AGE OF QUARREL Kate

The party-ravaged Kate Moss you know from those paparazzi snaps, Vogue insists, is only half the story. Moss, the magazine’s August cover girl, sat down for a fawning interview with writer Plum Sykes in London, and talked business: her perfume, her clothing line for Topshop, and her gazillions of dollars.

Moss, it’s been said, rarely does interviews, but she had little to fear from Sykes, who describes the 34-year-old model as “kittenish,” “cheeky,” with just a few “tiny creases” around her eyes before going on to laud her fashion designs as “extraordinarily desirable.” Still, a few interesting details do manage to slip through.
