Rare images of Kate Moss and Cameron Diaz from the early ’90s captured by photographer Michel Haddi will go on display on the image-focused art fair Photo London, which runs from Wednesday to Sunday.
Represented by the Milan-based 29 Arts In Progress gallery, Haddi shot Moss for British GQ in 1991, and Diaz for Vogue Homme Magazine in 1993. Polaroids were taken by Haddi during these shoots, and he stumbled across them while clearing out his storage.
Within the image, Moss gazes into the camera before appearing to writhe on a dark velvet sofa, while Diaz wears a Our P—ys Our Alternative T-shirt and holds an empty water bottle.
Haddi, who has shot for a big selection of publications over the many years, said he first met Moss through stylist Kim Bowen, a mutual friend, and he later shot Moss for a Bloomingdale’s campaign.
“When I believe of Kate, I believe of the little mermaid of Copenhagen. That was my idea behind this shot,” Haddi expained.
With regard to his experinece of working with Diaz, Haddi recalled, “She had that T-shirt on and I assumed it was so amusing. You’ve to know it’s way, way back before the #MeToo movement, when women didn’t speak that much. So to have an important and attractive lady showing that T-shirt off, was like OMG.”
Also on display on the booth are images of Uma Thurman, Linda Evangelista, Veruschka Von Lehndorff, and Marisa Berenson captured by Haddi, alongside works of Rankin/Gian Paolo Barbieri and Toni Meneguzzo.
There will even be a book signing for “Kate Moss — The Legend Book of Lost Polaroids of Kate” by Michel Haddi on Saturday on the fair inside Somerset House.
