Moss Is Boss

I just finished watching a documentary on Kate Moss (check it out on Youtube here) that left me truly amazed at how a single model can really influence a generation, decade and culture. We all know how amazing Kate Moss is, but this documentary really put it into perspective. She wasn't your typical Bombshell model of the time, like Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer and Linda Evangelista. She was unlike any model, and thats really what made her so special. It especially helped that she was loved greatly by photographers and editors alike. Some of the most famous and well respected photographers in the world, such as Bruce Weber, Mario Testino, and Peter Lindbergh, all took a great liking to Kate. Her look and rebellious attitude suspended her to icon status for the 90s grunge generation, and she still holds that status to this day. A look back at some of my favorite editorials of Queen Moss:
