The fashion legend and new Decorté creative director opens up about her life as a young model, her thoughts on getting older and her down-to-earth approach to beauty.
KATE MOSS IS ON A ROLL. The famously guarded supermodel is rhapsodising about lotions and potions. “Sorry for going on,” she says, finally coming up for air, surrounded by a pile of makeup and moisturisers, “but when I get really excited about something I can talk about it for hours.” The reason for Moss’s volubility, and her visit to New York, where we meet in the penthouse of a downtown hotel, is her recent signing as the creative director of Decorté, the cult Japanese beauty brand known for its state-of-the-art serums and whose advertising campaigns she has modelled in for the past three years. “I love the products, I really believe in them,” she offers, “so it’s easy for me to talk about them. I used to bring them back for my friends every time I’d go to Japan because after the first time they were all like, ‘Please, can I have some more?’”
