Last month, Sorrenti and W Magazine creative director Dennis Freedman released Kate, a collection of fifty previously unpublished photos-each an exquisite slice of Moss’s pre-fame glow-bound by a gray hardcover. At twenty years old, he and Moss sank deep into earnest, adolescent love, and while their relationship eventually expired, his adoration for her lives on in photographic memory. One of those lucky photographers was Mario Sorrenti. But before she became the ubiquitous and inimitable Kate, her piercing gaze met only a small circle of lenses. Her unmatched versatility quickly launched her to the top of the fashion industry and then into the wider realm of pop culture, where she came to represent heroin chic and the grunge era and eventually an entire decade. The book was produced by Jefferson Hack, editor (and father of Kate's daughter Lila Grace) together with casting director Jess Hallett, and legendary French art director and magazine editor Fabien Baron.MARIO SORRENTI SHOWS A NEW SIDE OF KATE MOSSĮvery year since the Nineties icon Kate Moss was first discovered at JFK Airport in 1988, it has become increasingly difficult to imagine that any inch of her image remains foreign to the camera, to the public eye, to the consumer.
Titled simply Kate: The Kate Moss Book, it comes in at a back-breaking 488-pages, filled with 400 colour and black and white photos by Hedi Slimane, Juergen Teller, Mario Testino, Terry Richardson and Patrick Demarchelier among others many of which have never been seen before, after Kate trawled her personal archives to unearth hidden gems. The official release is still a week away, on 6 November, but you can pre-order now to ensure you're the first to have your hands on one. Its a celebration of Kates amazing career, and features eight different covers shot by the top flight of fashion photographers, from the late Corinne Day to Mert & Marcus, showing Kate in every incarnation, from freckle-faced teenager to the icon. It's been a long time coming, but the Kate Moss book is (almost) here.
