Biography
Kate Moss was discovered at JFK airport whilst waiting to catch a plane with her family. She has since gone on to become one of the worlds most famous supermodels.
It all began with her first cover shoot for British magazine “The Face” in 1997. She then posed scantily clad for Calvin Klein underwear adverts, and then nude for the Calvin Klein perfume, ‘Obsession’. At the time Moss was criticised for giving further endorsement to the controversial 1990s ‘heroin chic’ look, which many people thought dangerous and unnecessary to glamorise in the world of fashion, already notorious for its drug culture.
In 1997, “Kate: The Kate Moss Book” was published. Moss personally chose the pictures of herself that would make up this compilation, representing her career in front of the camera lens.
Moss’ dabbled in the field of music by appearing in music videos, such as “Delia’s Gone” by Johnny Cash and “I Just Don’t Know What to do with Myself” by the White Stripes. She has provided vocals for both Primal Scream’s 2003 “Some Velvet Morning” and ex-boyfriend Pete Doherty’s band Babyshambles.
She has featured in fashion spreads in most major international fashion magazines, including Vogue (UK, French and US), The Face, Vanity Fair, W and Another Man, and she has graced the covers of these issues many times over. Moss has also worked with the fashion industry’s top photographers, including Mario Testino, Steven Klein, Juergen Teller and Mario Sorrenti.
Moss has been a spokesperson throughout her professional career, and has worked with major British, French, New York and Italian designers, including Yves Saint Laurent, Dior, Chanel, Versace, Dolce & Gabanna, Narciso Rodriguez, Sephora.com, Missoni, Louis Vuitton, Banana Republic, Cerruti 1881, Burberry and Rimmel.
