Kate Moss Covers Vogue, But Isn't Inside

Hypermodel Kate Moss is on the cover of British Vogue for December… but she is nowhere else to be found in the magazine. Not a blip.

Will nabbing Kate Moss for the cover photo only increase sales at the magazine counter? If buyers expect to see more of Kate Moss and don’t, is it possible to get a refund? This may be the last glimmer of a quickly fading supernova.

The photo of Kate Moss is by Nick Knight with the caption “Fashion and Fantasy, Kate Moss in Dior Couture.” Kate Moss was featured in a photo spread in the December 2007 issue of Vogue, but not on the cover. Perhaps this is a make up, but it’s not like she needs the cover exposure. She has been featured on the cover of British Vogue 24 times before.
