VOGUE UK May 2016
Again Kate Moss being the cover girl in VOGUE
UK May 2016 issue, following June 2013, December 2013 and December 2014. This
is, perhaps, the 25th cover I have owned of Kate, and without doubts
the collection will be continued.
As a new Rolling Stones exhibition
“Exhibitionism” opens at Saatchi Gallery in London until 4 of September, Kate
Moss, without any questions, is the perfect icon to style a shoot using the
greatest rock performers’ incredible collection of stage costumes. For Moss, it
didn’t take a huge leap of the imagination to envisage the epitome of
rock-chick style working with vintage pieces. The original plan was for her to
style another model in those stage customes, but thankfully, it was very clear
that those nostalgic glitter-fest of jumpsuits, sequins and velvet, could
easily have come straight from Kate’s own walk-in wardrobe. Together with the
Rolling Stones insider Bella Freud’s memoir, (her husband, James Fox, is the
co-author of Keith Richards’ autobiography, Life.), we readers are able to know
those backstage gossips, and take a glimpse of that Kate Moss flies the
Britannia-flag cape designed by Chrissie Walsh and worn by Mick Jagger during
the band’s European Tour of June 1982, or Moss comes elegantly undone in a
laced and studded jumpsuit by Ossie Clark. Bella Freud points out that instead
of wearing baggy things over his incredibly narrow, tiny hips, Mick Jagger
‘wore the tightest clothes, so all you could really look at was his cock’
(Freud, 141).
Perfectly, that slim Jagger’s outfit suits
well on Great Britain model’s chic looks. At every page turn of Vogue May
issue, over 14 fashion campaign pages, under photographer Craig McDean’s
lenses, by using black and white, or a touch of Nashville flitter, Kate Moss
represents 70’s glam rock atmosphere, as Mick Jagger and Keith Richards spent the
summer recording Exile on Main St. at
Villa Nellcôte of Côte d’Azur. The setting of the photo shooting is full of the
half-full glasses, guitars, audio speakers and messy carpets. On page 136 shows
8 different poses and angles of Kate Moss wearing partners embellished hot pants
with Mick’s Leo star-sign emblazoned tee, in front of neo-classic style of
sofa, which proves that a supermodel doesn't need only evening gown to showcase
her glamour, but a unique elegance with a thousand faces. Sparks will fly, and Rolling
Stones gather no Moss.
