Kate Moss Gets Naked For LOVE Magazine! Tim Walker Reveals The Inspiration Behind The Saucy Shoot: EXCLUSIVE

Kate Moss has stripped off for the cover of the Spring Summer 'Clean' issue of LOVE Magazine, wearing only hats, stockings and a strategically placed vest. We see a whole lot of the Moss in the editorial shot by fashion photographer Tim Walker - in several images, only a couple of flowers cover her, erm, lady garden.

On the cover, the supermodel is seen soaking in a bubble bath with the strapline 'Kate cleans up' and there's no doubt this is one of her most daring covers yet. She's wearing nothing but a wet vest (very spring break of you, Kate) which is strategically placed to avoid too much Mossy boob on the newstand. But this isn't any vest top - oh no. It's credited as a grey jersey tabard with rubber penis print. As you do. Despite soaking in a bubble bath, Kate still manages to look impossibly glossy with not one smudge on her red-lipsticked-pout.

Tim Walker has dished on the saucy shoot, saying: 'I'd read a book called The Magic Toyshop by Angela Carter which has the most tender description of a young girl discovering her sexuality.' That explains those handwritten passages from the novel then.

'This prompted the idea of telling a story through photographing the female nude from a feminine point of view - which required the subject, Kate, to involve herself totally with the text and relate to the sensitivity through her own imagination and posture, which I think she did really very well,' Tim continues. 'Kate had a part to play for the camera, which is something she excels at.' Err, is there anything she doesn't excel at?

Of course, Ms Moss is one of Tim Walker's favourite models to shoot and you'll remember Grazia Daily chatted to him at the opening of his exhibition about the Croydon beauty. 'I have always been attracted to people that have a beauty that’s not obvious and I think every model I have ever worked with are the survivors and we respect them because they have a beauty that isn’t obvious,' he said at the time. 'Someone like Kate Moss who I adore photographing, I respect her because she was tiny. I think she is the best thing ever. She came onto the scene right after an army of supermodels and you have to admire her longevity. The fact that she has survived and has become the most beautiful model in the world. I think that is incredible. She has stuck with her uniqueness and made it work.'

And now she's working it more than ever. See for yourselves in the gallery above...
