Recently married supermodel Kate Moss appears on the September cover of Vogue magazine, which features an exclusive look into her wedding to musician Jamie Hince.
Arguably the most famous model of her time, Moss, 38, has been a fashion tour-de-force over her decades-long career. Reading like a love-letter to Moss’ career, Vogue writers took a look at what exactly has fascinated the world about fashion’s it-girl.
“The simple fact is that Kate is irresistible,” the article reads. “There is vulnerability and there is strength, and when she turns on the klieg light of her flirtatious, giggly life force, it is impossible not to fall just a little bit in love.”
But despite the writer’s fascination, along with the rest of the fashion world, Moss opened up about the man who finally caught her eye for the duration, her new husband, Hince.
“We were just so loved up, and he asked me to marry him every day,” Moss gushes of their courtship.
With Hince being a celebrity himself (a guitarist for the band The Kills), the guest-list for the wedding reads as a who’s-who in fashion. Her dress and the bridesmaids’ dresses were designed by embattled designer John Galliano, fresh off of his rehab stint after an anti-Semitic rant earlier this year, her wedding images for Vogue were shot Mario Testino and her wedding planner is Sam Gainsbury, the same woman who co-produced the mega-successful Metropolitan Museum exhibition “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty.”
Testino, who has known Moss since she was 16 years old, recalls a time when she wasn’t the powerhouse she is today and she was worried that she wasn’t being seen enough in a Paris fashion show.
“You know, in life there’s perfume and there’s cologne,” he told her. “Cologne, you have to spray every fifteen minutes. Perfume, you put a drop and it lasts a week. You’re perfume.”
The September issue of Vogue hits newsstands August 23.
