Kate Me To The Moon


Annie Leibovitz Paris, 1999

David Sims London, 1996

Bruce Weber Golden Beach Florida, 1997

You may love her or you may loathe her, but Kate Moss has been feeding our fashion senses for over 20 years. Famous for her simple yet extravagant style (which only she has defined), Kate has graced the cover of our most beloved high- end magazines. Her talent and versatility is portrayed as a model and as a designer, for she has conquered both facets of her career. 
As a model however, she has worked amongst some of the most prominent artists and photographers, from Tracy Emin to Mario Testino, and her most recent collaboration has been with James Dazinger of Dazinger Projects in NY: 
"...on curating a portfolio of 11 images of her by 11 of her favorite photographers. The result, a limited edition of 30 portfolios designed by Ruth Ansel and priced from $75,000 each (the figure is expected to go up as the series sells out), is being exhibited for the first time at the Pulse art fair in Miami Dec. 2 to 5."
Within the collection of 30 portfolios, Kate has hand picked 11 of her all time favourite photographs; in an interview with the NY Times, she revealed that her ultimate favourite was a shot by the legendary Mario Sorrenti in 1993 for Calvin Klein's Obsession campaign.
