Apparently it’s very rare for Kate Moss to give interviews. So when we heard that she’d swerved away from her rule of “never complain, never explain” – we were intrigued to read this month’s The Edit.
Obviously the subject of the late Prince was touched upon, and Kate shared how in awe she was (yes, even Kate gets starstruck!) when she first met Prince, as he suddenly appeared out of nowhere:
“[It was] with Donatella (Versace); I was lying down on Donatella’s bed, in her suite, and she was talking about him, and I was like, ‘Why do you keep talking about Prince?’ And she went, ‘He’s there!’ I sat up, and he was sitting at the end of the bed. Oh my god, I couldn’t talk. Or look at him, really.”
Kate beams when she talks about her godchildren and her daughter, Lila Grace, even pointing out that she may even prefer their company to the grown ups, commenting that “adults can be so boring!”.
So it’s needless to say, Kate loves a good joke: “I just like comedy; I like taking the p*** out of myself,” she says. “I’m comfortable with that. I wouldn’t feel comfortable being serious. So, when she was asked to cameo in the new Absolutely Fabulous film, she didn’t hesitate.”
Kate Moss has just been announced as the new face for Alberta Ferretti, and the model looks every bit as sexy as ever in the black and white campaign, released only a few days ago.
On the subject of celebrity friendships, The Edit asks Moss what the late David Bowie was like: “I knew he would always have my back,” says Moss. “There are people who believe in you, that don’t give a s*** what people say. And he was one of them.”
“He would read [or if] he heard stuff, and he would check in, ‘Are you alright?’ When Bowie [sticks up for you], you feel better. ‘It’s fine, Bowie loves me, I don’t care what others think.’”.
