Kate Moss is back as the new face of Saint Laurent

Kate Moss has long been a Saint Laurent girlie, stepping out onto the runway for her pal Tom Ford a number of times across the early 00s – who can forget the silky cerulean shirt and inky velvet jeans she slipped into circa his seminal AW95 show, for example? Woof! I, for one, cannot. 

Since then, the legendary supermodel has cosied up to Hedi Slimane during his stint heading up Yves’ storied house, and become close friends with current creative director Anthony Vaccarello. Makes sense, then, that the designer has tapped Moss up to star in his latest campaign, which dropped mere moments ago.

Captured by Gray Sorrenti, who steps into a role usually occupied by David Sims, Moss is seen stripped back and close to bare-faced, hair swept back casually. Meanwhile, her look comprises a chic, off-the-shoulder ruched dress, finished with a statement teardrop earring. 

The move marks a gear shift for the model, who’s recently been hard at work as the creative director of fashion’s fave fizzy drink – besides a gorj chilled San Pellegrino with a slice of lemon – Diet Coke. In other supermodel-related news, we’re still waiting with bated breath for the upcoming Apple+ doc featuring Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, and Christy Turlington to drop. That’s coming on September 20 – right in the thick of fashion season.
