Kate Moss for Topshop - Early Online Sales
Kate Moss for Topshop will be available on the topshop.com website at 4.30am on May 1. In addition, 12 London stores will open their doors at 7am (though I highly doubt that will do anything to appease the rush... it will just happen earlier!)

April 77 Fall/Winter Martini Time Collection
A while back we wrote a Daily Desire regarding a pair of Skinny Jeans from April 77, and since then I have developed somewhat of an affinity for the label (even though it is fairly difficult to get in Australia - i.e. I haven't found anywhere that stocks it yet). Now, April 77 have released photos from their latest collection as modelled by their own team no less, how underground is that?

"Heroic women who fought for women's independence."Each of these women are represented through different styles, with period details given a modern edge there are the fitted Victorian-style jackets that reference Pankhurst's turn-of-the-century style, but lack the discomfort of the originals made with a French terry designed to look like a woven fabric. A top with silver metallic "sash" is reminiscent of a suffragette's banner while the "Toklas Tunic" with Twenties-esque drop waist and scarf tie.
For the second season in a row, VPL also collaborated with Jean Michel Cazabet to produce chic shoes and boots high patent leather wedge boots with side snaps and Mary Janes with VPL's signature elastic bands for straps.
