Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell Interview Cover December 2012

Supermodel friends Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell have reunited for their first joint cover since the February 2008 issue of Vogue Paris.

Moss and a bare-chested Campbell cover the December 2012 issues of Interview Russia and Interview Germany, photographed in black and white by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. That both the models and the pictures are black and white underscores a portion of their joint interview in the magazine. In an excerpt from it, Moss asks Campbell whether being one of the most visible black models in the world felt "like a battle you were fighting?"

"I can't say that the word battle is the right word but it definitely felt like it was an uphill struggle for something," Campbell says. "I felt like I had to do what I had to do for my race and to keep awareness out there."

Herein, a peek at the images. Warning, some may be unsuitable for work.

>> Aliona Doletskaya, who resigned from editing Vogue Russia last year (and was once rumored to be in the running for Anna Wintour's position), has a new gig. She has teamed with Vladislav Doronin (Naomi Campbell's billionaire boyfriend) and Bernard Runge, CEO of Phillips de Pury & Company, to launch Russian and German editions of Interview magazine.

Doletskaya will edit both of the magazines (Interview Russia hits newsstands at the end of the year, followed by Interview Germany in early 2012), and Jo-Ann Furniss, who resigned as editor of Arena Homme Plus earlier this year, will act as international fashion director.

In a press release, Doletskaya said she was excited to work on magazines for two different countries: “Moscow and Berlin are cultural capitals of the modern world. The progressive, open-minded communities in those cities are booming. They have the drive and desire to grow, to discover, to move forward. Interview has always been a creative platform for talented individuals unafraid to break taboos and freely express their artistic vision. Now is the time to do so on this side of the ocean.”
