British supermodel Kate Moss wants the Olympic Games to be held in her native country. The beauty has joined her fashion friends Paul Smith, Mario Testino and Sam Taylor-Wood in their new project 40 Artists, 40 Days, to raise awareness of the attempt of the United Kingdom to host the XXX Olympic Games.
Paris, New York, Moscow, Madrid and London are vying, making bids, to host the 2012 Olympic Games, and in early July the results will be announced. Britain will be counting down 40 days till July 5, the day the International Olympic Committee will choose a city to host the Games. Until that time, photos of Kate Moss, made by fashion photographer Mario Testino, will be dispayed on Tate Online, www.tate.org.uk/40artists40days, alongside with other original videos, music, texts, performances and visual art.
Moss will be photographed by Testino for the project which will tout some of the city’s unique selling points, including Paul Smith’s London logo and boxing prodigy Amir Khan photographed by Taylor-Wood.
"The vision for 2012 is that sport and the arts will come together in London for the biggest celebration this city has ever known," said Tate Online director Sir Nicholas Serota, according to British Vogue.
Meantime Moss' boyfriend Pete Doherty dreams to marry the supermodel the next weekend. The Babyshamble’s frontman says:
"We're driving through Gretna Green next weekend, so who knows? I might be able to persuade her,” femalefirst.co.uk cited the singer.
"Kate's been there for me. She's my rock. Not my rock of crack though."
