“There were a lot of times in the 90s,” Kate Moss said to Vogue last week, “when I was young, free, single, no responsibilities apart from getting to work … other than that, the world was my oyster.” The model was reflecting on turning 50, as she did on Tuesday, celebrating in Paris with her daughter, Lila, and 35 friends.
One of the smartest decisions Moss ever made was that she would almost always never give interviews, and that remark to Vogue was no exception; even though there are words, what is she actually saying? That the world is no longer her oyster? That she is no longer young, free or single (she has been going out with Nikolai von Bismarck since she was 41)? Or something else, something more “no regrets” – the 90s were then and this is now, and the preciousness of the past is that it can’t be relived?
