“Kate Moss Unveils Shocking School Trauma: The Dark Secret Behind Her Iconic Topless Photoshoot at Just 15”
“I was 15 and topless in a magazine, and I was still at school,” she said on Bella Freud’s Fashion Neurosis podcast.
“They took the p–s out of my brother, like, ‘Your sister’s got her t–s out.’ I think he probably suffered more than I did about it,” she added.

The fashion queen, who retired from the runway in 2004, said she never wanted to be pictured topless but was told she wouldn’t get bookings otherwise.
“At a very young age, I started doing pictures topless, and I was very conscious that I have a mole on my right t**, and I hated it so much I would cry,” she said on the podcast.
“I never wanted to be topless. I would cry, and I had to get over it because the photographer was, like, ‘If you don’t do this, I’m not going to book you for the next job,’ so I had to get over it,” she continued.
“Your body’s not really your own when you’re a vessel for somebody else’s imagination,” she added.

She spoke about the photoshoot for The Face and recalled the pictures being taken by the late photographer Corinne Day.
“At the time, it was me, Corinne, Drew Jarett, the hairdresser, and Dick Page, the make-up artist. So I would make Drew turn around because he was straight and I was, like, ‘I’m not having him look at me.’ I was really shy,” she recalled.
