She doesn't mix silver and gold, she doesn't do selfies and she's a grammar snob. Kate Moss illuminates the Guardian's fashion editor over lunch at the Ivy Club in London
So I had lunch with Kate Moss today, as you do. This is what I learned:
1. She is on Instagram, though you may have trouble finding her (which is how she likes it). "I have about 10 followers and six of them
are children."
2. She prefers to speak rather than text, because she is "a grammar snob. Capital letters, commas – everything has to be perfect, I can't
stand it otherwise. So it takes too long so I just call instead."
3. She doesn't take selfies. Busman's holiday, I guess?
4. She was wearing Prada: a black zip-front sundress.
5. She doesn't miss a trick. After lunch, she pulled me up on having
"Bitchy Resting Face".
6. Her new Carphone Warehouse range includes a black mock-croc iPhone cover, and a zip-up iPad cover with tiny anchor motifs, modelled on her wrist tattoo, on the lining. "I wanted to do something that was feminine, not tacky and plastic," she says.
7. The one you will see everywhere is the black-and-silver zigzag design phone cover. It is very Aladdin Sane.
8. She changes phone accessories to match her clothes – eg, a dress with a silver zip means a black-and-silver phone case, not black and gold, because: "I am a bit OCD about not mixing silver and gold."
9. At the lunch, for 28 people at the Ivy Club – a mix of journalists, Carphone Warehouse executives and the Mossy posse – Kate ate a shellfish cocktail starter and rib of beef main course, with white wine. She
did not partake of the peach pavlova dessert.
10. Kate's favourite app is Dumb Ways to Die. "You will so regret you asked me that. It is totally addictive."
