Kate Moss, Vogue and Wellington Boots

The inimitable Ms Kate Moss is on yet another Vogue cover – this time for the August ‘Ageless’ issue – here are a few stills from the shoot.
I am always rather conflicted with these representations of age. We are a society obsessed with youthfulness – Moss at 34 is quoted as saying “I am still acting like a seventeen-year-old, I definitely haven’t become middle-aged. I’ve got a house and a daughter and all that, but I still like to have fun. Even in my business we still have fun.” And the oldest person in the edition Roberta McCain – US presidential hopeful John McCain’s mother said “Honey, I’ve had a dream life, and it was all luck, I’m glad my mother’s not around because I still don’t plan ahead or think things out. Mother told me once, ‘If the gardener asked you to go to Chinatown with him, you’d go.’ And I thought, Well, of course I would.”
So it seems that in order to age fashionably one should maintain eternal youth – one way or another – its a bit disingenuous.

If we cannot aspire to Kate’s ageless mindset and appearance – perhaps we can step into her boots – a first for SA the french brand of Wellies – Le Chameau is now available locally. Here is Kate sporting festival chic and Le Chameau’s in happier days with the bad boy of rock Pete Doherty – email – homage@mweb.co.za – for more info
