Kate Moss + Miuccia Prada: How to build a summer wardrobe inspired by the duo’s best 1990s runway looks
Is it weird that fashion editors can typically chart significant life events according to Prada runway collections? That breakups, house moves, career highs and trials are (at the time unknowingly) indexed according to Miuccia Prada’s most memorable catwalk unveilings? Just as a summer heat wave will tag our recollections, making them that bit easier to redeem from the blur, the calendar of international fashion shows—which, pre-COVID-19, came and went with the fixity of family birthdays—delivered the Prada-ness.
“The one thing you can’t really define is what it is, but you feel it. It exists. It’s present. It’s clearly there,” Raf Simons said of the Prada-ness in the wake of the spring/summer 2021 collection, which would be his first as co-creative director.
What about those high-definition memories that were forged as the fabric of our own lives draped over what we saw on the runway? Bouquets of banana prints (SS11), 1950s silhouettes made over with seductive hot-rod motifs (SS12), leather gladiator dresses (AW09) and cardigans that were like cotton candy to the touch (AW17)—pieces that were destined to become the subject of Vogue office conversations and worth blowing a whole pay cheque on. These are clothes that you will always revisit to find them as enchanting as they were the first time around, as though a page in a diary that you can zip yourself into.
With Miuccia Prada’s 72nd birthday approaching, I caught myself scrolling back to the 1990s and scanning the front row for familiar faces. On the runway, Prada’s supermodel gang—among them a young Stella Tennant, Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista and Kate Moss—served the clean-lined simplicity of the new-decade look. There’s something to Moss’s appearances, in particular, that feels very now.
It’s not just that the clothes haven’t aged, but that they are as desirable today as they would have been 25 years ago. In Prada-ness vernacular, the hallmarks of everlasting summer style are present, they’re clearly there. The LBD that you could pull on for a city lunch or over a bikini; the sheer day dress that works just as well over jeans and flip flops as it does with a pair of vertiginous platforms and tiny shoulder bag. Then there’s the crisp cotton co-ords—an outfit that’s so 2021 it probably already has its own TikTok account.
Kate Moss Is Getting Into the NFT Game

Well, it’s happening: NFTs have breached the fashion scene. On Friday, Kate Moss announced that she’d partnered with @MITNFT to mint three different videos of herself as non-fungible tokens, putting their ownership up for auction on a platform called Foundation.
Maybe she read our handy, fashion-friendly explainer. (If nothing in the previous paragraph made any sense to you, maybe you should too.) Or, maybe she’s just gotten really into tech during the pandemic.
“NFTs are interesting to me because it’s a new medium for art that I can participate in directly and be in control of my image,” the supermodel wrote in a statement. At the moment, digital artists are the ones making headlines for their NFTs. But it makes sense that models and creatives like Moss would be intrigued by the idea of digital image ownership as well. As Emily Ratajkowski expressed in her essay “Buying Myself Back,” models often have limited control over their own likeness. By minting videos of herself as NFTs, Moss can basically create a certificate of authenticity verifying the original. She can also write terms and conditions into the NFT, which could allow her to profit off of, or have some control over, subsequent resales.
Moss’s first foray into NFTs involves a triptych of three different videos that capture intimate moments with the supermodel at home. There’s “Drive with Kate,” “Walk with Kate,” and “Sleep with Kate.” Each will be sold as an edition of one and will be accompanied by a unique audio certification acknowledging the buyer(s), recorded by Moss herself. As an added bonus, the buyer(s) will also be recognized in a social post on @KateMossAgency as the owner of a “Kate Moss Moment in Time.”
In case you’re interested, the auction will go live Tuesday at 9 a.m. ET for 24 hours. Part of the proceeds from the sale will go to fellow model Adwoa Aboah’s mental-health advocacy organization Gurls Talk, which provides resources and a safe space for women and girls, imparting mental-health support.
Is this just the beginning of models minting images of themselves as NFTs? Only time will tell. “Time is the thing that there is never enough of and that waits for no-one,” Moss added in her statement. “I’m intrigued by who will want to own a moment of mine.”
