Kate Moss is Worth Every Penny

Ever wonder why supermodels earn so much money? A quick look at the new Kate Moss collection for Topshop illustrates the point very plainly. The clothes are pretty average, verging on ugly at times. But notice how everything, from a plain tank top to a short, shiny, A-line black dress, looks so much better on Kate than the other model. On Kate it's fashion and worth paying for even if you've already got similar things hanging in your closet, even if in the back of your mind you know it will never, ever look as good on you as it does on Kate. And achieving that is not as easy as it looks.

On the other model the clothes are just clothes. And that is why, even with her troubled boyfriend, even after the cocaine scandal, Kate Moss is worth every penny of the reported $10 million companies from Burberry to Topshp pay her every year. The collection will be at Barneys from the 8th of May.
