Today Christopher and I are in London for a dinner in honor of Leo Villareal's Light Show at the Hayward Gallery. But first, we decided to have a little afternoon date at the ICA to see Juergen Teller's retrospective. We had lunch at Rose's Bakery on the top floor of Dover Street Market, and then I stopped by Acne to buy a dark grey version of my favorite jeans. After that, we walked down past St James' Palace and along the Mall, and finally reached the ICA to find it closed. It's a freaking Monday!! I should have known better.
In honor of my mishap, I thought I'd have my own Juergen Teller retrospective right here. His portraits of Kate Moss are among my very favorite photos of her. I prefer Kate in minimal makeup, with naturally styled hair, and, as you know from the candids I posted last week, I like her in her own clothes. These pictures seem to capture an authenticity that I suspect gets pretty close to the real Kate. Do you agree?
Agree, and LOVE! She is the one and only!
ReplyDeleteI do!
ReplyDeleteand me too! she is a true beauty ...
ReplyDeleteTruly captivating, but I feel sad when I see her with a cigarette in her hand.
ReplyDeleteLove all these photos of Kate Moss - can never get tired of seeing her either! So inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI didn't like the semi porn use of her image. She is a lot more than that. Unfortunately she markets herself to make money and doesn't care how they use her. No wonder she "was" a heroin addict. The best photos of her are the ones that she looks natural, young fresh, and innocent. (good acting ability) She has a great face great body and hopefully stays healthy as she ages. Despite my critical assessment of some of her photos I do think she is pretty and a survivor in a very harsh industry. Good for her.
