Supermodel and new mom Kate Moss has agreed to pose nude and airbrush free for the September issue of W magazine.
Moss gave birth to her first daughter, Lila Grace, last September and has worked hard to restore her once waif-like figure to a more curved shape – but was happy to pose without the aid of a computer retouching.
Kate was photographed by nine snappers for nine collectible covers of the magazine, and posed for Chuck Close for the controversial nude pictures inside the title.
Close explains, “My daguerreotypes are not flattering – any flaws on one’s complexion are exaggerated wildly. And I thought she might be upset, but she said, ‘I’ve had enough pretty pictures made of me.'”
W’s creative director, Dennis Freeman, justifies the full-frontal nudity by claiming to “give much more credit to our readers than I believe most magazines give to the readers.”
He adds Moss was the obvious choice for this project, saying, “Kate has been our muse – ours and our photographers – for the simple reason that there are so many aspects to Kate’s personality.
“She’s a woman, she’s a child, she’s a tomboy, she’s very sexual, she’s smart, she’s funny, she’s good, she’s bad. She’s probably one of the most beautiful, ordinary-looking women and that makes her interesting.”
