Supermodel Kate Moss appears in a new Versace campaign shot by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott.

Shot in London in March this year, a chestnut-haired Kate Moss stripped off for the famous Italian luxury brand in a new campaign for the Versace Fall-Winter 2013 collection.

Stylist Melanie Ward evidently decided that less was more, using three Versace leather handbags in red, black and yellow to cover the 39-year-old model up in one shot, while Kate appears in nothing but a bright animal print fur in another image.

Donatella Versace said she wanted the photos “stripped back to the raw power of the clothes and models”. She added: “There’s no set, no distraction, just the provocation, glamour and attitude of our fashion. Mert & Marcus genius transformed Kate and Saskia into these strong Versace characters.”

Dutch model and artist Saskia de Brauw also stars in the women’s campaign, while David Bradshaw styled models Travis Smith, Dominik Bauer and Matt Trethe for the menswear images.
