The world is hardly short of pictures of Kate Moss. But for some people, seeing her on billboards or in magazine shoots is obviously not enough.

Today an original print of a nude shot of her taken in her early days of modelling - and said to be one of her personal favourites - sold for £16,250 at auction.







The 57in by 45in black and white image was taken in Marrakech, Morocco, by fashion photographer Albert Watson on a shoot for the German edition of Vogue  in January 1993.


‘I still think these are among the best pictures ever taken of her and she said so as well recently,’ Watson has said.

The iconic shot shows Croydon-born Miss Moss, then in her late teens, kneeling on a roof-top, with a crooked leg covering her modesty, and encapsulates the  controversial ‘waif’ look which helped cement her fame.
