The only thing Kate Middleton and Kate Moss have in common is that they're both English and have the same initials (Middleton's name is really Catherine, but still). Otherwise, they're on opposite sides of the royal spectrum. While Moss might not actually hold a noble title, she's definitely the queen of fashion and, if her musician exes have anything to do with it, rock 'n' roll, too. That's why she's pulling all the stops for her $800,000 wedding to the Kills' Jamie Hince. Styleite has rounded up all the nuptial details, from the guests (John Galliano and Jagger) to the food and beverages (bbq and vodka). Read on for the highlights.

Supermodel turned mogul Kate Moss is notoriously press shy. But thanks to her ongoing design collaboration with Topshop and a newly launched perfume, Vintage (her fourth), Moss has plenty to push. She sat down with the Guardian recently to talk shop, as well as dish on her boyfriend (The Kills' Jamie Hince) borrowing her clothes. "'Feature sleeves!' she squeals. 'Floaty things! Sexy things! That kimono feeling!'," she says of her fourth collection for Topshop (which, sadly for many shoppers will be smaller and more expensive with "more £100 dresses and limited edition jackets"). The line will also include bedclothes for the first time, perhaps since Hince keeps stealing Moss' own. Of her Hong Kong custom-made pajamas, Moss says, "Jamie lived in that pajama top all summer."

Last week we featured an interview with MGMT's Andrew VanWyngarden about his August 14 appearance on the Sundance Channel's Live From Abbey Road. In keeping with our insatiable infatuation with the Beatles' famed studio and those who inhabit it, here's The Kills' guitarist (and Kate Moss paramour) Jamie Hince on what it was like performing in within those hallowed sound-proof walls, the origin of his and singer Alison Mosshart's off-kilter pseudonyms, and the trouble with overexposure.
