Kate Moss Topshop Presents New Spring Summer 2010 Collection

London, UK (PRWEB) May 22, 2010

Kate Moss Topshop presents a new collection of vintage inspired signature pieces for Spring Summer 2010.?Featuring a handful of limited-edition items and an eclectic mix of eras, styles, fabrics and colour palettes, the core collection truly reflects Kate's bohemian take on dressing and covers every occasion for the season ahead.

Topshop and Kate Moss have targeted contemporary designs throughout the range with the new collection taking its inspiration from the 1970s; vintage floral print shirts complete with corseting panels to update a classic.

Dresses dominate the collection, varying from casual summer frocks to elegant daywear through to show-stopping evening gowns. The selection of dresses uses a mix of floral print, sleeved and sleeveless, chiffon tiered as well as 1920s-inspired maxi dresses. The subtle and feminine tones combined with the contemporary approach highlights the diversity in this collection; emphasised by the ditsy print washed cotton mini dress with a maxi length graduated back - the dress of the season. Denim makes a comeback too with a larger selection of shapes and washes. Grey super skinnies, hippy-ish low rise wide leg jeans and a fitted denim blazer are key pieces within the collection.

Topshop has also published a short Kate Moss Topshop (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIFbe_TG7PE ) film shot by British fashion photographer and industry favourite, Nick Knight, to accompany the 98 piece collection and allow online viewers to get a first look.

The film showcases the vintage inspired collection and features Kate Moss dancing along to the Strange Boys, backlit with an array of dreamy colours. The video was the first of its kind for Kate Moss in her long established relationship with Topshop. She commented; "The way Nick shot the film really brings across the airy and romantic feel of this collection".

Blow the Dust off of Winter and Celebrate Spring with a Garden-Fresh Heart-Healthy Easter Meal

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 10, 2011

Spring is arriving with her bounty. As we gather for family celebrations such as Easter, Dr. Michael Fenster, MD, F.A.C.C., FSCA&I, PEMBA, helps us give thanks with a fresh and easy meal harmonizing the tastes of the season.

There are few dishes as iconic of the spring season as grilled lamb. This delectable dish utilizes the engaging flavor of cherries to accentuate the natural sweetness of tender grilled lamb. Dr. Fenster has paired the meat with a light yet hearty and healthy couscous that contains other harbingers of spring; tender baby carrots, fresh garden peas, small pearl onions. The grains, vegetables and meat are tied together with a wisp of mint that floats softly through the meal like a springtime mist.

Balsamic Cherry Glazed Lamb ? makes 8 servings

Serving Size 3 oz; 200 Calories; 11g Total Fat; 7g Carbohydrate

?A serving consisting of 2 cuts from the rack provides a filling protein portion packed into just several ounces. The glaze adds a wonderful texture to the meat and a plethora of subtle flavors with every bite-not to mention wonderful health benefits from the fruit, rosemary and cinnamon. Several ounces of couscous with both garden and root veggies is a perfect complement, both nutritionally and with respect to flavors. And the best thing, it is incredibly easy to make!? Dr. Fenster states.

????1 rack of lamb, or 8 lamb loin chops (Saratoga chops also work well)
????1 Tbs butter
????1 shallot, chopped
????6 oz fresh, pitted or 4 oz dried cherries
????1/3 cup Cherry Kijafa (or other cherry liqueur)
????? cup balsamic vinegar
????1 tsp dry mustard
????1 cinnamon stick
????1 sprig of rosemary

If using dried cherries, let them sit in the liquid for an hour before preparation. Heat the butter in a medium saucepan and melt over medium heat. Add the shallot and soften, 2-3 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer for fifteen minutes, the liquid should reduce by ? to 1/3. Remove the rosemary and cinnamon. Using an immersion blender or in small batches in a blender or food processor puree the mixture. It will resemble a thin paste. Remove and coat the lamb. To allow the flavors to develop, you can coat the lamb, seal and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours prior to grilling. Grill the lamb until done, allow to rest, slice and serve.

Springtime Couscous ? makes 8 servings

Serving size 8 oz; 280 Calories; 1.5g Total fat; 53g Carbohydrate

????2 Tbs olive oil
????2 cups couscous, preferably Israeli type
????2 ? cups chicken stock
????1 cup fresh peas (frozen is OK)
????1 cup baby carrots cut into a small dice
????8oz pearl onions, peeled
????1 Tbs mint, finely chopped

In a medium saut? pan heat 1 Tbs olive oil. Add the couscous and lightly toast, stirring frequently about 3 minutes. While the couscous is toasting, bring the stock to a boil. Remove the couscous and place in a large bowl, add the stock and cover for 8-10 minutes. While the couscous is finishing, heat the remaining 1 Tbs of olive oil and add the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the carrots, cook for another minute and then add the peas and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove and add to the couscous mixture. Add chopped mint and mix well. Season as needed with salt and pepper.
