British models Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell both feature in Interview Russia and Interview Germany's latest issues. Photographed in black & white, both legendary models pose nude for the intimate photos. Accompanying the editorial (which was shot by Mert & Marcus), Kate interviews Naomi on her life as a model, her experiences, etc. Below is a snippet:
KATE: I read that you made your first public appearance in a Bob Marley video.
NAOMI: Yeah. I was 7, I think. He was such a
handsome man. I remember I started crying when I saw his dreadlocks
because I thought they were worms. But he was really, really gentle.
KATE (on ethnic prejudice in the modeling world):
When I first got to New York, I was like: “What are they talking
about?”. I couldn’t tell, you know. It was really weird and also I think
growing up in South London, it’s so mixed race.
NAOMI: Exactly, we just know our area and how we were raised, so it was a big eye opener to me.
KATE: Did it feel like a battle you were fighting? And are you still fighting for equality in fashion?
NAOMI: It felt… I can’t say that the word battle is
the right word but it definitely felt like it was an uphill struggle for
something. I felt like I had to do what I had to do for my race and to
keep awareness out there.
