Kate Moss’ Paris exhibition is delayed
Daily News | Emily O'Brien | September 4, 2009
An exhibition devoted to Kate Moss at Le Musèe des Artes Decoratifs in Paris which was due to open in November this year has been delayed due to a lack of funding.
The exhibition, which was set to showcase the supermodels iconic status through a series of Moss photographs from the past 20 years, has now been put on hold until 2011.
According to NY magazine, the museum normally funds smaller exhibitions itself, but it relies on private funding for major, large-scale exhibitions, and unfortunately for Ms. Moss, no one seems keen on parting with their pounds.
Seeing as Kate is organising the exhibit with the museum – the first of its kind in France – you’d think Topshop boss Sir Phillip Green would lend a hand, or, dare we say it, that the supermodel might dip her hand into her own stylish pocket.
Well, it seems nothing is recession-proof.

I don’t know if Kate Moss is a charitable enough model to pay for an exhibition covering her. She may bee kind enough to lend or donate clothing (or maybe she hasn’t), but to have to fund an exhibit about herself seems something that would sound like she’s paying the museum off, even though the plans were in place before she contributed.
Anyhow, considering Kate didn’t get taken off the map when she got in trouble with drugs, she must have so friends that would back the exhibit if they thought it was worthwhile.
