Kate Moss hand-picks nude photos of herself ahead of London exhibition

She's been shot million times by the world's most renowned fashion photographers, but from all the portraits of herself, supermodel Kate Moss has carefully hand-picked only 11 images that will be displayed at a London exhibition opening this month - and some images reveal her fully naked.

Amongst the archives, the Croydon-born supermodel has chosen a variety of racy pictures taken by the likes of Mario Testino, Annie Leibovitz, Terry Richardson and Bruce Weber, for the Osborne Samuel and Beetles + Huxley's annual joint exhibition.

There are a couple of fully naked pictures of her from 2005 and a striking black and white portrait by Leibovitz for an Indian-inspired American Vogue shot in 1999.

There's also a 2006 close-up portrait by David Sims and her first shoot for Calvin Klein for the Obsession perfume in 1993 by her then-boyfriend Mario Sorrenti.

Entitled The Photographers 2015, the exhibition will showcase over 150 photos by legendary artists, exploring the history of photography from 1910 to the present day, across Osborne Samuel and Beetles + Huxley London galleries.

Two of China's most renowned photographers, Ren Hang and Zhang Kechun, will join the exhibition, too, and their work will be on display at the Bettles + Huxley.

Osborne Samuel will host seminal works with the masters of black and white photography and will showcase The Kate Moss Portfolio for the first time ever in the UK

The collaborative exhibition will open its doors on 25 November
