Kate Moss - posting requires reading thread rules, see post #1
from reuters.com
- After two decades of fast living, British super-model Kate Moss says motherhood and creative work with major fashion brands have helped usher in a more mellow phase of life, though she's still haunted by existence in a celebrity bubble.
"I'm paranoid," she said. "Paparazzi are a nightmare. "I don't think you ever get used to some man hiding in a bush ... It's unnerving to be watched all the time," said the blonde 37-year old on Tuesday, in Hong Kong to launch an Asian flagship store for French handbag label Longchamp.
A doyenne of the fashion world after breaking onto the catwalk as a precocious and chain-smoking British teenager with attitude, Moss has weathered a string of scandals and remains a favorite of leading houses like Dior and Louis Vuitton.
She was photographed allegedly snorting cocaine at a party over five years ago, and smoked a cigarette on a Parisian catwalk this year, drawing the ire of anti-smoking advocates.
Asked about her endurability in such a fickle industry, Moss eased back into a plush green sofa in her harbor-view suite and said: "I haven't got a plan ... I just take it as it comes."
Longchamp's founding Cassegrain family enlisted Moss to design several lines of leather bags, drawn by the model's hip, inimitable personal style and naturalness.
"What she brings to the brand is maybe a touch of rock and roll," said Sophie Delafontaine, artistic director of the leading French bag maker which forecasts 2011 sales to rise than 10 percent, helped in part by Moss's endorsement. "She's very near to her customer because she's active, she's working, she has a kid, she's traveling, she's sometimes casual and sometimes she's very chic and glamorous."
The brand, which bears the logo of a jockey on a racing horse, enjoyed a strong rebound in 2010 with sales up over 23 percent, helped in part by Moss's star allure. Moss, who has dated and partied hard with rock stars such as Pete Townsend and is about to marry Kills singer Jamie Hince, may now be entering a more mellow phase of life.
Having officially left catwalks seven years ago, Moss strutted the runway at Louis Vuitton's show at Paris Fashion Week this month. She is also the face of Yves Saint Laurent's La Parisienne perfume, launched in 2009, and Christian Dior's new lipstick Dior Addict.
Despite her diversifying career, she said it was premature to start thinking about her own brand just yet, given the demands of family. "I'm just kind of going along with the flow," said Moss, dressed in an elegant black dress, black tights and black heels.
"I'm still modeling a lot so I kind of don't really want to say I'll do this, and this, and this. I keep mixing it up."
She is, however, keen to launch a children's line of clothing, inspired by her own young daughter. "When she has an outfit on, I've copied things of hers that I wanted made into grownup size," said Moss. "She's got better style!"

The magazine will actually be in stores tomorrow 31Mar.
There has been a serious embargo on this issue due to time sensitive content......that I'm still at a loss as to what it is.
Anyhow back to Kate and 'Perfection In Couture' is quite simply that, and could be her best editorial work in some time.
Also still loving the headshot for HB UK as opposed to other cover. Saw it again at work today and it really holds your attention.

Is that your wedding dress Kate? Miss Moss models a gown by the woman rumoured to be designing the OTHER Kate's dress
on 30th March 2011
It hardly seems likely that Kate Moss would turn up to her special day wearing the same label chosen by Kate Middleton, but the model may just surprise us.
Sarah Burton, who succeeded Alexander McQueen after the designer's death last year, is rumoured to be the woman chosen to design what will undoubtedly become one of the most famous wedding dresses in the world come April 29.
And now Kate Moss, who will walk down the aisle herself this summer, has worn a design by Burton in a new photoshoot for Harper's Bazaar.
Wedding preview? Kate Moss models a white gown by Alexander McQueen's successor Sarah Burton
And with it's flouncy layers and dramatic design, the white gown wouldn't look out of place at a Kate Moss wedding.
The supermodel, 37, wears the gown to pay in a tribute edition to McQueen in the new issue of the magazine.
Of the late designer, who tragically committed suicide in February last year, Kate says: 'There’s never ever going to be anybody like him.
She recalls first meeting McQueen. ‘It was all a bit of a blur – I was doing a lot of shows at the time.
'I can’t even remember the first show I did for him, but I remember the first show he did in New York. It was raining, everyone was outside, and I said, “Lee, you’ve got to get Anna Wintour in!” He didn’t care. It was all chaos.’
'His was the most exciting show to see ever, even if you weren’t there. I would hear about it on the phone and hear Lee and hear everyone.
'There was so much tension, but we had the best laughs. He was a dear friend of mine. I miss him terribly.'
Kate discusses clothes the late designer gave her during their friendship in the interview. ‘There are a few he gave me before he died,' she says.
'I went to give him his Christmas present and he gave me a lot of stuff. He was saying,
“You’ve got to have this.”
'He gave me a black dress and a fur that I wore to his funeral. Before the funeral, I was
going through my wardrobe thinking, “What am I going to wear?” It’s weird, now that I think about it – almost like he kind of knew.’
Tribute: The supermodel discusses her friend, the late Alexander McQueen in the new issue
The man dubbed the wild child of British fashion, 'gave women power,' the supermodel insists, 'while letting them be fragile and vulnerable at the same time.
'People always used to say he was a misogynist, but it took me a while to realise that he was actually empowering women and not the other way around.'
There is almost as much speculation surrounding who will create Kate's wedding gown as there is for the 'Other Kate.'
Star attraction: Kate is in Hong Kong where she attended the opening of the Longchamp flagship store yesterday
She is rumoured to have ditched plans for her friend John Galliano to design the bridal dress after he was fired from Christian Dior in disgrace over his alleged anti-Semitic outburst in Paris last month.
Kate Halfpenny, who dressed Kate in a vintage gown for her 35th birthday party, is another name being circulated.
Miss Moss is currently in Hong Kong, to open a flagship Longchamp store.
Friends: Kate pays tribute to McQueen, and says 'I miss him dearly'
She designs a collection of handbags for the luxury brand and cut the ribbon and the grand opening yesterday.
Kate will walk down the aisle on July 2 to tie the knot to her rocker beau, Jamie Hince.
Full feature appears in the May issue of Harper’s Bazaar, on sale Thursday March 31.

About her in Bazaar May 2011[/B]
Ok, the precious bones are there, the perfect old angle is ok,
her used expression and sight is very good worked as always,
the delicious bunny teeths are still there and works fine,
but where did her magic go?
