'In 1993 I photographed Kate Moss in her own flat for British Vogue. In the context of a fashion magazine the images appeared to have a documentary feel about them and when published, caused a certain frisson of discomfort. It was said at the time that the shock these photographs caused was like that of a cider-obliterated punk wandering into a coming-out ball.' -- Corinne Day (Quoted in Bright, Face of Fashion, p.75.)
