When is it acceptable to put a tween model on the cover of a style magazine and not invite massive universal outrage? Spanish fashion magazine L’Officiel has found the answer for its debut issue: when it’s vintage Kate Moss, that’s when. For her latest cover, the supermodel showcases soft ombre waves, a goofy grin and a done-up shirt with matching white tie (no clothing credit is available but it could be the first time ever that the Whitgift Centre in Croydon can claim a glossy cover).
The shot of Way Back When Kate is thought to have been taken for a school yearbook in the 1980s, but what is most striking about the smiley picture with its framed-on-a-mantlepiece vibes, is just how much it looks like a bonafide fashion shoot from 2015 appropriating a naive year-book shoot from the 1980s. Fashion constantly eating itself, if nothing else.
