Kate Moss became an inspiration for the latest work of British sculptor Mark Quinn, the man behind the controversial armless pregnant statue in London's Trafalgar Square.

The sculpture of Kate Moss, titled Sphinx, depicts the model in a spine-scrunching yoga pose, with legs tucked behind ears.

 

"She is a contemporary version of the Sphinx. A mystery," says Quinn of his model.

"There must be something about her that has clicked with the collective unconscious to make her so ubiquitous, so spirit of the age."

Kate Moss has become a "supermodel" in her own right. She remains unrivalled as the world's most famous and followed (in terms of fashion and gossip) model.

Kate Moss' current contracts include: Rimmel, Virgin Mobile, Dior, Roberto Cavalli, Longchamp, Stella McCartney, Bvlgari, and David Yurman.

She is rumoured to return to fashion houses Burberry and possibly even Chanel, both of which had previously severed ties with the model.
