Kate Moss’s Haunting McQueen Campaign

Kate Moss is the new face of Alexander McQueen, and, surprisingly, it is the first time that the supermodel has fronted a campaign for the brand. She also stars in a futuristic film, which was inspired by Sixties British cult thriller, Peeping Tom.

The haunting short is seen through the eyes of an unknown voyeur who follows Moss through a darkened street, while holding a replica doll version of the model, before she enters a desolate building and begins to take off her clothes. As expected from McQueen, it is every bit as otherworldly and sinister as you might imagine.

The images and film were shot in East London by long-time McQueen collaborator Steven Klein. Moss was a good friend of the brand's late eponymous founder and appeared as a ghostly hologram at the end of the designer's autumn/winter 2006 show.

Naomi Campbell: Happy Birthday Little Sister Kate

Family aside, there aren't many people who know Kate Moss as well as Naomi Campbell. In fact, with a 25-year-long friendship under their belt, Campbell believes that they're as close as real siblings. Moss, who turns 40 today, is three years younger than her supermodel peer.

"She's like my little sister, and 40 or not she's still my little sister," Campbell said. "We even have nicknames for each other - but I don't think she'd want me to tell you! She's honest, loyal and straightforward. There's no bullshit. She's not pretentious in any way. What you see is what you get and I love that about her."

The pair first met in 1992, when Moss was 15 and Campbell was 18. Together with Christy Turlington, Campbell took the shy ingénue "under her wing" and they let her live in between their respective apartments in Paris and New York. They travelled as a two, talked about boys, cooked roast dinners, talk their way into gigs and would always make the effort to see one another at birthdays and Christmas. They became, as Campbell describes, a "backbone of support for each other". And, Moss was always on hand to offer style advice.

"She'd sometimes tell us how to dress, 'You need to be a bit more funky and downbeat,' she'd say. On her advice, I once wore Adidas sneakers with a Galliano dress, which in retrospect was an appalling faux pas," recalled Campbell. "I realised that Kate could get away with things that the rest of us couldn't."

She credits her friend for being spontaneous and fun, but also a "great mother" and someone who she can always rely on. She also comments on Moss as being "very shy at times - If she doesn't know you she doesn't speak."

"Perhaps what I love best about Kate is that she tries to keep the child within her, I would never want to her to lose it," she said. "Yes, she's 40, I'm 43, but it's always great to have your child in you," Campbell wrote for The Evening Standars. "It's that vulnerability that makes you special, that makes you do the creative things, she so has that and when we're together it comes out. We're like we're at secondary school. That's what happens with girlfriends who've grown up together. That's the charm of friendship."

Meet Kate Moss Model Sister

Kate Moss's younger half-sister, Lottie Moss, has been signed by Storm Model Management - the same agency as her elder supermodel sibling. Moss turned 16 yesterday, and tweeted a picture of her portfolio page on the Storm website.

"Now that she has turned 16 we are pleased to welcome Lottie onto our client roster on our New Faces division at Storm," a Storm spokesperson told us this morning. "However, as she is in full time education she is concentrating on her exams and this is her focus."

Lottie was 13 when she first caught the eye of scouts, after she appeared as a bridesmaid at her big sister's wedding in July 2011. Speculation fast emerged that she was due to follow in Moss's footsteps, but her mother and Storm decided that she was too young and her career has been put on hold until now. She is just 5'5" in height - generally considered as small for a model (Kate Moss is a diminutive 5'8") - and has the same high cheekbones as her sister. With blonde hair and wide blue eyes, will her fresh-faced, English rose appeal prove as much as an asset to her as it did a young Kate?

Kate Moss To Become Model Mentor?

Could Kate Moss be set to star in the next series of Naomi Campbell's modelling reality show, The Face? Campbell has approached her supermodel friend to take part, although her answer has not been disclosed.


"I asked Kate Moss to do The Face, I asked her last night! I have faith," she told Nick Grimshaw this morning on BBC's Radio 1's Breakfast Show.



Campbell launched The Face in September, in which she plays mentor to a group of models - who compete with teams led by Erin O'Connor and Caroline Winberg. The winner - who will be announced on Monday - lands a Max Factor campaign.



"It's a bit strange watching myself," Campbell admitted. "I was nervous about how I would be perceived because it's in England and this is where I was born."

Kate Moss For Topshop Returns

Kate Moss will launch a new collection for Topshop in April. The supermodel - who designed for the high street store between May 2007 and November 2010 - is reportedly already working on the range, which will be sold in 40 countries worldwide and on Topshop.com.

The offering will comprise 40 pieces, spanning womenswear, accessories and footwear, and - as with previous Topshop collaborations - is expected to be inspired by Moss's personal wardrobe. The brand's creative director and Vogue contributing fashion editor, Kate Phelan, and stylist Katy England are also involved in the project.

Green and Moss reportedly came up with the idea while on holiday together this summer. It is still unknown whether or not the pairing will be long-lasting.

Moss's first collection for Topshop in May 2007 was met with much fanfare: the supermodel launched the range by posing in the windows of the Oxford Street store, while the clothes themselves became ubiquitous among the under-30s. Highlights included a floral tea dress, which sparked a series of high-street copiesm and denim cut-offs similar to shorts that Moss wore to Glastonbury.
