Magazine Madness: Kate Moss, allure August 2013

allure August 2013

Kate Moss is reticent, remote and, yes, always intensively relaxed on her fashion campaign shootings. Collaborating with Mario Testino again (yes), Mrs. Hince this time graces rock ‘n’ roll on allure August 2013 covers, indeed surprises me for a quite awhile. Though allure USA provides practical beauty tips and resourceful med-articles all the time, the choices of cover girls have bothering me, let’s say, too many times to purchase my personal copy. Since the cover styles of allure would make a zoom portrait of celebrity/actress/you name it, the elusive and strong face, better with elegant temperament, is the major key for me to spend and keep.

On campaign pages, Kate wearing Marc Jacobs fox fur coat and velvet dress, with a New York-ghetto background, it’s bleak, black and boom! I like allure a lot is, unlike any other female fashion magazine, the cover girl interview would definitely contain double page spread photo album special, so that I can view the process of the metamorphosis of the female I really admire.


Kate seldom takes verbal interviews, but not this time at allure August issue. On styles, she tries to be “a little bit chic”, and she “wouldn’t wear sweatpants nor twinset.” On beauty, she uses Moroccanoil stuff, bit of blusher (bronzer) and eyelash curler. And “always clean hair. That’s a must. If in doubt, wash it.” About her previous scandals on heroin, Pete and Johnny relationship, she suggests: “never complain, never explain.” My favourite tip from this super-tiny model is, on personal look, “You have to make it your own. That’s what fashion is all about.”

How can Moss be so great? Because like Kate says: “I am not just a face.”
