Kate: The Kate Moss Book

Product Information

She attended Ridgeway Primary School and Riddlesdown High School (now Riddlesdown Collegiate) in Purley. A further shoot followed for The Face, by Tony Briggs, entitled "Haute Coiffure", [21] Moss went on to become the "anti-supermodel" of the 1990s in contrast to the models of the moment, [22] such as Cindy Crawford, Elle Macpherson, Claudia Schiffer and Naomi Campbell, who were known [22] for curvaceous and tall figures. Meanwhile, the UK’s dysfunctional care system robs families and the taxpayers of vast sums to offer often mediocre care – with disastrous consequences during the Covid pandemic.

But before Minou can decipher the mysterious message, a chance encounter with a young Huguenot convert, Piet Reydon, changes her destiny forever. Created by Kate Moss herself, in collaboration with creative director Fabien Baron, Jess Hallett, and Jefferson Hack, this book is a highly personal retrospective of Kate Moss’s career, tracing her evolution from “new girl with potential” to one of the most iconic models of all time. Ana, a young Spanish woman, lives in a small town on the north-west coast of Tenerife which lies in the shadow of a mighty volcano. Her books have been translated into thirty-seven languages and published in more than forty countries.

I thought we could just make a go of it as a couple and fuck everything else, that was my approach, but she was more like, no, you’ve got to get clean and then everything will be fine.

Our economy and culture are stubbornly constructed to ensure care is provided either for free – by loving female relatives – or cheaply by low-paid care workers who are predominantly women; they have been built on centuries of socialisation of girls to be caring and attentive to the needs of others to the point of self-sacrifice. Thanks to the amazing team at Pan Macmillan UK and all my wonderful publishers worldwide for their enthusiasm, as well as all the librarians and booksellers for their unstinting support. Her books include the multimillion-selling Languedoc trilogy which begins with the unmissable Labyrinth, and the bestselling more recent series, The Joubert Family Chronicles. Villagers believed that the deceased died after summoning a dark demon from the old Visigoth sepulchre at the top of the mountain.This beautiful illustrated book is both an alternative feminist history of the world and a personal memoir about the nature of women’s struggles to be heard, about how history is made and by whom.
