US Vanity Fair September 2006 : Kate Moss by Mert & Marcus

[ShanaLucas]

As a longtime subscriber to Vanity Fair, I can say with a fair amount of anticipation that I'm looking forward to this issue. For the past few years, Vanity Fair US has become so insufferably political in content with not enough style and fun! So this this news comes as sheer delight for me!

Vanity Fair US has become so insufferably political in content with not enough style and fun! So this this news comes as sheer delight for me!

I agree lately VF has been very somber in tone, with the noted exception of Tom Ford's Hollywood issue which was a naked hoot. I think this should be an interesting change of pace.

Though I think Vanity Fair is one of the rare magazines wherein I prefer an actress or actor on the cover to a model. VF isn't a fashion magazine though it does from time to time focus on fashion with mixed results. I tend to think of VF as a very Hollywood publication dealing primarily with celebrity profiles or political articles. In this instance I wouldn't mind seeing a very stylish trendsetting actress as the focus rather than Kate. Granted Kate is a living style icon but she's also going to be on the cover of just about everything else that month. It could be unique of they did a group shot of people who are raising the bar stylewise for the cover. A collective of models, designers, fashionable celebrities and so on so forth. A bit like the covers they used to do for the Hollywood issue but with a fashion tilt.

Then again its Mert & Marcus, they never dissappoint me so I'm still going to look forward to this.

Vanity Fair September 2006

"Less than a year after the coke fiasco and then the Vanity Fair cover comeback, Kate lands another VF cover for the upcoming September fashion issue. Supposedly the images are insane and we can't wait to see that cover." --- Pop Sugar

Can't wait. So glad that I subscribe.

[Zoolander]

So what did the previews look like?

 

[MulletProof]

She's not just a model, she's one of the greatest of all time, and as such she has her own special celebrity status, just like Linda. At 32 and 41 respectively, they're better than most of the younger ones. But now we do have some younger models who've been around for some time doing good work, and the number of fresh worthless faces who nab new campaigns has diminished (thank god) which should give some of the younger girls an oportunity to grow and become, if not supers, so perhaps iconic models.

i agree.
in my opinion, the modelling business has become a little too fast with the finding-and-dimissing, it makes it hard for young starlets to take a while and understand what their job is, what fashion or style is about and the beauty of clothes, many of them dont even know who's photographing them or who they're walking for, that's why a lot of them come as fast as they go and that's why people like kate and my far from favorite linda are still running the business, because got an education on that.

"After only a brief hiatus from her last VF cover of December 2005, Kate Moss is on the cover again, clad only in a white fur hat, white gloves, and black knee-high boots. For her pains, Moss gets a Best-Dressed Hall of Fame title."

Having endured a career-threatening cocaine scandal and a stint in rehab, supermodel KATE MOSS has bounced back and now graces the cover of the new issue of Vanity Fair, on newsstands this week.
Tonight, ET has your exclusive first look at the fragile beauty's stunning layout -- and how the misunderstood model has survived in the cutthroat fashion industry!
The 32-year-old supermodel and mother of three-year-old LILA was dropped by various companies in September after a newspaper published stills from a video allegedly showing her snorting cocaine at a recording studio. At the time, the British beauty released a statement of apology:
"I take full responsibility for my actions," she wrote. "I also accept that there are various personal issues that I need to address and have started taking the difficult, yet necessary, steps to resolve them. I want to apologize to all of the people I have let down because of my behavior which has reflected badly on my family, friends, co-workers, business associates and others."
In late October, Moss checked out of rehab and only weeks later completed her first modeling assignment since the scandal for Italian designer ROBERTO CAVALLI. Said Cavalli, "Kate looks absolutely fantastic. She is back working and doing what she does best and, like usual, she was really professional."
Watch ET tonight for a first look at Kate's stunning Vanity Fair pictorial!

more info on what the cover looks like/the best-dressed list from wwd:

VANITY FASHION PLATES: Despite being infamous for frumpiness, journalists didn't do half badly on Vanity Fair's International Best Dressed list, which this September appears in the new forum of the magazine's first-ever Style issue. Page Six's Richard Johnson gets a shout-out for keeping his "offbeat Manhattan-prepster cool" while the gossip column was "under siege" in a payola scandal. Other journalists on the list include Anderson Cooper, Brian Williams, Zac Goldsmith (The Ecologist magazine), Fran Lebowitz, Vogue style director Alexandra Kotur and Tatler's Isabella Blow, and Anna Piaggi, who were both named to the category of "Fashion Originals."

After only a brief hiatus from her last VF cover of December 2005, Kate Moss is on the cover again, clad only in a white fur hat, white gloves, and black knee-high boots. For her pains, Moss gets a Best-Dressed Hall of Fame title, an honor shared this year with the likes of Jordan's Queen Rania, Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts, Giancarlo Giammetti of Valentino and hostess Connie Wald. Newly minted fashion and style director Michael Roberts, who was hired away from The New Yorker in April, takes credit for the choice in the magazine's Behind the Scenes column: "Kate, I decided, had to be on the cover of the Style issue, because she is the most-followed style icon of our time."

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Oprah Winfrey, Kanye West and David Beckham are among the others on this year's list, along with Prince William and Gwen Stefani.

Thanks a lot for this info.I wonder if Anna Wintour made it into the list!

 

[L.A.Gant]

On the Vanity Fair official website there is a section called "coming next week" that highlights a "Video Kate Moss Cover Shoot". I wonder if that was there last week and the video shoot will be available once the entertainment shows have shown the clips later today...

They are also going to feature her shoot today on Access Hollywood...

 

[Miss Dalloway]

^^Oh thats cool will you tell us how the cover looks like!

 

[Ieva]

I wish Kate Moss would disappear from the earth. Then maybe someone would once and a while consider a different model for something. Face it, Kate Moss is not used as a model anymore, and calling her one is false. People are using her for her celebrity/scandal appeal. That's all.

Ahmen.
