Kate Moss for Longchamp.

For fashion's favourite villain, turning 36 isn't the only cause for celebration as the rebellious supermodel is set to collaborate with luxury label Longchamp to design a new line of handbags.

After two decades at the top of the industry, Moss is no stranger to the designer title. Previously appearing in four seasons of Longchamp ads, this time round Moss worked with artistic director Sophie Delafontaine to create the initial line which is certain to be overpriced and an instant success. This follows past collaborative triumphs including the sell out fragrance, Kate, and the in-demand pieces sparked by a collaboration with TopShop in 2007.

The Spring / Summer 2010 line (obviously) titled 'Kate Moss for Longchamp' will be released February 11. Yet this partnership will be no one-off, with Moss set to continue working with the Longchamp house over the coming seasons.
