Kate on a Board

Kate Moss is back in circulation. The Playboy appearance made headlines, but really she’s always been this constant in culture - the style icon who’s also a beautiful disaster, someone who makes her own chaos look intentional. Nick Thomm made a skateboard deck with her face on it, which is the right idea before you even see the thing.

Skate culture and fashion have always been cousins. Both are about refusal, about looking like you don’t care while obviously caring. Kate Moss lives in that space. She’s the proof that the distinction between high fashion and street culture was never real anyway.

Owning an object like that isn’t about the deck itself. It’s about carrying someone who refused the approved version of herself. That’s been my gravitational pull forever - people and images that suggest you could exist on different terms.

When something clicks, it clicks. The reference is right, the person is right, the execution works. This is one of those things.
