This gorgeously produced book features intimate, never-before-published
portraits of a young and undiscovered Kate Moss, taken in the early 1990s by her
then-boyfriend, Italian photographer Mario Sorrenti. Seen by Calvin Klein, the
photographs gave life to the famous Obsession campaign, which launched Moss to
international superstardom.
Sumptuously reproduced in tritone and presented in a cloth-covered clamshell
box, Kate is a stunning photographic portfolio of one of contemporary culture's
most iconic figures. It includes tipped-on images on the book and clamshell
box's covers, plus an introductory essay by Sorrenti, which puts the work in its
uniquely personal context.
This book, which celebrates the dawn of two legendary careers, and the start of
the highly influential aesthetic of 1990s fashion photography, is a must-have
for Kate Moss's fans, for fashion devotees, and for lovers of traditional
portraiture and fashion photography.
