Certain things will always be synonymous with Glastonbury, chief among them: Kate Moss. The British super has made a career of wearing couture for more than 30 years now, but to some, Kate is never more Kate than she is in her Hunters, making her way from the VIP to the Pyramid stage with (once upon a time) a cig and a paper cup in tow.
The supermodel single-handedly invented festival fashion in the Noughties (it’s not a coincidence that Hunter opened a store in New York the year after she first wore a pair at Glasto), breezing her way backstage in an effortless wardrobe of distressed tees, shearling gilets and pirate boots, her face obscured by aviator shades or that artfully dishevelled mane of dirty blonde hair.
From cut-offs to waistcoats to scarf belts to sequins, where Moss went, every other music fan followed, and she’s the reason ticket-holders now curate their festival wardrobes with the same care once reserved for a two-week holiday.
Were the seeds of the world’s enduring obsession with Kate’s style sown on Worthy Farm? The throwback snaps suggest as much.
