We at TRR have always known there's only one Kate in London, and Mossy really showed us who's boss at her wedding last weekend. Her curiously scraggy beauty and AAA list guests aside, we're somewhat confused and surprised by the subsequent ragging on Miss Moss (née, Mrs Hince) by the press over some of her guest choices for the big day.
According to the tabloids (to our shame - and yes, that includes you, Daily Fail) not only was her choice to keep her original dress designer of John Galliano positive blasphemy, loose-lipped hairdresser James Brown's attendance beyond the pale but even controversial rawk singer Bobby Gillesppe's attendance a step too far. What we say to all this is, like, way to bash a girl for being a loyal friend.
C'mon gutter-press, this is, after all, Kate Moss. Your bestest cash cow. The Kate Moss that made you stacks with her visage emblazoned across your front pages hoovering cocaine. Whose relationship with Pete Doherty was plastered all over the international press, in varying states of intoxication. She's hedonism's favourite poster girl, and has never asked to be anything else.
Now we've all very publicly watched her fall in love and settle down - at least by her standards. She's made good for herself and instead of denying and hiding, continues to be the semi-silent icon we know her to be, reminding us of this on the runway at Louis Vuitton last Paris fashion week. Go Mossy, we say. So if on her wedding day she wants to invite people who've made some verbal faux pas and less-than-desirable comments, it only confirms she is a staunchly loyal mate who doesn't kowtow to the bitching and sniping of the press.
Galliano designed her dresses for her 21st and 30th birthdays and it was for his show that she first walked down a runway. This surely deserves some fashion loyalty, non? If Kate's wedding gown is the last thing we remember of his nearing two decade career, then call us fools but we think its a good thing - as for Galliano, as for so many of us, Kate was and still is the ultimate muse.
