Kate Moss - photo and biography of an unusual supermodel

“It contradicts everything that it should be. She is small, she has a hard look, an irregular face, and this is actually her advantage, because people see themselves in her. It falls out of the alienation and duplicity of the fashion world. " This is what the British publicist Morley wrote about Kate Moss.

Kate Moss is about 170 cm tall - very short for a model, her weight ranges from 48 to 53 kg - in the early 1990s she was considered too thin, her figure is too flat and Kate herself looks more like a boy than a feminine beauty. But despite all this, Kate Moss has become one of the most popular models in the world. And one of the richest. Among the top models only Gisele Bundchen gets more Kate. And also Kate Moss managed to adjust the fashion for herself, yes, that's right. Indeed, in many respects, and thanks to Kate, the unisex style came into fashion in the 1990s.

Kate Moss was born on January 16, 1974 in the city of Croydon (England). When she was 13, her parents divorced. After the divorce, her mother had to work as a waitress in order to have at least some money. According to one of the versions, at the age of 14, Kate, with her younger brother and her mother who managed to save money, went on a trip to Bali. According to another version, it was a trip to the Bahamas, but not with his mother, but with his father and younger brother. But these two stories have in common in that at the airport Sarah Douglas, an employee of a modeling agency, approached Kate and invited Kate to try herself in the modeling business, to come to the casting.

At first, Kate thought this proposal was a joke, because she always considered herself ugly, but she still came to the casting. In the beginning, Kate was not so popular. In the late 1980s, she starred mainly for advertising, but in the early 1990s, she gained popularity. At that time, very thin models appeared on the catwalks more and more often, models that looked almost like teenage girls. Among them there were quite a few really girls of 14-16 years old. Androgyny has come into vogue - the blurring of differences between men and women in appearance (thin thin bodies, long hair, the same clothes).

Kate starts working with the American brand Calvin Klein and soon becomes one of their main models. At 20, she will make her first million. Kate has also collaborated with famous brands such as Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, Versace, Chanel... She starred for Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, ELLE magazines.

Recently, Kate Moss has taken up design herself. She signed a contract with Topshop, which manufactures and sells clothing and accessories. Kate becomes the designer of their fashion line. So to create one of the collections for Topshop, according to Kate, she was inspired by trips with friends to hot summer countries. Keith believes that summer, vacation wardrobe is undoubtedly important. Kate has also been involved in the creation of cosmetics for Coty.

But Kate Moss's personal life, in contrast to her career, did not develop so smoothly. At the age of 17, Kate began dating fashion photographer Mario Sorrenti. Then she dated actor Johnny Depp. She also had affairs with Billy Zane, Anthony Langton, Jack Nicholson. Keith began a serious relationship with publisher Jefferson Hack. In 2002, they had a daughter, Lilu Grace. But the wedding never took place. Then Kate met with musician Pete Doherty. They planned to get married, which Doherty announced during one of his concerts. But their wedding fell through.

In 2007, Kate Moss met Jamie Hins, the guitarist of the rock band. And on July 1, 2011 in London, Kate Moss finally went down the aisle. They merried. Among the bridesmaids was Kate's daughter Lilu Grace. And among the invited guests is the father of her daughter Jefferson Hack. Wedding Dress for Kate was created John Galliano, shoes - Manolo Blahnik.The groom wore a sky blue YSL suit with a double-breasted jacket.

Kate has been called a style icon many times. According to Kate herself, she never really thinks about how to dress up more stylishly, she just combines things from her wardrobe and looks at what suits what. Undoubtedly, she has impeccable taste. And Kate also loves “smoky” eye makeup, which, according to her, nothing can win. And at 38 years old, Kate, as before, remains a real beauty and supermodel.
