‘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.
