Kate Moss visits Coty Factory to view her new fragrance

The top model, style icon and fashion designers Kate Moss has visited the Coty factory in Granollers, near Barcelona to see her new fragrance, Vintage Muse, coming off the production line.

Upon her arrival, Kate was greeted by the factory director, Patrick Bourque, who revealed that the factory is producing a staggering 60 bottles of Vintage Muse per minute, around the clock.

Kate was taken on a tour of the production line, where she met with the plant manager, Joan Castan. Ever friendly and approachable and clearly enjoying her visit, Kate chatted with production line workers before posing for photos with the factory team and signing the first Vintage Muse bottles off the production line.

Kate’s visit was completed with a meeting with Frank Völkl, the perfumer who created Vintage Muse. Both Kate and Frank were interviewed about the creation process for the new fragrance. During this, Kate explained that Vintage Muse was inspired by a Warhol-style black and white image that conveyed a strong, iconic feel, and that she designed the fragrance for strong, confident women. She also spoke of her love of the ‘sexy, night-time feel’ of musk, the key note around which Vintage Muse is built. And revealed that she is passionate about fragrance - she keeps a bottle in her handbag and wouldn’t leave the house without wearing it.

Extension of Japan Fashion Now

Due to the popularity of Japan Fashion Now – the first exhibition to explore contemporary Japanese fashion in all its radical creativity, from designer fashion to street style, including menswear – The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology (MFIT) will extend the exhibition through April 2, 2011, three months longer than originally planned.

"Japan continues to be on the cutting-edge – maybe even the bleeding edge – of fashion," says museum director and exhibition curator, Dr. Valerie Steele. "However, Japanese fashion today embraces not only the cerebral, avant-garde looks associated with the first wave of Japanese design in the 1980s but also a range of youth-oriented looks, such as Gothic Punk Lolita and Forest Girl styles. Some of the most interesting designers – including menswear designers – combine avant-garde and sub-cultural styles. Equally significant is the Japanese obsession (not too strong a word) with perfecting classic utilitarian garments, such as jeans and work wear."
