Regina Arriola’s Travel Diary: Kate Moss Exhibition At La Galerie de L’Instant in Paris
Kate Moss has been one of the world’s top models for over 20 years, and is responsible for introducing an unconventional image of a model into the fashion industry. This image, although credited for the rise of several debates about “size zero fashion,” has become a movement in today’s world. At just 5 feet and 6 inches tall, she broke stereotypes and barriers, and created a career that others can only dream of. La Galerie de L’Instant in Paris pays homage to the beauty and intelligence of Kate Moss.
The small and intimate venue in Paris has created an exhibition of her work entitled “Kate Moss Par Les Plus Grands Photographes,” which translates literally to “Kate Moss By The Biggest Photographers.” The exhibition showcases various photographs that have never been seen before. Some of the amazing work displayed are by iconic photographers such as Rankin, Mary McCartney, Arthur Elgort, Patrick Demarchelier, Paolo Roversi, and Corinne Day.
Kate Moss was discovered when she was just 14 years old, at New York’s JFK airport. Within a year, she was featured on the cover of the British magazine The Face. From the moment she began her career, it was apparent to those around her that she was a girl who would make a significant contribution to the fashion industry. The magnitude of her impact, however, was truly understated, as today she stands as one of the most iconic figures in fashion history.
Her series of photographs for Calvin Klein catapulted her into the spotlight, and made her one of the most sought after models in the world. She has been featured on the cover of over 300 magazines, and has worked for virtually every major fashion brand from Chanel to Christian Dior. In addition to her modeling career, Kate Moss also took the role of a designer, when she teamed with Top Shop in 2006.

Today, the word "drape" is practically synonymous with the design aesthetic of Lanvin's designer, Alber Elbaz. However, long before Elbaz there was Alix Gres, the expert in draping who was more commonly known as Madame Gres.
When in search of luxury, there is no better place to find it than at the Plaza Athenee in Paris. This historic hotel opened in 1913 and is located on Avenue Montaigne, the ultimate fashion district in Paris.
Paris is a magical city, where anything seems possible. There is a feeling in Paris that is very different from that in London or Milan. The city is rich in history, and preserves a sense of classic elegance.
Traveling from London to Milan is more than a journey from one country to the next. It is a change of pace, and a change of style.
The Quadrilatero in Milan is a fashion maze that includes high fashion designer shops and decadent caffes. It is also where Il Museo Alla Moda is located, on the street of Sant’Andrea, and is one of Milan’s greatest treasures.
Miami is a city with a reputation primarily based on it's sexy beaches and over the top night life. Likewise, St. Tropez has a reputation of it's own. Before arriving in St. Tropez, I had only heard about how extravagant the town was, but after spending four days there, I came to realize that "extra...
Seven days in London is not nearly enough. London is a cutting edge city that delivers originality and has an astonishing number of places to satisfy the artistic eye.
The final days of my fashion escapade end in the French Riviera. I made my way through Nice, St. Paul De Vence, Cap d'Antibes, Cannes, Monte Carlo, and finally St. Tropez. The latter part of my trip was spent enjoying the Mediterranean sea, and soaking in as much sun and relaxation as possible.
Milan is the kind of city where buildings crowd the narrow streets, markets are on every corner, and a sense of old world authenticity fills the air. Amongst all of this, in the heart of the city, is a historical home-turned-museum called the Villa Necchi. With a tennis court, swimming pool, and gar...
When traveling far from home, most people book reservations at restaurants or spas in advance and adhere to strict itineraries. While a smart way to go, I have found that sometimes the best way to travel through a city is by getting lost in it.
