A brand new image released for Decorté's new skincare line featuring Kate Moss. There has been a ton of more images with Kate, all photographed by Mario Testino (so I'm assuming this new shot is too). Kate does look magnificent in the shot below, very natural, effortless, soft and demure.
Some of these brands are really bold! Running campaigns with Testino wothout any shame. So is Kate Moss for posting the image on her Insta, I'm done with her. Photoshop looks wonky on her cheeks and mouth, and it's really nothing special.
Please, because everyone with internet access don't know that Kate Moss looks haggard AF?! PS, they also use body doubles in campaigns that she shoots sometimes. Here's your Friday afternoon tea
I'm in the same boat as you. I worship Kate but having her as the face of a skincare line is.... uh, an inspired choice...
Who does the casting for Decorte, Phuel??? I'll say this, that image is the best we've seen Kate look in years. And easily the best frpm Demarchelier too. He even threw M&M under the bus with this shot. But Decorte must be trolling us with this brazen move. They're basically giving all the accusers the proverbial middle finger, which is revolting. And Kate is in cahoots with them because she posted this with no qualms. I've always wondered why Kate is always so supportive of pariahed fashion set. But then she herself must know what it's like to be ousted.

^ The first image is for Fall 2018 and was shot by Demarchelier. HQs from the SS18 campaign *mariotestino, cosmedecorte
My guess would be that these images with Kate were shot well before the accusations came out about Testino and Demarchelier. They were shot in 2017, I'm pretty certain too. I notice they've removed Patrick Demarchelier's name from the IG post... but I definitely read the image was photographed by Demarchelier on Decorté's account. Guess we'll see another photographer brought on board months down the line...

^^ Testino at Tom Ford? Wow that is throwback lol They haven’t collaborated together in 14 years... I don’t think brands controlled by big conglomerate will hire them soon. They have a bunch of executives behind them and even if social media backlash has minor impact for their sales, they are afraid of that media they don’t really control... But brands like Decorté and even others foreign brands can totally work with them. I’m sure they have a business in the east and all. That campaign kinda look dated. It’s time to make beauty campaigns more playful.
Beauty campaigns are typically shot very far in advance. I'm guessing they ditched Testino but had already wrapped the new season when the allegations against Demarchelier surfaced... Too expensive to re-shoot? Not a good look regardless.
