Kate Moss is set to resume her design collaboration with Topshop, and work is already well under way.
The 39-year-old model mother is working with Topshop creative director Kate Phelan and stylist friend Katy England on a spring/summer 2014 collection, due to be released in April next year.
Moss first teamed up with the retailer - which is owned by her close friend Sir Philip Green - back in May 2007. After several sell-out collections, the partnership was put on ice in 2010.
"I am personally thrilled that Kate wanted to come back to Topshop to work with us again," commented Green. "The first time around was such a lot of fun, and she has been sorely missed".
It is thought Green and Moss discussed reigniting the partnership while they were holidaying together in August.
"Kate was talking about London as a style city, and how it was becoming ever more relevant on the international stage," said a source. "She's friends with Philip, so they said, 'Let's do it.'"
Moss attended the Topshop Unique show during London Fashion Week in September with her daughter, 11-year-old Lila.
"I have really missed being involved in the design process, and working with the team at Topshop" said Moss, who has partnered with Longchamp and Carphone Warehouse during the hiatus.
"Now more than ever, with London being at the forefront of fashion…it feels like I'm back home working with Topshop."
The collection will be formed of around 40 different items.
Green revealed that the line would be sold across 40 countries, with pop-ups in department stores across the world.
