Kate Moss’s ninth collection for Topshop — and second to be sold in the US — hit stores earlier this week. But after so many seasons, how does Kate keep the collection fresh? “I get inspiration from the places I travel, my great vintage finds. I become more inspired by every collection,” the jet-setter tells USA Today. From her current line, Kate reveals that the “Batik Maxi Dress” ($125, at topshop.com) is her favorite item. “I love the cut of this dress and the fact it goes from day to night so easily with the right accessories,” she says. As one of the world’s most celebrated fashion icons it’s not surprising that the effortless style found in Kate’s Topshop collection is a reflection of her own everyday dressing. “My looks just happen. I put things together from my wardrobe and see what works and feels right,” she says.

Hot off the heels of the successful New York Topshop opening, rumors began to swirl that Kate Moss was about to begin penning a cookbook. The Daily Mirror reported that the British supermodel had been inspired by her friend Stasha Palos — the step-daughter to Topshop owner Sir Philip Green — who recently published a cookbook of traditional Jewish meals made simple. However, a rep for Kate tells PEOPLE.com “There is no cookbook. We do not know where it came from but it is definitely false.” Looks the only thing Kate will be cooking up is more sold-out designs for Topshop.

SoHo looked more like Hollywood last night as stars turned out for the much anticipated launch party for the famed British cheap-and-chic retailer Topshop in N.Y.C. And while the lead-up to the opening may have been plagued by delays, the wait was worth it as everyone from Topshop’s star designer Kate Moss to Jennifer Hudson, Jennifer Lopez and tastemakers Anna Wintour and Marc Jacobs headed to Balthazar for an exclusive dinner — that just happened to be one of the fashion events of the season. During a surprise performance by Hudson, who’s long been obsessed with the British retailer, the sequined star shouted out, “I’ve got my little Topshop outfit on. Is this all right?” Lovebirds Lopez and Mark Anthony watched as Hudson performed “One Night Only” from their seats at Moss’s table, which they also shared with designer Jason Wu. And while Lopez might be able to afford the priciest of designer garb, she told PEOPLE.com that she’s a fan of Topshop for its low-priced chic. “I love that you can get a lot of stuff there, really inexpensive,” she said, “that it fits really great, and they really concentrate on making cool, really cutting-edge clothes.” Check out all the goods at Topshop.com — free shipping all week!
