Who needs blood when you’ve got lipstick?

This artsy phrase is written by our dearest fashionista Kate Moss as she self portrayed herself. During her rocky two year relationship with troubled rocker Pete Doherty, Moss created what is thought to be her artistic debut – a self-portrait in lipstick and blood.

The self portrayed piece represents Kate with long flowing hair, smoking a cigarette…Moreover, the creation features supermodel’s lip prints and Pete Doherty’s blood stains on the canvas.

Pete Doherty once (long time ago) sold the piece to an anonymous person who is now selling it at the London auction house Lyon & Turnbull.

The auction is to take place on upcoming Saturday.

The estimated price for the piece is £30,000-£40,000

Other than that, Kate Moss is doing great and the fact that Jamie Hince dumped her is not a reason to feel down. She is too excited as her Paris exhibition is about to start next year.

The retrospective will focus on the ‘Kate Moss Myth’ as created in advertising campaigns she has stared in and will open at Les Arts Décoratifs in Paris in November 2009.

The curator of the show is Pamela Golbin, Curator of Twentieth-Century and Contemporary Fashion at the Musée de la Mode et du Textile in Paris, the woman behind the recent Balenciaga
retrospective there and the curator of the current exhibition on legendary couturier Madame Vionnet.

The exhibition will feature images and campaigns spanning Moss’ entire career, which will be sourced from, amongst various places, her agency Storm in London who have got everything Kate’s ever done, says Golbin:

We’re working out what is available, but her modeling agency has kept hold of absolutely everything she’s done from the very beginning, including archive material from two decades ago.”
