Always wanted to dress like a celebrity but your bank balance always screamed no? Well here is your chance.
Supermarket Asda is preparing for a stampede as its version of a designer dress worn by Kate Moss goes on sale today.
The supermodel wore a futuristic Balmain design just a few months ago – and now George at Asda is carrying a similar range for a fraction of the price.
The silver mini-dress with exaggerated shoulder pads retails at ?16 – compared with the Balmain number which costs thousands.
The French fashion label is favoured by a host of celebrities including Victoria
Beckham, Beyonce, Gwyneth Paltrow and Rihanna, with price tags to match – some of the outfits cost up to ?8,000.
The supermarket is hoping the limited edition dress will be this year’s best-seller, and said it is expecting ‘cat fights in the aisles’.
Fiona Lambert, George brand director, said: ‘At a time of recession when people are finding it hard, we are seeing that people are looking back to the 80s when fashion was fun, loud and over the top.
‘The exaggerated boulder shoulder is the statement of the season. It’s all about super power dressing and OTT glamour.’
Moss, who has a range of clothing at rival clothes firm Topshop, was accused of looking like she was attending a Star Trek convention in April when she stepped out in the Balmain Autumn/Winter 2009 dress, which appeared to split at the seams as she headed home.
The George at Asda dress, made of 67% viscose, 29% metal-effect fibre and 4% elastane, is made in England.
