Designer of the YearCongratulations to ALL of our worthy winners! Thank you to our tFS forum members who voted and participated.
Yep, someone has to tell her it's over.
Dreamlike footage of a very young Kate Moss has resurfaced for Calvin Klein’s first fragrance campaign under Raf Simons. The American house has released 250 archival images of the supermodel originally taken by Mario Sorrenti for its Obsession scent, which was released in 1993. The never-before-scene graphics mark the release of two new Calvin fragrances, Obsessed for Women and Obsessed for Men, which are both slated to launch in the U.S. on July 1st.
The new Obsessed scents are said to be modern interpretations of the 1993 classic. Back then, it was considered youthful, sexy, and wildly romantic—a clever marketing ploy heightened by the hiring of Moss and her then real-life boyfriend, Sorrenti. In the unveiling of archive prints, Calvin seems to be returning to its roots; roots which helped reinvent the language of high caliber perfume for a younger generation.
For Simons, Obsessed was one of the first non-fashion CK projects at the top of his to-do list. “I suppose you could say we were obsessed with Obsession. If one thing summed up Calvin Klein for us visually, it was Mario Sorrenti’s Obsession campaign with Kate Moss,” said the designer in an interview today with WWD.
Simona Cattaneo, chief marketing officer of Klein’s fragrance license holder, Coty Luxury, echoed Simons’s sentiments in the same interview: “We are obsessed with Obsession, but more than this, it’s the memory of past love…It’s this huge, huge love story between Mario and Kate that’s represented in the original…Mario used to say he was so in love and obsessed with photographing Kate Moss.”
A longtime muse for the brand, Moss’s face has helped Klein secure a stronghold on the billion-dollar fragrance industry for the past 20-plus years.
vogue.comThis Is How Kate Moss Does Power Dressing
Kate Moss marches to her own beat, especially when it comes to style. The rest of the world may currently be revisiting '90s trends, but the she prefers to reference the late sixties. Moss has always been upfront about her love of the era’s fashion icons; she was a close friend to Anita Pallenberg, who passed away earlier this month, and Moss's vintage-inspired wardrobe is a testament to Pallenberg's influence among others. Heading out today for a meeting with frequent collaborator Mario Sorrenti on London’s Portobello Road, the British supermodel chose a look that pulled from the best in retro elements. In her mint green wide-legged trousers, metallic striped blouse, and circular tinted sunglasses, Moss looked like she’d stepped straight out of the swinging decade. The accessories game—black velvet platforms, gold hoops, and a utilitarian Saint Laurent duffel—was Moss at her bohemian best.
The outfit was more than just a throwback style moment, providing a playful take on power dressing. As a modeling mogul with a namesake agency to run, Moss knows that her style has to mean business. Though it's unlikely that we'll ever see the supermodel in boardroom basics, her ability to merge retro influences and professional polish shows exactly why she's boss.
