Kate’s early poses in picture auction - April 17 2007
An unseen photograph of Kate Moss taken at a quarry in Croydon is going under the hammer.
The image was taken by the photographer Corinne Day two years after the model was discovered at JFK airport at the age of 14.
Never published before, Kate Taken In Croydon, dating from 1990, is one of a series of photographs of the supermodel going on sale at Christie’s next month. It is being sold by a friend of the star, and is expected to fetch £6,000.
The photographer’s famous image of Kate At Home, taken for their first Vogue collaboration in 1993 and showing the then 19-year-old dressed in pants and pink vest and surrounded by fairy lights, is expected to sell for £7,000.
The Vogue photographs moved grunge into the mainstream and were infamous for kickstarting what was known as the "heroin chic" look.
Two naked portraits include a 1996 platinum print by Irving Penn, expected to sell for around £22,000 and Albert Watson’s giant 2m sq image of a naked Kate, expected to fetch £15,000.
A complete set of six prints of the model without make-up, by Chuck Close, could be snapped up for between £15,000 and £20,000.
Christie’s London Head of Photographs Yuka Yamaji said: "Kate Moss is a cultural icon and arguably the most influential model of our day."
Photographs of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, as well as one of Madonna wearing Minnie Mouse ears, will also be included in the photography sale, which takes place on May 31.
Kate’s beauty fears - April 4 2007
Kate Moss seems to have taken her exclusion from the 100 sexiest women list quite badly - she’s apparently begged old flames to reassure her that she’s still beautiful.
The supermodel was said to be devastated to discover she was thousands of votes outside the top 100 in this year’s FHM magazine list of desirable stars.
So the 33-year-old - who has dated celebs such as Johnny Depp and Lenny Kravitz - trawled through her phone book and dialled some exes to check they think she’s still got it, reports the Daily Star.
"Kate has remained friends with lots of her old flames," a source told the paper.
And although she rarely calls them, the model "needed to be told she’s still attractive by people who have fallen for her in the past," said the source.
FHM executive editor Chris Bell has said FHM readers see Kate as "past it".
"Kate’s alleged hard party lifestyle is starting to take its toll and she’s definitely starting to look a little weathered," he said. Ouch!
Moss set to miss out in ’sexy’ poll - April 2 2007
Supermodel Kate Moss is set to be booted out of a list of the world’s 100 sexiest women.
Pete Doherty’s girlfriend, whose modelling contracts are said to have earned her £7.5 million in 2006, first made the FHM magazine list 10 years ago.
The 33-year-old model for the likes of Rimmel, Burberry and Agent Provocateur was in the top 100 last year.
But Moss, who made a sensational comeback after a cocaine scandal, is thousands of votes outside of the top 100.
Last year Britney Spears had a fall from grace, missing out on the top 100 after claiming the top spot in 2004.
Those set to make the top 100 in 2007 include Keira Knightley and Factory Girl star Sienna Miller.
FHM executive editor Chris Bell said: "In the fashion world Kate is considered one of the most beautiful women, but according to FHM readers she’s past it.

After a series of shoots for teenage magazines, it was Harper’s Bazaar that finally launched her into the international arena. In 1992, she became the Face of Calvin Klein. Moss originally spearheaded the controversial "waif" look which critics claimed encouraged anorexia in impressionable teenagers. The girl from Croydon, who once said she "might’ve been a bank manager" now divides her time between London and LA, where she is often seen at The Viper Rooms, the controversial club owned by her one-time actor boyfriend Johnny Depp.
She has appeared in several notable documentaries about the fashion world and in 1995, released a hard-back book of pictures entitled simply "Kate". Having checked into London’s £300-a-day Priory Clinic in November 1998 suffering from exhaustion, Kate emerged refreshed the following January to announce that she had spent the last decade modelling "drunk". She told The Face magazine, "That’s what you do. You always have champagne before the shows. Always. Even at ten in the morning. It got to the point one time when we were [saying], ’We’re not going out without any champagne’."
Losing the Calvin Klein contract to fellow Brit Lisa Ratliffe in 1999, Kate has now taken on the status of fashion icon. In the May 2000 issue of Vogue, she played muse to a variety of the most cutting edge artists and photographers. In London she is still represented by Storm. Written in 2000
