About Quote by Mario Testino
“When I see Kate Moss out and about, I think she looks more beautiful than when her hairdresser and make-up artist try and make her look like something else. And I remember when Madonna first asked Versace to book me to shoot a campaign with her, she came to see me wearing hardly any make-up, and she looked incredible.”

![“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)
