Several iconic, early photos of supermodel Kate Moss will go on exhibit this week in London as part of a retrospective on the work of fashion photographer Corinne Day, who died from a brain tumor last year.
In 1991, Day famously photographed Moss, who was then 16, for two fashion spreads in The Face. They are some of the first known professional images of the model.
The month-long exhibit, at Gimpel Fils gallery in London, coincides with Fashion Week.
In addition to the show, the gallery is collaborating on a book of Day's photos called Heaven is Real, and UK auction house Bonhams is planning a sale of one of Day's photos of Moss from 1991.
It's expected to go for between $1,620 and $2,430.
Gimpel Fils has been kind enough to provide us with some images from the show:
Corinne Day, "Heaven is Real" fashion editorial first published in "The Face," February 1991
Corinne Day, "England's Dreaming" fashion editorial first published in "The Face," August 1993
Corinne Day, “Borneo” fashion editorial first published in "The Face," August 1991
And this is the photograph Bonhams is selling in a November auction, from Corinne Day's "Heaven is Real" fashion editorial in The Face, February 1991.
