LONDON: In addition to the current Kate Moss for Topshop collection, Topshop has launched a range of simple yet luxurious essentials for Autumn Winter. Combining a mix of vests, tees and dresses this collection aims to satisfy all fashion basic needs.

The new collection continues to use the same fine jersey that has been seen in previous Kate Moss collections and continues to play on the greens, greys and beige colour tones. Key pieces for the collection include the charcoal grey long sleeved maxi dress and a long sleeve shift dress with pocket detailing available in both black and beige.

The inspiration for the updated Kate Moss collection ( http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?beginIndex=0&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&categoryId=210529&parent_category_rn=210521&langId=-1&top=Y) came from a conversation with Kate about her perfect jersey items. She enjoys wearing jersey vests and tees so she was asked to come up with her perfect shapes and colours that she felt were missing from her own wardrobe.

An extensive mix of styles is featured in the new collection, from comfy vests and tees, to the new shape of the Boyfriend tee. The Boyfriend Tee is a key piece for Autumn/Winter and Kate has made it her own within the collection by adding ruche shoulders. This tee is available in stone and washed black and has been styled so it looks great worn with everything.

Camel is a must have colour for Autumn/Winter and Kate has incorporated this into her collection through her Jersey tee and a long sleeve T-shirt dress. Her long sleeved dresses (http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?storeId=12556&categoryId=209717&top=Y&langId=-1&catalogId=33057) are also available in black which are an ideal garment to throw on day or night. The jersey maxi dress is detailed with a panelled pocket and a tie waste, and is a prominent piece within the collection. Suitable for year-round wear whether it's teamed with gladiators in summer or chunky boots in winter - this item is set to be a piece customers turn to time and time again.

While the Essential collection is a premium basic collection with an emphasis on simple shapes, Topshop continually tries to move shapes on and Kate is constantly offering her ideas on her ideal shape, helping to keep things up to date while reflecting her own personal style.
