Well it seems Kate Moss’s launch party at Topshop this week caused some attention – and not just for her new range of clothing. The gorgeous model turned up to London’s flagship store sporting new blond hair and fringe – that she chopped herself. The UK Telegraph’s Fashion Director, Hilary Alexander leaked the news on twitter last night when she quoted the actress as saying. “I got bored one night and cut it with the kitchen scissors”. Generally an activity that stops when you reach double digits, Moss shows she’s capable of much more than the catwalk and has actually done a good job on her bangs! Career change perhaps?

While creative fashion genius, Alexander McQueen may no longer be with us, his legendary style and statement designs live on through his namesake brand, and second line, McQ.
