Kate Moss, a la Herb Ritts

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.

Carre Otis forgotten star

We've had the Stephanie Seymour revival (thanks to Katie Grand's Pop) and even a Tatjana Patitz renaissance of sorts (on the Chanel catwalk).Surely next in line for this honour should be Carre Otis. While never reaching the supermodel status of her '90s peers (an abusive relationship with Mickey Rourke and a drug habit put paid to that), Otis nevertheless managed to make a real impression and is still one of my favourite models of all time.
