She is notoriously reluctant to be interviewed, but Kate Moss has finally broken her silence - to launch a stinging attack on men.
Her scathing remarks on the opposite sex accompany one of the Croydon-born beauty’s sexiest photoshoots ever.
The supermodel poses in a series of striking black and white photos, including one risqué shot which features Moss wearing nothing expect a pair of elbow-high gloves, for U.S. magazine Interview.
In one shot, a laid back Moss leans against the wall in a high-legged leotard, with her tiny waist ‘crowned’ by a unusual-looking belt made of metal wires.
For the feature, the 34-year-old covers up her long blonde hair with a short platinum blonde wig, harking back to the 1980s haircut of Blondie star Deborah Harry.
The supermodel, who is dating Kills frontman boyfriend Jamie Hince, reveals in the interview that she doesn’t think terribly highly of the opposite sex.
‘Absolute b******s. Men are not to be trusted,’ she said.
She also boasts of her sexual abilities, admitting she has more experience with men in her thirties: ‘I’m a lot better in the sack now.’
She also reveals her daughter, Lila, is a fashion freak and much-more strong willed than she was as a child.
The model also chose the interview as an excuse to pour water on rumours that she doesn’t eat and is too skinny.
She said: ‘I didn’t eat for a long time. Not on purpose. You’d be on shoots with bad food or get on a plane and the food would be so disgusting you wouldn’t eat it.’
‘I never liked being that skinny. I was never anorexic, so I was never that skinny.’
Her comments, which also appear in this week’s Grazia magazine, come as she was snapped enjoying a romantic night out with Hince.
Moss was pictured leaving pop star George Michael’s house following the final leg of his two-year worldwide tour to mark the end of his live career.
As well as Moss and Hince, other guests in attendance were Matt Lucas and a mystery male companion.
And despite giving the rare interview, Moss proved she is still keen to avoid the paparazzi glare as she tried to shield herself from cameras by covering herself with a jacket.
Moss was styled by Karl Templer for the Interview shoot. The magazine is currently on sale in U.S. newsstands.

Eclipsing younger rivals half their age, original supermodels Naomi, Linda, and Claudia front winter campaigns
In the fickle world of fashion, where youthful beauty is all, they should be well past their sell-by date.
But the original supermodels of the Eighties and Nineties are eclipsing many of their teenage rivals to front this season’s most coveted collections.
Two decades older but mysteriously unwrinkled, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista currently dominate the pages of fashion magazines such as Vogue.
Mother-of-one Miss Evangelista, 43, is the face of Prada, having toppled 23-year-old Russian Sasha Pivovarova from her six-season reign at the fashion house.
Meanwhile, Miss Schiffer, 38, is fronting Chanel’s main collection while Miss Turlington, 39, is promoting the designer’s eyewear.
Miss Campbell, 38, has been chosen as the face of Yves Saint Laurent as well as garnering the front covers of French, Italian and Brazilian Vogue.
Each model is expected to earn around ?300,000 from the campaigns.
Industry experts said their return can be explained by the fact that designers are keen to appeal to older women with more disposable income as the credit crunch hits.
Carol White, managing editor of Premiership Model Management, said: ‘In times of financial instability, brands go for top quality - they want to sell dreams.
‘There is much more punch with a girl like Linda than a beautiful face from the Ukraine.’
Didier Fernandez, of DNA Models in New York, said: ‘People are starting to wake up to the value, both in the emotive and bankable sense, of the original supermodels.’
And the decision appears to be paying off.
L’Oreal’s profits have soared by 20 per cent since Miss Evangelista first appeared in its adverts 18 months ago.
The supermodel phenomenon was first created in 1991 after Gianni Versace put the group - which also included Cindy Crawford, 42, Helena Christensen, 39, and Stephanie Seymour, 40 - on to his catwalk.
Renowned for their womanly curves, by 1996 their star had begun to wane amid reports of outrageous demands and diva-like behaviour.
