22:15 i-D love Kate Moss | |
To celebrate Kate’s 20th anniversary of working with i-D, we
kept with tradition and invited her to appear on not one, but four covers of
i-D’s Alphabetical Issue. Photographed by Daniele Duella and Iango Henzi – who
were thrilled to be working with the Croydon born supermodel for the first time
– and styled by Fashion Director Charlotte Stockdale. This is the thirteenth
time Kate has appeared on the cover of i-D. Far from being unlucky, it shows
yet another side to the world’s most famous model. "We wanted to explore a part
of Kate that is more unknown to the general public,” Daniele + Iango explain,
"her fragility, innocence and purity.” The accompanying story is an endless
roll call of looks that shows Kate is still a stylist’s dream. "Kate has a face
that ranges from intensely pretty pixie to stunning woman, depending on her
expression at the time,” continues Charlotte. "I think her strength is that she
is actually both these and more. Her personality is multi-faceted and in
depth.” Kate herself knows this. In an i-D interview in 1993, she stated,
"Fashion is more than just a picture with clothes in it… you have to put
emotion into it.” Kate took a decision early on to give few interviews,
deciding instead to let her pictures do the talking, and flicking through her
20 years of shooting for i-D they tell quite a story! There’s playful Kate
walking the streets of NY’s Meatpacking District with her arms around Naomi
Campbell [The US Issue, No. 131, August 1994], or with a hobby horse and a
bikini in August 1997 [The Obsession Issue, No. 167 - Terry Richardson, of
course], to sassy Kate – with a parka and a soldier’s hat on March 2001’s cover
[The Renaissance Issue, No. 207] – and sultry Kate in her most recent covers by
Alasdair McLellan [The Back to the Future Issue, No. 310] and Emma Summerton
[The !#*? Issue, No. 282, November 2007]. Ask fashion insiders how Kate – the girl from Croydon
discovered in an airport in 1988 by Storm Models’ founder Sarah Doukas – became
the icon she is now, as i-D did in 2010, and her refreshing normality comes up
time and time again. "She is almost perfect, but not quite and that makes you
love her even more, because it makes her human,” explains Mario Sorrenti. While
Stella McCartney praises the fact that "she is always herself,” and i-D Beauty
Director Pat McGrath loves that she has "remained an ordinary girl.” Indeed –
"I think we all still love Kate because whatever has been done in the
photographs, she never wears a mask,” stylist Alistair Mackie concludes. "She
doesn’t act or pretend. It’s her.” Part of Kate’s longevity also comes down to
her ability to express the many different sides of her personality. Asked how
many lives she’s had as i-D i-Con in 2007, Kate came back with the pithy reply:
"A few more than nine!” Now 38, Kate has been working for nearly 25 years yet
it’s almost as if it’s all just getting started. Kate Moss, i-D loves you and
we always will. Don’t go changing. Photography from top left: Kate by Corinne Day, 1993; Kate
