Corinne Day

I just read in Vogue UK and on Love's blog about Corinne Day and her struggles with a brain tumour over the last 10 years...I am So sorry to hear about this.

She is an Icon already in this world called Fashion Photography, and she is only in her early forties..! She basically Made Kate Moss. She is such a source of inspiration.

From Vogue UK:

"The procedure, which costs in the region of £100,000, will be carried out in a specialist treatment centre in Arizona - if Day can raise the money needed to pay for it. With that in mind the photographer agreed to sell a series of 300 prints of an unpublished picture of Kate Moss, taken in 1993, for £100 each.

Following the success of that image - which sold out in three hours and raised £30,000 - Day has consented to release other limited-edition Moss images each month until Christmas, with a view to raising the required funds. The next image of Moss, available now, was taken in 2001 for Dutch magazine and shows the supermodel naked on a bed."

For the ones of you who can help out: To purchase one of the prints contact emily@premiermodelmanagement.com.
