Vogue España April 2025 : Lila Moss by David Gomez-Maestre

It doesn’t work because she doesn’t have the childish and carefree charm Kate had. It all looks so overly fake, at least make a smile look somewhat decent.
 
Yep, sort of a shameless rip-off from Kate's past pics.

And your words just reminds me of what Maud (tFS's very own @mariemaud, and a die-hard, kinda hard-core Kate Moss stan) once said : that Lila just looks like a girlie version of Jefferson Hack. Must say that it was pretty much on point. Lila looks a lot more like daddy than mommy.

The fact she's actually cute-looking is alright to me (and that's me waking up from my bad-tasted evening, @MulletProof you can feel relieved, I'm back to my usual standards :ninjas::D:innocent:). That doesn't make her a talented model by any means. That just makes her... a cute youngster able to make a decent photograph every now and then, mostly because she's got the chance to work with the right people. I hate myself when I sound that harsh to my own ears. But I guess I'll never become enough of a coward to be dishonest on such a public place as tFS. Haha.
I don't mean to be vicious towards someone who's maybe a perfectly nice human being but modeling is, in essence, selling products through someone presented as an 'ideal' so questions will come!, and.. I don't even see that type of indisputable cuteness. I can see cuteness through biased familiarity (as in, distant cousin, daughter of a friend) but to me, she produces the type of work of these 'fashion' projects of someone who decided to give photography a shot in a small town and needs a model and this is the one skinny girl they know. There really isn't much else..

Maud was right (as usual!), Lila is Jefferson Hack, her looks are all dad, and not to make this too deep but I actually feel sad for these girls because modeling did become, for the daughters of famous/pretty people, the only tool to certify themselves as 'pretty' in a time of social media when that matters the most and anyone can be pretty but only few can secure a high-status place in the pyramid (modeling). Nobody really wants to be 'quirky' or some Chloe Sevigny of 2025, and certainly nobody wants to go through the criticism the daughters of Demi Moore received in the 00s. Having an agency and calling yourself a 'model' promises a better outcome in the microscopic world of tiktok and instagram but unfortunately, some cases (Lila's or Christy's daughter) make you constantly feel like you're witnessing humiliation. Wish they knew (the way Carolyn Murphy's daughter knew) that they don't have to navigate the awkwardness of having a mother who is some international template of beauty by succumbing to the scrutiny of that through imitation. They could excel in so many industries..
 
The only reason I looked through the digital edition was to see what reprints I can expect to see everywhere this month.

Lila Moss is young and pretty, and seems very polite and professional, and there's probably the aspect in the industry that you wouldn't want to fall out with Kate Moss if you could possibly help it, but the camera doesn't love her as much as it did her mother, and there's no shame in that, because that's how it is for most people.

Also, when your parent is a model, would you not want to be known, in your own right, for something different, instead of being a watered-down version of what came before?
 
I can't celebrate something that doesn't mean anything. Spain and United Kimdong are old Coutries and they love sagas.
 
I like the cover story more than I thought I would, they chose a bad cover though.
