Beauty Quote by Alexa Chung
““At this point trillions of pictures have been taken of Kate Moss in an effort to capture her beauty, style and essence. Yet our appetite for more, more, more rages on unabated. She's paid very well to sell us things that we might previously have had no interest in buying. That's because anything she puts near her body is instantly transformed into the coolest thing ever, because She is the coolest thing ever and nobody can explain why. It's just a fact.””

The claim that her presence alone makes anything 'cool' overlooks the role of design, quality, and cultural relevance in product appeal.
![“I know somewhat about Kate [Moss who featured in the Vogue spread]. I always thought that Kate's look had come from my old friend Siobhan Liddell and some of her friends because they dressed like that about ten years ago. Unconsciously, and right after that, that whole look sort of came out.” quote by Nan Goldin](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/46c/nan-goldin-6289_kate_i-know-somewhat-about-kate-moss-who-feat_349473.jpg)
![“I would say probably Paris [Hilton]. Because to me that's her in character and she kind was always sort of winking at the camera. There was satire I think involved in what she was doing. I like to think there was.” quote by Alexa Chung](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/218/alexa-chung-4049_cameras_i-would-say-probably-paris-hilton-becaus_70085.jpg)
