It’s hard to overstate the impact Kate Moss’ wardrobe has had on millennials like me. Just yesterday, for example, I was browsing Gimaguas’ new pop-up on Greek Street, minding my own business, when I drifted past a whisper of a dress that instantly recalled Mossy’s lurex micro-mini—the one she styled with a black leather belt studded with the word “Glastonbury” (iconic!) and muddy Hunter wellies. And just like that, I had to have it. Suddenly, that otherwise minimalist crochet dress felt like a slice of fashion history. And since I’m heading to Glastonbury this year, I saw no reason not to buy it—bank balance be damned!
Rockstar girlfriend, Britpop muse, boho babe—whatever the era, Kate Moss has always embodied the quintessential Glastonbury-goer. This is a woman who has trotted around Worthy Farm in heels—high heels—prompting my friends and me to ask, “Should we pack stilettos for a famously muddy festival that spans acres of rolling Somerset countryside?” Regina George may have inspired girls to cut peep-holes into their tank tops, but Kate Moss made pin-thin heels at a music festival feel not only possible, but aspirational.
