Kate Moss Reminisces About Famous 1993 Calvin Klein Shoot

Kate Moss shot to fame after her photo shoot for a Calvin Klein Obsession campaign back in 1993 and she’s opening up about it 24 years later!

The 43-year-old model was shot by her then boyfriend Mario Sorrenti.

“I think Calvin was really clever. He knew there was going to be something…” Kate said in the new issue of Harper’s Bazaar. “I knew it was a job, but I thought it was going to be a right laugh. It was the only time I got paid to go away. It’s never been like that since.”

Mario worked me like a dog. He was more professional than I was. He didn’t stop taking pictures even when I was sleeping. I was like, ‘Leave me alone.’ I’d wake up to the click of the Pentax. I don’t remember relaxing. I remember working,” she added. “I laid down on that couch for days. Days! For days, he’d say, ‘Stay there and don’t move.’”

Kate says that photos like that aren’t taken anymore these days.

“People can’t take pictures like that anymore. The photos weren’t styled. There was nobody doing my hair and makeup. It was just raw. It captured a moment in our lives. And you couldn’t re-create them or that feeling. We didn’t have anything to lose and didn’t care what people thought. It was seven days on our own. It was very passionate. Mario and I were young and we were in love.”
