'll wear a diamond tennis necklace here and there or dangle earrings; just enough to set off her outfit, but not too much. She's a minimalist and brought in the minimalist movement after the 80s. So a minimalist with a closet full of designer clothes probably comes off pretty stylish.
So, it's a fun book if you are interested in Kate Moss. 4 stars of fun. I'm just unconvinced as of yet about it's premise.
