Corinne Day

Who made Kate? Corinne Day, a british photographer, probably influenced the career of the icon most. It was she who in the 90's shot the first published fashionspread with at the time 15 year old Kate, for the british magazine The Face. They lived and worked together for three years. "Corinne's pictures, you might say, made Kate, and Kate made Corinne's reputation."
Kate's sincere expression, no make up, a mix of designer and second hand clothes made these pictures more of an anti-fashion style. A style that took hold in fashion, music and design for several years of the 90's : artlessness became art - I may call it "grunge".


Corinne Day passed away this year, August 27th, 14 years after being diagnosed with a brain tumor.
