Kate Moss said farewell to her fiancé, Jamie Hince, yesterday before heading off to shop around Notting Hill with friends. She also grabbed lunch at the restaurant Aimé during a break from prepping for her and Jamie's July nuptials. Kate Moss's wedding plans so far include a wish list of musical acts, and she's apparently locked down her pal and frequent collaborator Mario Testino as their photographer. The designer of her dress is still in question though. The latest rumors suggest Kate will still have John Galliano create her gown. John is due in court about two weeks before Kate's big day, so his boyfriend, Alexis Roche, may have to step in and help with the final preparations.

Mario Testino On His Top Five Favorite Photographic Subjects of All Time

>> Last night, 600 people — including Grace Coddington, Anna Wintour, Carine Roitfeld, and Donatella Versace — gathered in New York to celebrate Mario Testino's illustrious career as part of the El Museo del Barrio gala.

>> Last night, 600 people — including Grace Coddington, Anna Wintour, Carine Roitfeld, and Donatella Versace — gathered in New York to celebrate Mario Testino's illustrious career as part of the El Museo del Barrio gala. Kate Winslet, who presented Testino with an award, said of working with the photographer: “He’ll say, ‘It’s beeuuutiful, but I think it would be better naked, no?’ Quite frankly, how could one refuse? No matter what insecurities about oneself a subject may have, Mario makes them go away like a magician. One moment you are in the hair and makeup chair fully clothed and wishing you had smoother skin, longer legs and smaller feet and then Mario comes in and in that charming way he takes you by the hand and says, 'Don't worry it's going to be amazing.'"

Carine Roitfeld, meanwhile, said of collaborating with Testino: "What I love about him I can tell him anything and that is very rare with a photographer. If I don't like these shoes, or I don't like this picture I can tell him. It is his complicity . . . to be able to say what you want to someone. I just finished a book about my work so far and 80 percent of it is with Mario."

Testino, meanwhile, credited his career to Anna Wintour: “Long ago she decided I was a good photographer.” As for his favorite photographic subject, he replied: "It would have to be Princess Diana, it took my career to another level. Top five? Kate Moss has been one of my favourites for a long time. I have worked a lot with her. I think I have managed to document her through the 20 years that we have worked together. But there are many people like that: Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, it is hard to pick just one."

Kate Moss Hangs in London and Finalizes Her Summer Wedding Plans

Kate Moss was in head-to-toe black this morning as she headed out to seize the day in London. She was more dressed down than her errand-running session yesterday, when she wore a chic LBD around town with her fiancé, Jamie Hince. Kate left her house and met up with Jamie for an afternoon of furniture shopping — they are now the official new owners of a $12.6 million mansion in London's Highgate Hill neighborhood. She and Jamie are just two months away from their rumored wedding date in July, and they're putting the finishing touches on the big party. Snoop Dogg says he was asked to perform at Kate and Jamie's reception, which adds him to a wish list that also includes The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin. Those are pretty tough bands to nail down, even for a supermodel, but Kate always has her favorite hobby, karaoke, to fall back on if those musical acts are booked on her big day.

Kate Moss Admits to Loving Kate Middleton and Making Jam During a Rare Interview

Kate Moss and Jamie Hince were together this morning on their way out of the Ritz in Paris.

Kate Moss and Jamie Hince were together this morning on their way out of the Ritz in Paris. The luxe hotel is Kate's home away from home, where she usually stays while in the city. She and Jamie only spent one night there during this trip, which was organized so they could celebrate the Kate Moss and Terry Richardson collaboration with Mango. She granted a rare interview while abroad to promote their ad campaign, revealing that she was able to decide which of the chain's garments to wear on the shoot. Kate, who is notorious for rarely granting interviews, wouldn't talk about her upcoming wedding or her family, but the supermodel did discuss Kate Middleton's style, the royal wedding, and one surprising hobby. Kate Moss told The Telegraph of London:

  • On Kate Middleton: "Oh I love her! She was so chic and seamless. And just beautiful, it was just as a royal wedding should be."
  • On where she watched the royal wedding: "In the country, with loads of friends and kids who were all crying. There were tears. We were like 'ok, you can marry Harry!'"
  • On whether she'd like a royal title: "Ha ha. Can you imagine? I'm too young to be made a Dame. A Dame's for old women. Like Margaret Thatcher . . . I'd prefer to be a baroness. I'd quite like to be Lady Kate. But I'm happy just as I am."
  • On her love of spreads: "I love my jam. I've just had a batch of it come through, I've been making it."
  • On what she hasn't accomplished: "Well I wasn't in [George Michael's] 'Freedom' video . . . I just missed it. That would have been amazing."
