 A rarity August 2, 2006
Tony Damato (London, UK)
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
A rarity among books of this kind on two counts. Firstly, it doesn't
br /mince words or fudge the sometimes truly scandalous scenes, secondly,
br /it ranges further than an account of a supermodel with all kinds of
br /controversial and intriguing suggestions about the modelling world and
br /the power and place of fashion. I like best of all that it has a mockingly
br /salacious tone and runaway pace, like Jean Baudrillard on acid meets
br /an oversexed Hello! magazine reporter in a sauna. Would all fashion biographies were like this.

This sure blows the probverbial lid of the mysteries of Moss. It was a puzzle as to where she really came from what she is about and how she got to be so everywhere. but this book unpicks the Moss machine because that it what it is and shows who is hiding behind the scenes and why. I was also amazed at how candid it is blowing the gaff on all that sex n drugs n frocks n roll, from charlie to ketamine to sex orgies in her weird chapel like barn. The story powers on like a novel through Kates highs and lows, I really felt for Kate when Johnny Depp decides that she is not the sharpest needle in the pack and turns to Vanessa Paradis. A biography that is also a pleasure to read as being sometimes hilarious plus Vermorel is not scared to poke fun at himself as well, or that is how I read the notorious episode when he gets dna samples out of her "Glastonbury pants" because surely there must be a law against that! Read this and the rag trade will never look the same and nor will the beautiful Kate Moss.

Quite amazing. Witty and acerbic. Fascinatingly voyeuristic. I particularly loved the reference to the author having extracted ancestral DNA information from the skidmarks on the supermodel's panties. Whatever next?

Fabulously readable, very droll too in parts, serves the supermodel well who thought she would get something written this classy? I felt got to know her from the inside through this, so much better than all that tabloid rubbish that seems just made up. Only I wish there was more about Pete Doherty he is somwat more, ahem ,deep than she is. Still the book got the real story before anyone else, they are STILL an item despite all the press bollocks, addicted to love says it all!

I wanted to love this book, but didn't. While there are interesting bits, it does read a little like OK! Magazine meets Cliff Notes "Guide to the Postmodern". You are not left with much of a sense of Kate Moss herself. I much preferred Laura Collins' fascinating biography for an insight into Moss's life without the hyperbole and Angela Buttolph's book for the fashion commentary.
