Right now, on the Internet, there are countless photos of Kate Moss looking chic, flawless, incredible, and all of the other adjectives reserved for otherworldly, attractive supermodels. Which is why it is so delightful to see Moss before her professional modeling days, when she was just an adorable, age-appropriately awkward English school girl.

Somewhat ingeniously, L’Officiel Spain got its hands on the ultimate #TBT photo and placed it on the magazine’s inaugural cover in lieu of a portrait of the present-day supermodel. (Best Kate Moss magazine cover ever? Aside from ours, of course.)

The debut issue, titled “Kate the Great,” cheekily features a whole slew of other especially good Kates, including Katharine Graham, Catherine Deneuve, and Katherine Anne Porter.
