What did Kate Moss look like before she was famous? Photographer David Ross's portraits of the supermodel at age 14 reveal her as a fresh-faced girl on the cusp of a major career.
"Kate was a cool character," said Ross of the photos he took in October 1988, which will be be sold through Bloomsbury Auctions on Nov. 23. "She seemed like a tough or resilient typical teenager, comfortably fronting me up, perhaps covering up her nerves. I suppose what was refreshing was that she was honest. She wasn't trying to prove anything or act above her station. She didn't try to adopt a model attitude of self-absorption and superiority, which at the time was becoming public via media sensation. She was untarnished. A blank canvas, as other writers have put it."
Each of the three pictures are expected to reach up to £1,200, just over $1,905, at current exchange. Take a peek at them here.
I don't know about you but I have definitely been there before! I actually still have silly things I've bought on eBay sitting unused in closets around my house. My solution, though, wasn't so much to pick a price and stick to it but to steer clear of eBay altogether. How about you? Have you fallen prey to the rush of eBay bidding?
