Kate Moss (born 16 January 1974) is an
English model who rose to fame in the early 1990s as part of the
heroin chic fashion trend. She is known for her waifish figure,
and role in size zero fashion. She is also noted for her
controversial private life, high-profile relationships, party
lifestyle, and drug use. In 2007, TIME magazine named her one of
the 100 most influential people in the world. In 2012, she came
second on the Forbes top-earning models list, estimated to have
earned $9.2 million in one year.[4] Aside from modeling, Moss
has embarked on numerous ventures, both fashion related and
non-fashion related, which include her own clothing line and
involvement in musical projects. On 1 May 2007, a collection of
clothes designed by Moss exclusively for the Topshop chain were
launched across the UK in the chain's 225 stores. A Kate Moss
"countdown to launch" board filled a window of the company's
flagship Oxford Street store and on 30 April, Moss launched the
clothing line at Topshop in Oxford Street, where she briefly
appeared in the shop window modeling a red dress from the
clothing collection just before the shop was opened, causing a
media frenzy. Topshop reportedly paid Moss £3 million for her
work. The collection of fifty designs included clothes, bags,
shoes and belts, where prices range from £12 for a vest top to
£150 for a cropped leather jacket. Clothes in the collection
included skinny jeans, one-shoulder mini-dresses and T-shirts
with the letter K woven into the design. The Topshop range was
later released in the United States at the New York chain store
Barneys. In a collaboration with Coty, Moss has released four
fragrances. In early 2010, it was revealed that she had
designed a range of handbags for luxury goods house Longchamp.
The Topshop launch is the centrepiece of this profile because it shows a model converting personal style into product. A countdown board filled a window of the Oxford Street flagship, Moss appeared briefly in the shop window modelling a red dress from the collection just before the store opened, and Topshop reportedly paid her £3 million for the work. The range was later released in the United States at Barneys in New York. The pricing is the point: a supermodel's wardrobe translated into a vest top at £12 and a cropped leather jacket at £150.
This page gathers Kate Moss photos, videos, news and blog posts, with search routes to each. Her standing in the industry is quantified twice here — TIME's 100 most influential people in 2007, and second place on the Forbes top-earning models list in 2012 at an estimated $9.2 million in one year — which is why the K directory files her simply as a fashion model celebrity: the modelling came first, and the designing, fragrances and handbags followed from it.
