Story
“It is interesting to find that within a fashion portfolio from Rankin, nudity and skin are perhaps the prevailing theme. Kate Moss, stripped down to suspenders, puts the fashion industry into focus. With Kate it was her personality that defined the era, it was her body which was lusted after and sold - not the clothes.”
- Ellen Stone, ‘The Dazed Decades: Rankin 1990-2016’, Rankin Publishing, 2023
Photographed by Rankin in 1999, this image of Kate Moss comes from the cover shoot, Viva la Revolution, from Dazed & Confused, Issue 51. An iconic series of images, this photoshoot was at the height of Kate Moss' fame as the face of fashion's "Cool Britannia" and was published alongside one of the only print interviews with Kate Moss of the era.

Rankin
As a photographer Rankin's portfolio ranges from portraiture to documentary. He has shot The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Kate Moss, Kendall Jenner and The Queen to name only a few.
He is best known for work that is on the cultural cusp and leading future trends: producing rule-breaking campaigns for brands such as Rolls Royce, Unilever, L’Oreal and Samsonite; creating wide reaching projects for charities including Women’s Aid and Macmillan; and shooting music videos for the likes of Miley Cyrus, Rita Ora and Kelis.
As a publisher, Rankin co-founded the seminal magazine Dazed & Confused with Jefferson Hack in 1991, and has since published the likes of AnOther and AnOther Man, alongside over 40 books and the biannual fashion and culture print and digital platform, Hunger.
His photography has been published everywhere from his own publications to Elle, Vogue, Esquire, GQ, Rolling Stone, and Wonderland, and exhibited in galleries globally, including MoMA, New York, and the Victoria & Albert Museum, London.
Rankin lives in London with his wife Tuuli and their dogs.
