On 1 May 2007, a collection of clothes purported to be designed by Moss exclusively for the Topshop chainwere launched across the UK in the chain's 225 stores. These and all future "Kate Moss" designs are infact creations by in-house Arcadia designers all signed to confidentiality agreements.[citation needed] AKate Moss "countdown to launch" board filled a window of the company's flagship Oxford Street store andon 30 April, Moss launched the clothing line at Topshop in Oxford Street, where she briefly appeared in the shop window modelling a red dress from the clothing collection just before the shop was opened,causing a media frenzy. Topshop has reportedly paid Moss £3 million for her work which consists of choosing designs and then modelling them, as well as allowing her name to be used on the garments. The collection of fifty designs includes clothes, bags, shoes and belts where prices range from £12 for a vest top to £150 for a cropped leather jacket. Clothes in the collection include skinny jeans,
one-shoulder mini dresses and T-shirts]with the letter K woven in to the design. However, purchases were
limited to five items per shopper to prevent the clothes appearing on eBay, and customers were only
allowed to try on eight garments in the shop. Despite these efforts, the day after the launch saw
hundreds of items up for sale on eBay. Although bulk buying is restricted the collection is not a
limited edition and the range will remain in stores for an indefinite period.

The collection received mixed reviews from the fashion press. British fashion critics lauded the range,
however the New York Post hailed it "Duplikate", based on the strong similarities between Moss's own
wardrobe.The range was mildly criticised by fashion advisors Trinny Woodall and Susannah
Constantine, who argued that the clothing was modelled for only the slimmest of women, and that they were
not suitable for the average woman's figure. They stated, "No one has a figure like hers so her clothes
only really look good on her – not real women." The Topshop range was later released in the United
States at the New York chain store Barneys, where 26 designs from the range were on sale for higher
prices. Moss's underwear collection for Topshop went on sale on 22 October 2007.
