My first Kate cover – turn over to find my other favourites . . .

-

March 1993

THIS was Kate’s first Vogue cover. It was groundbrea­king, because she looked so natural and naive, unlike the more polished supermodel­s such as Linda Evangelist­a and Cindy Crawford who had dominated previous issues.

It was part of the whole

Grunge fashion movement, and I commission­ed her friend, Corinne Day, part of an exciting new wave of young British photograph­ers, to shoot it.

Inside the magazine we also ran a fashion story, shot on a football pitch, featuring Kate and a gang of the new British waif models, including

Rosemary Ferguson and Emma Balfour. It was the dawn of a new era when London became one of the major fashion capitals.

Ironically, the top Kate is wearing was Chanel, which was a big advertiser in the magazine, unlike the many smaller British labels that were part of the movement.
