Response to rosieh2, 1 November 2012 5:59PMI'm sorry but that's crap. She has said herself that she was uncomfortable with it, and as I have said, there is no need to start models off in their careers by pressuring them into nude photography. Your attitude is vile.
Many people are uncomfortable at different times through their private and professional lives. They have the choice to chose whatever it fits their goals and sometimes they go over their feeling for the sake of pursuing a particular career. Most people are uncomfortable doing live dissections for example but some of them endure them, they get used and become doctors or nurses in the end. - Recommend? (0)

Katyia1 November 2012 6:22PMKate Moss has given a rare, in-depth interview to Vanity Fair, in which she looks back on almost 25 years as a model. Her revelations that she felt exploited, panicked and out of her depth as a teenager plunged into the world of high fashion ? together with the fact that pastoral care was basically nil ? are sad and not surprising. You can only hope that today's models are better looked-after. The fact that there is a union for models is a good start, and long overdueand you go on to rubbish that idea later in the 'article' - - -
At a stroke, the pictures redefined the prevailing ideals of beauty. Moss says that she felt self-conscious about the mole on her breast, but the fact that she showed it did us all a favourwhat when she had just turned 16 - - - what is this ?
Suddenly power-dressing, pointy bras and wearing two inches of slap were out, while wonky teeth, greasy hair and generally looking normal were indon't give me all that - - - there is no justification for making a young girl strip off - - -
Moss had no way of knowing ? especially at such a young age ? that the pictures she was making would turn out to be revolutionary, but it would be a shame if she was unable to feel some good about the impact they causedI doubt whether this post will be put up but its going on my blog anyway - - - this article is written by a paedophile - - -
For many models, taking your clothes off is part of the jobOH GREAT SO WHATS THE NEW UNION FOR THEN TO COVER IT UP A BIT MORE - - -
particularly if they had to take their clothes off, a frequent occurrence in her pictures ? should feel an active, looked-after part of the creative process rather than its passive subjectobviously Alex Needham has been abused himself and I am sorry about that - - - but taking it out on young girls by making them strip off is not the way to go about your healing process Alex - - - look a woman that is enthusiastic about her sexuality is not asking to be stripped orlright - - -
But here goes: this wasn't any old topless shoot, but one which changed the course of fashion historythis is kind of reminding me of the Polanski scenario - - - his crime gave him a little je ne sais quoi and I personally would not touch any work that had passed through his hands - - -
No one should be coerced into doing something they don't want to, but without nude models, art history as we know it wouldn't existYOU WHAAAAATTT - - - SHE WAS SIXTEEN FOR FUCKS SAKE

Irrelevant. It was exploitation.
If you felt you'd been horribly exploited by someone would you remain their lifelong friend? - Recommend? (0)
