W's Muse

"Kate has been our muse...for the simple reason that there are so many aspects to Kate’s personality. She’s a woman, she’s a child, she’s a tomboy, she’s very sexual, she’s smart, she’s funny, she’s good, she’s bad."- W magazine's Creative Director Dennis Freedman

Some people are quick to place the label of Muse on the current "IT" girl. But others are wise enough to understand that it should only be reserved for amazing individuals whose influence is palpable throughout a specific field. Andy Warhol had Edie Sedgwick. Marc has Sofia Coppala. And Karl Lagerfeld, currently, has too many to name. But those are artists. They're expected to have muses. Very rarely does a magazine admit to a specific person being their muse. But by putting supermold Kate Moss on the cover of the September issue, they have proven that, in fact, Kate reigns supreme:

(Am I the only one who see's a resemblance to Gina Montana?)

So in honor of Kate's 23rd W cover, here are some W magazine covers w/ marvelous Moss.

This is hands down my favorite (November 2005):

With Daria (on left) and Lara Stone (on right)

And these are just 9 out of 23 covers. Gotta love her.

P.S. She's actually also on the cover of Russian Vogue's September issue:

I think she answers the age old debate on whether fashion magazines should have models or actress on their covers. Models FTW!
