Kate Moss lifts her man ban for Esquire Supermodel Kate Moss graces the September cover of British Esquire, her first men's magazine cover for 17 years. It's hard to believe that Kate Moss hasn't fronted a men's magazine for 17 years. So often do we see her adorning the front pages of glossy publications, we'd overlooked the fact that for almost two decades, she's stripped off or dressed up purely for the females of the species (although we're sure she's won more than a few glances from passing men on the newsagent's shelf). But finally, thanks to the British edition of men's style publication Esquire , the nation's men can safely ogle her bejewelled bits under the guise of quality journalism. The Croydon-born model was persuaded to pose for the 'Made in Britain' themed issue by editor Alex Bilmes, who called in her longtime friends, photographer Craig McDean and stylist Katy England, to give her that extra push.

She's also a uniquely British figure, and one who for too long has been monopolised by women's fashion magazines. So I am thrilled that we've persuaded her to front our special issue dedicated to this country's most stylish people and products. I really can't imagine anyone better suited to the job. The full shoot and accompanying feature appears in Esquire's September 'Made In Britain' issue, on sale Wednesday, July 31. Also available as a digital edition.
