Kate Moss AND Pete Doherty for Roberto Cavalli.
Kate Moss has always been loyally supported by designer Roberto Cavalli - he was the first to hire her for a campaign after her cocaine scandal hit the front of the tabloid press. Now it seems Cavalli’s hand of friendship extends to Kate’s love life, as a heavily made up Pete becomes a fashion model himself for the designer’s autumn/winter collection.
Moments after a rake thin and ageing Kate Moss appeared at Glastonbury festival singing along to her boyfriend’s band, Babyshambles, on stage, she showed she is still the top model around with a polished, sensual Egyptian-themed photo shoot.
She, 33, appears driving and lying atop a Jeep in silk animal prints and adorned Cleopatra dress. As the Sahara queen for Cavalli’s womenswear collection she is noticeably free of the wrinkles and gaunt complexion we have been used to seeing while the model is off duty.
Pete Doherty meanwhile is pictured as a young Marlon Brando. He is rumoured to be receiving a six-figure sum with Moss for two promotional campaigns for the Italian fashion tycoon.
His heavy eye-makeup, moody lighting and expensive threads show the man we are used to seeing drugged up, sweating and spotty, can actually scrub up rather well. A spot of retouching has transformed the pair into a respectable glamour couple.
They were both shot separately by Mert Alum and Marcus Piggott in Ibiza. “Kate Moss and Pete Doherty perfectly embody everything that’s contemporary and they’re poetic, creative and wild,” said Cavalli.
“They go against mainstream and have an innate and fantastic sense of style.”
“For his extreme lifestyle, at first Pete seems like a very bad role model, but his debauchery does not interest me at all,” added Cavalli.
“Behind his damned appearances, Pete is an exceptionally talented man: a true rocker, pure and not keen on compromises.”

why the frack are they glorifying this junkie?! Paid 6 figures? and comparing him to a young Brando? You’ve got to be kidding They definitely got served! And anyone who’s seen recent candids of Kate knows her “looks” are the work of a talented graphic artist.
