"One of the most enduring images of the olfactory narrative is Kate Moss for Calvin Klein’s Obsession, lensed by her then-boyfriend, Mario Sorrenti. Baby Mossy, in all her sylphlike, doe-eyed, elfin glory, fronted the campaign near-naked (full, in one shot) – with only towel-dried tresses and a bare face. It was quintessential ‘90s minimalism; pared-back, youthful, irreverent – with images of a topless and bare-bottomed young Moss catapulting not only the Calvin scent to fragrance folklore – but Moss herself."

ARTIST BIO
Fashion photographer Mario Sorrenti is best known for his serenely sensual nude portraits. Sorrenti first rose to prominence in 1993, shooting an iconic campaign for Calvin Klein that featured the model (and his then-girlfriend) Kate Moss. Sorrenti's images have since appeared in magazines such as Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. Sorrenti is interested in the immediacy and simplicity of the nude. “I focus on and tune into whatever it may be that seems to be quite powerful in that person at the moment,” he has said. “The essential part of who they are as a person, that's what I focus on.”
