Kate Moss has partnered with Longchamp to design a capsule collection for their line. She was in Paris this week promoting the launch for special guests attending various events during Paris Couture Week.

Kate has been modeling for the line since 2006. When asked about her partnership with the 60-year-old brand, she stated, ‘I’ve been working with Longchamp for awhile – we just get on. It was a fabulous opportunity for me.’

The Longchamp foldable Pilage tote has been a staple for the line, selling more than 2.5 million each year since the early ’90s. Kate’s personal style is certain to add a new look to the line, starting with The Glastonbury (named after her favorite musical festival).

The line is due to launch on February 11.

‘The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion’ was the main theme of this year’s Costume Institute Gala at the Met. Fashion’s most glamorous night, celebrating 50 years of the supermodel was hosted by Kate Moss, teaming up with Justin Timberlake, Marc Jacobs and Anna Wintour.

The annual event spotlights the iconic models who have worked at the forefront of the industry since 1947 – widely acknowledged as the year the profession took flight because top agency Ford Models was founded then. Many of them on the arm of their favorite designer and naturally wearing that designer head to toe.

Speaking to WWD, Jacobs explained the concept: ‘The idea of muses or models, whether it is someone you know or someone you have seen in an image, someone of your imagination or a creature of your own invention, is important to every designer and every collection,’ he explained.

The new Purple mag hit NYC newstands late Friday night. We grabbed ours Saturday morning after a hellish massage experience. You know, one of those where your muscles become more tense every time you feel the masseuse prepping for her next lunge? Yup, one of those.

So upon leaving, with all the toxins running through our dizzy little head, we wobbled to the nearest int’l newstand for the new issue of our favorite mag. The intention was to indulge in a hot bubbly soak when returning to the condo and delving into the Terry Richardson section. However, our pathetic limbs couldn’t support the weight of this mammoth book. We simply cursed the little (yet surprisingly strong) Russian woman who put us in this state and soaked into a dreamstate.
