Kate Moss has signed a multi-million pound deal to design a new clothing range for top British fashion chain Topshop.The supermodel is teaming up with the high street giant to produce her own line, in a deal worth a reputed £3 million.Topshop owner Philip Green, who is the head of the company's parent group Arcadia, said: "Kate has a unique position as a true fashion icon and I look forward to helping develop 'Kate Moss for Topshop' into a global brand." Topshop bosses are confident the collection - which will be available in the chain's 308 stores from next spring - will help establish the clothing chain in America. The company is opening its first stores in the US next year.Kate - whose career has gone from strength to strength since her cocaine expose last year - admits she is very "excited" to be working with one of her favourite brands.The catwalk queen, who is dating drug addicted rocker Pete Doherty, said in a statement: "I have always been a big fan of Topshop and regularly shop there. I love what they stand for and am very excited at the thought of working with them. It's going to be great fun."Since photos of Kate snorting cocaine were published last year she has landed lucrative contracts for several top brands, including Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Calvin Klein and Christian Dior.
