Zadig & Voltaire Hooks Up With Kate Moss for Handbag Line and More

Zadig & Voltaire knows the power of friends. The Paris-based brand revealed exclusively to WWD the launch of a handbag collection, Zadig & Voltaire x Kate Moss, bowing Sept. 26, a day after the label’s runway show at the Ritz in Paris. (The location was chosen because it was one of the supermodel’s haunts.) “The primary reason for partnering with Kate was to work with her creatively on developing a new line of handbags. And so this is what they’ve done,” said Christopher Tate, chief executive officer of Zadig & Voltaire, North America, and a board member at the company. “[Cecilia and Kate] were models around the same time and sort of grew up in the industry together, so it’s not a new relationship. This is the first time they’re working together at Zadig & Voltaire in the context of collaborating on products.” “She was a customer of Zadig & Voltaire — her daughter loves our T-shirts, and we had some friends in common, so we were linked.
