I know somewhat about Kate [Moss who featured in the Vogue spread]. I always thought that Kate's look had come from my old friend Siobhan Liddell and some of her friends because they dressed like that about ten years ago. Unconsciously, and right after that, that whole look sort of came out.

I didn't really look at the outside world during the years I was photographing the Ballad as I was locked inside my house and I lived totally inside.
