Kate Moss | Mert and Marcus | Vanity Fair December 2012 | The Riddle of Kate Moss

Note | Nudity Kate Moss bares most in 'The Riddle of Kate Moss', lensed by Mert & Marcus for Vanity Fair's December issue.  Jessica Diehl styles the timeless Kate, who tells Vanity Fair contributor James Fox that she regrets doing the 1992 Calvin Klein photo shoot that jettisoned her into fashion fame.

“I had a nervous breakdown when I was 17 or 18, when I had to go and work with Marky Mark and Herb Ritts,” she says. “It didn’t feel like me at all. I felt really bad about straddling this buff guy. I didn’t like it. I couldn’t get out of bed for two weeks. I thought I was going to die. I went to the doctor, and he said, ‘I’ll give you some Valium,’ and Francesca Sorrenti, thank God, said, ‘You’re not taking that.’ It was just anxiety. Nobody takes care of you mentally. There’s a massive pressure to do what you have to do. I was really little, and I was going to work with Steven Meisel. It was just really weird—a stretch limo coming to pick you up from work. I didn’t like it. But it was work, and I had to do it.”
