Kate Moss

Kate Moss is a British supermodel, fashion icon, and entrepreneur who rose to fame in the 1990s as one of the most recognizable faces in the fashion industry. Born in Croydon, London, Moss was discovered at the age of 14 by Sarah Doukas, the founder of Storm Model Management, at JFK Airport in New York City. Moss became a prominent figure during the 1990s "heroin chic" fashion trend, characterized by her waif-like figure, androgynous style, and unconventional beauty. She is widely credited with revolutionizing the modeling industry by breaking away from the era of curvaceous supermodels like Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer.

Moss has worked with major fashion houses, including Calvin Klein (notably in the iconic 1992 Obsession campaign), Chanel, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, and Versace. Her partnership with Calvin Klein cemented her status as a global fashion icon. She has appeared on the covers of over 300 international magazines, including Vogue, W, and Harper's Bazaar. Moss has collaborated with brands like Topshop on a line of clothing and with Rimmel London on cosmetics. In recent years, she has worked with jewelry and home decor brands, further diversifying her influence. A staple on runways during her prime, Moss has walked for leading designers such as Alexander McQueen, Marc Jacobs, and John Galliano.

Moss's personal life has often been in the public eye, from her relationships with celebrities such as Johnny Depp and Pete Doherty to her high-profile friendships with figures like Naomi Campbell and the late Alexander McQueen. She has one daughter, Lila Grace Moss, who is also a model.

Despite controversies throughout her career, including allegations of drug use in the early 2000s, Moss has maintained her position as a style icon and remains a sought-after figure in the fashion world. She received the British Fashion Awards' Special Recognition Award in 2013 for her contribution to the fashion industry.

Kate Moss has transitioned into business and creative direction, launching the Kate Moss Agency in 2016 to mentor emerging talents in fashion, music, and film. She continues to influence global fashion trends and inspires new generations of models and designers.
