It’s safe to say that Kate Moss is the most recognizable model of all time!
As much as we didn’t mean to sound like Kanye right there, Kate has been doing this whole modeling thing for longer than most people hold onto their normal 9 to 5’s, and it obviously started somewhere.
One of Kate’s earliest photoshoots also happened to be her most controversial. At the age of 16, Kate posed for fashion photographer Kate Garner in nothing more than her underwear, a pair of ill-fitting high heels and a teddy bear.
“Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil, See No Evil” is comprised of 20 unique canvas 57 x 52in. works with the use of diamond dust, screen printing, paint, glitter and glazing.
When making the project, Kate Garner considered a lot of different inspiration.
“I considered the old maxim, the one where the monkeys avoid evil by blocking their senses, hear none, seeing none, speaking none. I realized that this meaning could also work in reverse. The conventional manner of dealing with what is perceived as evil or threatening to the status quo is to shut it out. Perhaps a more modern approach is to not recognize evil as evil but rather as a part of a great choreography of cause and effect….”
