Kate Moss, a la Herb Ritts

Images via The Fashion Spot

The sexy Kate Moss shoot in Vogue Hommes International made me think of the late photographer Herb Ritts.

Ritts was responsible for some of the most iconic supermodel images; his work with Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell made them look like Greek goddesses. It's funny, because Kate Moss isn't what you'd call a Herb Ritts girl: she hasn't the Amazonian presence or powerful features of a Tatjana Patitz or Stephanie Seymour. And yet, it's a testament to her skill as a model - as well as that of photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin - that they managed to pull off a pretty good HR homage, even managing to bring a little something original of their own to the table.

A fresh face for 2010

Kasia Struss, the Polish model, is my hunch for a favourite new face for 2010. As well as featuring on the December cover of Vogue Italia, alongside Christy Turlington, Gisele and Lara Stone, and nabbing a few campaigns like Chloe AW09, she suits the new mood of restraint in fashion (see previous post). Here's a piccie of her I found on models.com, taken by Craig McDean in the most recent issue of Interview.
