“I remember sitting next to her and feeling like my heart was going to stop,” he wrote about first meeting Moss. In the summer of 1991, the Italian-born Sorrenti met a young blonde from Croydon, in south London, while out on a modeling job. These are the photographs that convinced American designer Calvin Klein that the Sorrenti-Moss duo would help relaunch his fragrance, Obsession-the photographs that launched both their careers. But a new monograph, simply titled Kate, by famed photographer-and her former boyfriend-Mario Sorrenti, shows us 50 never-before-seen pictures from her early days as an aspiring model. Nearly a dozen books have been published about Moss, which range from glossy photographic tributes to academic dissections of her status as an icon. Gallery exhibitions have analyzed the power of her face, and auction houses have sold pictures of it for millions. She is her generation’s Twiggy, swinging the fashion pendulum away from curvy models back toward waiflike figures with doe-eyed gazes. For nearly three decades, Kate Moss has stared down the lenses of every major fashion photographer.
