super model Kate Moss The Anti-Algorithm is the perfect advertisement for the genre – she has a well-honed personal aesthetic, one that will never be swayed by a viral TikTok trend or tempted by some fleeting It item. The key to having a timeless personal style is to have a few signature pieces that are very ‘you’ and get better with age. Moss has been wearing the same hero items for decades — ballet pumps, velvet blazers, leopard print coats, vintage floral tea dresses and black stilettos are as much a part of her wardrobe now as they were in her Topshop days.

In 2005, Kate wore a velvet blazer with white jeans to an event in Brixton.
Despite her outfits being copied time and again, she doesn’t feel the need to experiment with new outfit formulas. And why should he do this? Over the past few months, Moss has worn outfits she’s come to rely on since ’90sOne of his trusty heroes is a velvet jacket, and power blazers (often available in velvet) have been key to Anthony Vaccarello’s approach at Saint Laurent. So it was fate that she wore a striking black smoking jacket (with a touch of sparkle on the lapel) to the front row of Saint Laurent most recently in Paris. Then, in daylight, she wore another black velvet blazer over a vintage-floral maxi dress with knee-high boots — an outfit that’s textbook Kate Moss. She may have left some of her partying behind in the 2000s and founded a wellness brand called Cosmos, but with her velvet tailoring and deep love of leopard print, she still has the air of a troubled English rockstar. Dressed in a manner that emerges only after dark.
