From katemossfan.com ( this is a bit off-topic, so I don't mind anybody deleting it, I was just very happy that a professional in fashion has said this )
Take a look at this interesting excerpt from an interview with photographer Juergen Teller, posted in the forums by Laura:
For someone who made his career out of snapping sexy birds in clothes, this is a rather daring sentiment. But then Teller's entire approach is daring. He even questions the validity of his most famous muse. "I am astonished about the Kate Moss story, and not just the recent drugs affair. I'm astonished about the Kate Moss story, full stop. I don't quite understand it. I have known her personally very well, for about 16 years, since she was 15. She is an extraordinary woman, so much fun and so energetic. But to get to be such an icon, to have exploded like a rocket - I don't really get it. She is beautiful, but so are many others." He goes on. "I don't think she looks any good in any photos of the past five years. In fact, she looks crap in all of her recent huge advertising campaigns. Chanel, Burberry, Rimmel. She looks awful. It's as if it's enough just for her to look something like Kate Moss. It's a dreadful life for her, to live in this position. And cocaine? What a surprise that was."
