She's done a lot more crying that most people would imagine. During the July cover shoot for the Face magazine that launched her career — shot at Camber Sands by Corinne Day when Moss was 16 and called "The 3rd summer of love" — she locked herself in a lavatory and cried because she was asked to go topless.
But they were like, if you don't do it, then we're not going to book you again," she told Vanity Fair. Richard Benson, who went on to edit the Face in , had just started at the magazine when the Kate Moss cover was published.
To me, the point was that it looked like an ordinary British girl mucking about and having a laugh with her mates in a very British situation: a beach that wasn't quite as warm and sunny as you wished it would be. That shoot was seen by Fabien Baron, then creative director of advertising at Calvin Klein, and was one of the reasons why in he gave her an eight-year contract for the company. Moss now says that shooting those ads, particularly a set shot by Herb Ritts in which she posed with Mark Wahlberg, made her break down.
I felt really bad about straddling this buff guy. I didn't like it. I couldn't get out of bed for two weeks. I thought I was going to die. The revelations feel uncomfortable juxtaposed with Vanity Fair 's photo of a topless Moss on all fours, one leg in the air. I spoke to a lot of people in the fashion industry for this piece, none of whom wanted to be quoted. All of them portrayed Moss as funny, friendly, but extremely sharp and self-aware.
It's hard to imagine that she won't be aware of the impact her comments will have on the way that people view her, that she's more vulnerable than anyone would have previously thought.
It's also interesting that the woman who has never once criticised the fashion industry in the 25 years she's worked in it has only commented negatively on two photographers — Corinne Day and Herb Ritts — who are both dead. It might be a coincidence or it might be very clever. She is the face of not one, but many generations. She is the beauty from Croydon; the woman who has intrigued, delighted and shocked — and who continues to do all of those things.
She has inspired countless photographers and artists, who have taken her image and incorporated in their oeuvre, much like Andy Warhol used the faces of Marilyn Monro e and Jackie Kennedy in his time. Had Warhol been alive now, we undoubtably would have a silkscreen set of Kates. They have all brought testament to her beauty and versatility in front of the camera, her ability to wear anything or nothing at all and still appear classically iconic.
At 1m70, she is far from the heights of Gisele, Cindy or Claudia and she knows how to play to her strengths. Fashion chameleon Kate is one of the few who could carry off a look like this. Kate Moss is daring with her fashion. The killer detail? Though the gala was a great occasion for a glamorous comeback, just why haven't we been seeing Moss all the time?
The reason is pretty simple: She's busy. Not only is she running her own agency, but she's also the mother to daughter Lila Grace. In September , Moss sat down for a rare on-camera interview with Megyn Kelly on Megyn Kelly Today , and she talked about being a parent to a teenage daughter.
The model mama revealed that she and her daughter are "really close. That does sound fun. Although Moss had already been working as a face for the brand for three years, she was asked to take on the creative position in the fall of Now, this doesn't mean you won't see Moss' face anymore. A section of the site was also dedicated to "Kate's Favorites," in case fans wanted to steal some of the model's beauty secrets.
Unfortunately, the Fountain of Youth that Moss has to be using is not for sale — at least not yet. Kate Moss may be taking on more and more behind-the-scenes work these days, but we shouldn't take this as a sign that the model is going to retire anytime soon. So what if she's years past the typical retirement age of a model?
She's Kate freaking Moss. While visiting Megyn Kelly Today , the model put to rest any rumors of quitting or retiring when asked about her next big life plans. Moss stated, "Well, I'm gonna be working in the agency more, I think, and — but still modeling — I'm still working, so, and I enjoy it. And, if she decides to continue modeling, as she's been doing , mama Moss will give her support.
Even though you may not hear about her much these days, Kate Moss is, without a doubt, a woman who wears many hats — and she looks great in all of them, naturally. Getty Images.
