I remember reading my first Vogue, in which Kate featured, with black and white photography talking about the backlash of starting the androgynous look and those Calvin Klein adverts with Mark Walhberg. And how she was sick of being blamed for a smoking and drinking culture. Reading the feature I was utterly in awe of her and her insight into the fashion world and I think that editorial feature decided my fate that I would work and love fashion.
So I'm overjoyed that across the pond in ye old Paris Kate is getting the praise I believe she deserves in the form of a photo exhibition showing her career to date. They've whittled down the mass of marketing campaigns and photography Kate has shoot to 25 pictures. And looking at them it's easy to remember what a force she is to be reckoned with and why unlike so many models Kate has been able to survive in a cut throat ageist environment that the world of modelling is.
The exhibition runs now to the 14th of September and I certainly think it's worth a day trip, I will certainly be making a visit.
