Bad example of Vintage on a Celebrity

You kind of hope that celebrities seen in vintage will give a good impression and maybe win over a few more vintage fans, maybe even send in some customers. But then you see Kate Moss in the following story and photos. First, she gave vintage a kick in the balls by 'designing' clothing for Topshop, which apparently were just copies of vintage dresses that she owned herself. Now she went out in a real 1930s silk wedding dress, that is a ripped up mess by the end of the evening. OK, so it's Kate Moss, she's probably a ripped us mess at the end of the night herself anyway. Maybe I'm overreacting, I shouldn't worry about the dress ending up tattered after being on her, but it's a shame to see a beautiful dress ruined. Plus, how many people are going to see those photos and think 'I guess you can't wear vintage clothing, it rips while you wear it' - I've been wearing vintage 20+ years and never had anything like this happen.
You have to be careful in a dress like that. And apparently you have to stay away from Courtney Love!

Oh man what a mess she is!

She's not making vintage look bad - She's just adding to her own declining infamy.

I read another story about this. They tried to claim it was a Dior gown. I wonder if that was her people or just the media. Obviously it's 30s, too early for a Dior. The gown was traced back to the original seller in another story too, who knew for sure it wasn't a Dior. Maybe whoever sold it to Kate claimed it was a Dior. Then she really is an idiot if she paid that much for a fake designer gown.
