Kate Moss counts F. Scott Fitzgerald among her favourite writers although she once admitted that her bedside reading was Pooh Bear's book of Taoist dictum. document.write(wwmenu) removeUS('Stella_McCartney') removeUS('Alexander_McQueen') removeUS('Matthew_Williamson') The story goes that Kate Moss was discovered by Sarah Doukas, the founder of Storm model agency, at JFK airport in 1988, as she prepared to board a flight home to London with her father. She was 14 at the time, and a "not entirely enthusiastic" pupil of Riddlesdown High School in South London.
Born on 16 January 1974, in Addiscomb, Croydon, Moss once admitted that she thought she "might've been a bank manager". As it turned out, she was destined for far greater things including developing into one of the most beautiful women the world had ever seen. At 15, Kate was cast in her first catwalk show, playing Lolita for John Galliano. At 18, she became the Face of Calvin Klein, most famously fronting his underwear campaign with Mark Wahlberg and appearing nude for Obsession, and to this day Klein maintains that she "defines her generation". She made her first appearance in British Vogue in January 1993. Her first cover followed two months later, with Kate photographed by Corinne Day in a pink and blue Chanel bustier. | |
