British Kate was photographed by nine snappers for nine collectible covers of the magazine, and posed for Chuck Close for the controversial nude pictures inside the title. Close explains, "My daguerreotypes are not flattering - any flaws on one's complexion are exaggerated wildly. And I thought she might be upset, but she said, 'I've had enough pretty pictures made of me.'" W's creative director, Dennis Freeman, justifies the full-frontal nudity by claiming to "give much more credit to our readers than I believe most magazines give to the readers". He adds Moss was the obvious choice for this project, saying, "Kate has been our muse - ours and our photographers - for the simple reason that there are so many aspects to Kate's personality. She's a woman, she's a child, she's a tomboy, she's very sexual, she's smart, she's funny, she's good, she's bad.
