-Kate Moss-
¨ I met frank Sinatra and Dob Dylan in the space of 15 minutes. Frank Sinatra kissed me on the lips.¨
The Last of the Supermodels.
She ended an era. And then started another one. There’s something really special about Kate. She is a casual philosopher. She knows everybody. And if she doesn’t know everything, she knows a lot-about a lot of things. She’s bewitching and witchy-wise. Here’s some of the wisdom. And some of the wit
Kate Moss is the last of the supermodels. After Kate, they really weren’t super anymore. So what happened? Was it something she did? Was it Kate that killed the supermodel?
She broke the mold, anyway. Before little Kate Moss, supermodels were imposing Amazons, over 6 feet in heels, swaggering and swiveling down the runway with hot hauteur. They had big breasts and big boyfriends and didn’t get out of bed for less than 10 grand a day. (And back then 10 grand was money!) So along came this little 14-year-old Brit with a sweet smile and naughty eyes, and she blew away the whole supermodel aesthetic.
Kate was grunge. She was the Kurt Cobain of mannequins. She rocked, but in a whole new way. And the outrage was palpable. She was “the waif.” And suddenly everyone was concerned about whether she was getting enough to eat. For someone who grew up on Twiggy, I wasn’t sure what they were talking about. To me the shocking thing about Kate was that she was 5 foot 7. But suddenly she was blamed for anorexia and things like “heroin chic.” Remember? The other person who took heat for that was Vincent Gallo, who has never even smoked pot. Funny how image works. All along I insisted that I’d never seen an anorexic with such nice tits and ass.
But the supermodels weren’t over yet. In fact, Kate was adopted by the supermodel club, the sidekick to Christy and Naomi and company. She fit right in. She had her share of legendary beaux and sensational incidents. She worked hard and got to the top, booking more covers than anybody else.

-Jerry Hall-
Beautiful, glamorous and Texan to boot, Jerry Hall has been everywhere, met everyone and lived to tell the tale. The world’s first supermodel, girlfriend to two of rock’n'roll’s biggest star, member of the Studio 54 set and star of stage and screen, her jet-set life and fabulously successful career have become the stuff of legend.
Since the age of 16, when she was discovered on a beach in Saint-Tropez, Jerry has lived her life in the full glare of the world’s media. As the most sought-after model of the 70s and the 80s, she worked with the top photographers – including Helmut Newton, Richard Avedon, Irving Penn and David Bailey – and was painted by great artists such as Andy Warhol and Lucian Freud. Briefly engaged to Bryan Ferry, she then fell for Mick Jagger and bore him four children while living at the center of the Rolling Stones maelstrom for 20 years. In the last two decades her career has expanded into acting, including roles in Batman and the Graduate.
The result is an unparalleled collection of fabulous professional photographs, an intimate family album and a candid, personal account of what Jerry calls her ‘extraordinary fortune life’.
-Chloë Sevigny-
Chloë Sevigny has appeared in almost 30 films and television shows since kicking off her career in 1995. She’s also designed an exclusive line of clothing for Opening Ceremony, but let’s face it: Most people know her only as the actress who went down on Vincent Gallo in “The Brown Bunny”.
In observing Chloë on screen, it seems safe to say that she’s completely comfortable with her body. When she appears in public or in the red carpet either she looks CRAZY or she looks AMAZING, and that’s all we really ask for.
For her style, her looks, her lifestyle, and the fact that she’s 34 and looking flawless … Chloë Sevigny is a true Naked Icon.
