Few names in the fashion world resonate as powerfully as Kate Moss, and few photographers have captured her essence as intimately as Mario Sorrenti. Kate, a stunning photographic collection, offers an exclusive look at the young and undiscovered Kate Moss before her rise to international fame. This beautifully produced book is more than a collection of images; it’s a visual narrative that tells the story of a pivotal moment in fashion history, immortalising the collaboration that would launch Moss into superstardom.
The Birth of an Icon
In the early 1990s, Kate Moss was on the cusp of becoming one of the most recognisable faces in fashion. Photographer Mario Sorrenti, then her boyfriend, captured a series of intimate and elegant portraits that would later become iconic. These images caught the attention of Calvin Klein, leading to the legendary Obsession campaign that catapulted Moss into the global spotlight. Kate is a testament to that moment, preserving the raw, natural beauty that defined a generation.
Why Kate Is a Must-Have for Photography and Fashion Enthusiasts
Kate isn’t just a book for fans of Kate Moss; it’s an essential piece for anyone interested in fashion photography and 1990s culture. The collection features over 100 tritone photographs, each meticulously reproduced to maintain the integrity of Sorrenti’s original work. The images are both timeless and contemporary, capturing the unguarded moments that reveal Moss’s unique allure.
Accompanying the photographs is an introductory essay by Sorrenti, offering personal insights into the creative process and the emotional connection between photographer and subject. This narrative adds depth to the collection, making Kate not only a visual feast but also a compelling story of artistic collaboration.
The Impact of Kate on Fashion Photography
The collaboration between Sorrenti and Moss marked the beginning of a new aesthetic in fashion photography—one that embraced simplicity, authenticity, and a raw, unfiltered approach to beauty. This style would go on to influence countless photographers and shape the visual language of the 1990s and beyond. Kate is a celebration of that transformative period, making it a vital addition to the library of anyone who appreciates the art of photography.
