Kate Moss Paris exhibit hangs by a thread

An exhibition about Kate Moss slated for Paris has been put back until 2011 due to lack of funds.

The Museum of Decorative Arts was scheduled to run a show about the British super model from November until April next year. But a spokeswoman for the museum said it was “looking for funding” from private donors.

The exhibition would be the first in Paris to take the 35-year-old Moss as its theme. The museum funds small-scale events but is reliant on private patronage for fashion shows and large-scale exhibitions, its spokeswoman said.

The Kate Moss show in particular was to be fully funded by private donors.
