What a difference a year--and a mea culpa...and a stint in rehab...and lack of criminal charges--can make.
Nine months after Burberry unceremoniously dumped Kate Moss from its autumn campaign following her cocaine scandal, the luxury purveyor and the supermodel are making nice.
The 32-year-old Moss is featured in Burberry's fall-winter 2006-07 promotion, appearing in a stark black and white print ad dressed in a white lace trench coat and posing alongside fellow catwalkers Stella Tenant and Otis and Issac Ferry on a rooftop overlooking the London skyline.
The spots, shot by renowned photographer Mario Testino, are one in a series unveiled Monday in honor of the fashion house's 150th anniversary. The ads also feature a number of British notables, including Max Irons, son of Oscar winner Jeremy Irons, and 1960s model Penelope Tree.
The reunion is a notable about-face for Burberry after it publicly distanced itself from the beauty following photos in London's Daily Mirror of her purportedly snorting cocaine in the recording studio of then boyfriend Pete Doherty, the bad boy frontman for U.K. rock group, Babyshambles.
H&M, Chanel and Gloria Vanderbilt also severed ties with the fashion maven as British police pledged to investigate the allegations.
With her career disintegrating and the prospect of criminal charges looming, Moss subsequently issued a statement taking full responsibility for her actions and indicating she was working to address her problems, although she did not explicitly acknowledge drug use. She checked herself into a detox center in Arizona for a monthlong stay, then set about rehabbing her tarnished image.
Since then, the runway star has been strutting the comeback trail quite nicely, striking poses for Robert Cavalli, Nikon, Calvin Klein, Virgin Mobile and Longchamp. She has also appeared on the covers of French Vogue and Vanity Fair and has inked a deal to write a memoir.
And two weeks ago, Moss was able to definitely put the bad memories behind her when British prosecutors announced they would not pursue drug charges against her, citing lack of "forensic evidence and direct eyewitness evidence."
