perhaps doesn’t receive the recognition it deserves on our forums. But the title’s latest has our undivided attention. Ezra Petronio hands Kate Moss the reins for issue #55 proving less is more while playing the role of guest editor and posing on a pair of covers. Kate enlisted the expertise of her friends and longtime collaborators Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott for the occasion complete with styling from ex-Vogue Paris editor and firm forum favorite Emmanuelle Alt. In the two black and white cover images, Kate looks effortlessly undone sporting barely-there makeup, natural waves and a simple white T-shirt from Majestic Filatures.
The covers sparked celebration on our forums. “Styled by Emmanuelle Alt. I’m living,” heralded JPineapple.
“Styled by Emmanuelle Alt and I can hear her laughing off all these morons from Condé Nast right now,” said helmutnotdead.

“A wonderful surprise to see Emmanuelle Alt styling for Self Service! This is a total must-have and the two covers give me more than what most Vogue covers have this month,” proclaimed vogue28.
In the same frame of mind was dontbeadrag: “Kate by M&M never goes wrong, ever.”
