Pictures of Kate Moss’s first ever photoshoot are being displayed at London’s Lawrence Alkin Gallery.
Photographer David Ross was asked by his friend – Sarah Doukas, who had recently set up her own modelling agency, Storm – to take pictures of a then-14-year old ingénue called Kate Moss.
“Kate was a young girl like any other, but with a certain teenage air about her that was piercing,” said Ross. “She was against the grain of any other look of the time. She was a cool kid and refreshing in that sense. She just had an attitude and an expression that kind of came easy, I guess.”
