Kate Moss (born 16 January 1974) is a British model. [6] Arriving towards the end of the "supermodel era", Moss rose to fame in the early 1990s as part of the heroin chic fashion trend. Her collaborations with Calvin Klein brought her to fashion icon status. She is known for her waifish figure, and role in size zero fashion. Moss has had her own clothing range, has been involved in musical projects, and is also a contributing fashion editor for British Vogue. In 2012, she came second on the Forbes top-earning models list, with estimated earnings of $9.2 million in one year. [7] The accolades she has received for modelling include the 2013 British Fashion Awards acknowledging her contribution to fashion over 25 years, while Time named her one of the world's 100 most influential people in 2007. [8]

A subject of media scrutiny due to her partying lifestyle, Moss was involved in a drug use scandal in September 2005, which led to her being dropped from fashion campaigns. [9] She was cleared of charges and soon resumed modelling. She has inspired cultural depictions including a £1.5m ($2.8m) 18 carat gold statue of her, sculpted in 2008 for a British Museum exhibition. [10]

Early life

Kate Moss was born on 16 January 1974 [11] in Croydon, Greater London, [12] the daughter of Linda Rosina Moss (née Shepherd), a barmaid, and Peter Edward Moss, an airline employee, and raised in the Addiscombe and Sanderstead areas of the borough. [13] She has a younger brother, Nick, and a half-sister named Lottie (Charlotte). [14] [15] Moss's parents divorced when she was 13. She attended Ridgeway Primary School and Riddlesdown High School (now Riddlesdown Collegiate) in Purley. She worked several local retail jobs in her early teens. [16]

Career

Beginnings and "heroin chic" fashion

Moss was recruited as a model in 1988 at age 14 by Sarah Doukas, founder of Storm Management, at JFK Airport in New York, [17] after a holiday in The Bahamas. Corinne Day shot black-and-white photographs of her, styled by Melanie Ward, for The Face when she was 16, in a shoot titled "The 3rd Summer of Love". Moss was presented as a young unknown, and Day described the pictures as "dirty realism" or "grunge". [18]

Moss then featured in the Levi's campaign 'Levi's for Girls', [19] with great success, set up by The Design Corporation and again shot by Corinne Day. A further shoot followed for The Face, by Tony Briggs, entitled "Haute Coiffure", [20] Moss went on to become the "anti-supermodel" of the 1990s in contrast to the models of the moment, [21] such as Cindy Crawford, Elle Macpherson, Claudia Schiffer and Naomi Campbell, who were known [21] for curvaceous and tall figures.

Moss featured in the fashion look heroin chic in 1996 [22] (which prompted speculation over her weight) with a campaign for Calvin Klein. Then-US President Bill Clinton spoke out against the trend. [23] Moss said, "It was just the time. It was a swing from more buxom girls like Cindy Crawford and people were shocked to see what they called a 'waif'. What can you say? How many times can you say 'I'm not anorexic'?" [24]

Drug allegations

On 20 September 2005, the Swedish fashion retailer H&M dropped her from its campaign of autumn clothes designed by Stella McCartney after pictures were published of Moss allegedly using cocaine. The contract was reportedly worth £4 million a year. [25] A day later, Chanel said it would not renew its contract with Moss, which was to expire that October, although its decision had nothing to do with the drug scandal. Burberry dropped Moss's campaign with them. [26] Moss apologised, though stopped short of admitting drug use. [27]

Moss appeared in ad campaigns for Dior. [21] She was on the cover of the November 2005 W and also inside in a multi-page fashion shoot. She was defended by designer Alexander McQueen, who, during his walk-out after a fashion show, wore a T-shirt saying "We love you Kate". [28] In March 2006, she appeared in the finale of his show The Widows of Culloden , as a life-sized illusion projected into a glass pyramid. [29] [30] Artist Stella Vine also supported Moss, and paintings by Vine, painted during the scandal, were exhibited and reproduced in the press. [31]

On 5 January 2006, the London Metropolitan Police asked Moss to return from the US to Britain to answer questions about the September 2005 cocaine scandal. [32] On 16 June 2006, British police dropped the charges for lack of evidence. [33] Ultimately, Moss was cleared of all charges and resumed her modelling career. [21] In 2015 Moss was escorted off an EasyJet flight by police after she became disruptive. [34]

On 1 May 2007, clothes designed by Moss for Topshop were launched in the chain's 225 UK stores. A Moss "countdown to launch" board filled a window of the company's Oxford Street store and on 30 April Moss launched the clothing there, briefly appearing in the window modelling a red dress from the collection just before the shop opened. [41] Topshop reportedly paid Moss £3 million. [41] The 50 designs included clothes, bags, shoes and belts, prices from £12 for a vest top to £150 for a cropped leather jacket. Clothes included skinny jeans, one-shoulder minidresses and T-shirts with K woven into the design. [42] In a collaboration with Coty, Moss has released four fragrances. [43]

In January 2012, having seen Dutch illusionist Hans Klok on the BBC's The One Show , Moss recommended Stella McCartney book him for London Fashion Week the following month. [47] It was planned that Moss, a magic fan, would be Klok's assistant, and she rehearsed three illusions, a levitation, a sawing in half and a guillotine illusion. However, she dropped out with temporary paralysis of her right arm due to a trapped nerve, and her place was taken by Alexa Chung. [47] [48]

Also in 2012, Moss appeared in the video of George Michael's White Light, inspired by his pneumonia. [49] Moss performed with Naomi Campbell in the closing ceremony of the 2012 London Olympic Games on 12 August 2012. [50]
