Kate Moss Invites Marie Claire To Lunch For An Exclusive Viewing Of Her New Accessories Collection

Kate Moss Carphone Warehouse

published 19 July 2013

We joined Kate Moss at an intimate dinner at The Ivy to get the first look at her Kate Moss Accessories Collection for Carphone Warehouse

Kate Moss, Pixie Geldof, Sadie Frost, Nick Grimshaw and an intimate circle of 20 friends gathered at the Ivy today for the unveilling of the model's first accessories line for gadgets from smart phones to tablets - and, of course, Marie Claire were there to witness it.

We dined on a fresh crab and prawn starter, roast beef and fresh cream peach pavalova washed down with Bollinger champagne in the Ivy's private club and terrace, while the DJ played everything from Lou Reed to Van Morrison.

Moss, who turned up looking fabulous wearing a new season Prada dress and Louboutin heels for the lunch in Covent Garden, told Marie Claire she was enjoying the London sunshine but keen to escape the city for a holiday. She then revealed that she's about to jet off for her annual jaunt to Ibiza with a group of friends.

But first it was down to business for La Moss, who seemed genuinely proud of the new collection of silver studded black metallic cases for phones and tablets. The designs embody the model's unique rock'n'roll style with patent crocodile skin designs, and gold embellishments.

'This was a secret project I started working on because I just couldn’t find any cool stuff out there for my boyfriend when I was looking for a cover for his phone and ipad,' she told us. 'The collection really embodies my personal style and I've been really invovled in the design. Every piece is inspired by something I own.'

The colletion is available from 31 July from Carphone Warehouse nationwide.

Prices start at £14.99 for a smartphone case and go up to £49.99 for a large tablet cover.
