Subject: The Individualistic Book Review: Kate Moss Style | 23 February 2010


We all know Kate. Whether you love her or hate her, there's no denying her impact on fashion. From music festivals in Wellingtons to her latest campaigns for Yves Saint Laurent. She's got it, that thing. That something so indescribable that it baffles and delights us.
This book is well written in a historiographic format. It doesn't really delve into the mind of Moss as is promised in the introduction. Instead, it follows quite blandly, the looks Kate has made famous and gives a history of the looks themselves. I would have liked more insight into why Kate chooses what she does, but the book fell short there. The truth is, with a beautiful book like this, you don't really need that. The stunning photographs are enough. They prove that this isn't something you sit and read. Rather, it is more akin to a coffee table lookbook. The brilliant photos and well-arranged chapters cover the range of fashion from the nineties to now. It's a great resource when you're inspiration well is running dry. I will keep it for many years as beautiful tribute to personal style. Kate is known for not giving a damn about how her looks are received. Perhaps that is why she's so polarizing. This book might help incite the courage you need to stop giving Damns out like candy.

Our Review: ☆☆☆ -Three StarFlakes

Why: The book could've had more textual strength, but the visuals compensate.

Love Josh
