Kate

By Kate Moss

Book Overview

'An important piece of fashion history.' - Vogue

Intimate and elegant photographs taken just before Kate Moss's rise to fame, in a stylish new edition

This gorgeously produced book features intimate portraits of a young and undiscovered Kate Moss, taken in the early 1990s by her then-boyfriend, Italian photographer Mario Sorrenti. Seen by Calvin Klein, the photographs gave life to the famous Obsession campaign, which launched Moss to international superstardom.

Sumptuously reproduced in tritone, Kate is a stunning photographic portfolio of one of contemporary culture's most iconic figures. It includes an introductory essay by Sorrenti, which puts the work in its uniquely personal context. This book, which celebrates the dawn of two legendary careers, and the start of the highly influential aesthetic of 1990s fashion photography, is a must-have for Kate Moss's fans, for fashion devotees, and for lovers of traditional portraiture and fashion photography.

kate moss

this book is a beautiful colletion of rare and mainly unseen pictures of this truly amazing creature known as kate moss.

sensational!

kate: the kate moss book is the best retrospective of kate moss's work up until 1995, when it was released. it's packed with images of kate from birth to the age of twenty-one. there are pictures shot at home, by the papparazi, and for magazines and clothing companies. the book includes many never-before-seen photos of kate, especially those taken by corrine day of the face magazine between 1989 (when kate was only fifteen) and 1992. there are nudes, glamour shots, and pictures of kate doing what she is best at, being herself. there are also photos of fellow supermodels christy turlington and naomi campbell. basically, this book is phenomenal and if you can buy it, i strongly recommend you do.

If you like Kate, then the book is for you.

This book is a great view of the behind the scene Kate Moss, as well as top photos from some of the most celebrated photographers on the planet. The diversity of images as only Kate can pull off. She does nudity or full blown fashion dress like no other. She isn't just another face, she is THE face. The photos in the book are of surprising quality for the cost of it. I recommend this book for all Kate fans, and all fans of great photography.

Kate Moss' book can only be described as brilliant!

I have been a huge fan of Kate for 3 years now. She really out did herself on her book. The pictures are great and really capture her beauty and personality."Kate" is definetely a great buy for any devout Kate Moss fan.

Wonderful, Beautiful, Exciting, Dreamy, Excellant

I think this is such a terrific book and the photography is so well done. If you like Kate, you will LOVE her book. It is full of beautiful pictures! It even has a letter from the woman herself. I recommend this book to anyone who respects this talented and gifted woman.
