In July 1993, iconic supermodel Kate Moss was photographed by Ellen von Unwerth during a Vogue US shoot titled 'Beauty and the Beach' in Miami.

These images were captured on type 100 peel-apart Polaroid film, a medium commonly used by photographers to preview how a full photoshoot might unfold.

Von Unwerth described one particular Polaroid as a spontaneous moment over coffee, emphasizing the intimate quality and closeness the format provides.Years later, these Polaroids were showcased in the 2022 'Ultimate Ellen von Unwerth' exhibitions held in London and Paris.

The collection garnered attention at auction, with individual images fetching prices ranging from £5,000 to £44,000, reflecting both the model's iconic status and the photographer's legendary reputation.

The photographs not only highlight Kate Moss’s early career in the 1990s fashion scene but also provide insight into von Unwerth's distinctive style of capturing candid, personal moments that transcend conventional fashion photography.
