Purple Fall 2008: Kate Moss & Mario Sorrenti

The covers just keep on coming for Kate Moss at the moment, including this latest stint for Purple Fashion magazine,a bi-annually magazine, both photographed by and starring Mario Sorrenti. I am sure you will agree with me when I say that this shot of Sorrenti butt-naked, down on his knees clinging to Kate is both powerful and utterly intriguing, especially considering their history.

As Kate recently told Interview magazine: "I suppose when you're young a lot happens. I only went out with Mario [Sorrenti] for a year and a half, and so much happened, it felt like forever."
Meanwhile, I am loving her in this super-short, zipped Balmain dress... if only we could see the expression on her face!
