Jamie Hince and Kate Moss: a selection of photos from the wedding

Biography

Kate Moss is a British actress and supermodel.
In the 1990s and 2000s, Kate Moss was considered the highest paid model. Katherine Anne Moss was born in January 1974 in Croydon, one of the boroughs of London. Shortly after the birth of their daughter, the Moss family welcomed their second child, son Nick. When Kate Moss was 13 years old, her parents separated. The mother, who worked as a waitress, had a hard time, because she was left with two young children in her care. Kate had to help her mother, and at a very young age she earned money by selling tickets to attractions and Maslenitsa carnivals. A little later, she worked as a saleswoman in toy stores.

One day, Linda Rosina Shepherd saved up some money and gave Kate and Nick a gift: she took the children on vacation to the Bahamas. Then Kate turned 14 years old. She looked like a homely, thin teenager with a frowning look. Catherine did not observe any interest from the boys. But it was precisely this awkward girl that caught the attention of the owner of the little-known London agency Storm, which was engaged in the selection of models. Sarah Doukas, who saw the teenager at New York's Kennedy Airport, suggested that Kate, upon arriving home, look into the agency and try herself at a casting as a model. Moss has arrived. Thus began a new, vibrant biography of Kate Moss.

How Kate Moss has changed

Photos of Kate Moss in a swimsuit have leaked online. Unfortunately, the once most sought-after top model is now far from in the best shape. News.ru remembers Moss's best years.

The model is vacationing with her 16-year-old daughter Lila and her young boyfriend Nikolai von Bismarck in Saint-Tropez. Kate Moss was once a role model, but now she has lost her slimness and grace, for which fashion designers and fans loved her so much.

The British model began her dizzying career at the age of 14. Very quickly, Moss became one of the highest paid fashion models of the 1990s and 2000s. It was with the appearance of Moss on the catwalk that the fashion for thin girls with figures reminiscent of teenagers began. Soon, the fragile beauty with high cheekbones and slightly slanted eyes became a supermodel.

For ten years, Moss received multimillion-dollar fees, while her figure remained virtually unchanged. She inspired the world with her images. Thanks to her, skinny jeans, leopard coats and silk slips entered the wardrobes of fashionistas. Her figure allowed her to participate in candid photo shoots without embarrassment and wear equally provocative outfits. Moss appeared in so-called naked dresses even on the red carpet.

Unfortunately, as often happens in show business, people who become famous in their youth experience breakdowns and depression. Under the “yoke” of popularity, in 1998, Moss had to go to a psychiatric clinic, and subsequently undergo treatment for drug addiction. Moss returned to the modeling business in the early 2000s and immediately entered into several contracts with fashion houses.

But age, numerous parties in my youth, and not the healthiest lifestyle took their toll. For the first time, photographs of Moss, appearing before the audience not in the best shape, appeared four years ago during her vacation in Ibiza. Even then, the top model could not boast of an ideal figure. Despite this, she continues to appear in public in rather revealing outfits.

Model business

A short, high-cheeked teenager with an indifferent expression in her eyes, at first glance Kate Moss did not “fit” into the model parameters. The catwalks were dominated by Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer and Nadja Auerman. But Kate was destined to break the traditional and already somewhat outdated understanding of model parameters. The girl appeared on the crest of a wave of androgyny (blurring between the sexes), which soon swept the world of high fashion.

At first, Kate Moss's career was neither shaky nor slow. But the girl was happy with this, not understanding what she was doing in the world of fashion and beautiful people, to which she had never considered herself. Kate had many complexes about her unfeminine figure and atypical appearance. But nevertheless, now Moss’s parameters were fully consistent with the modeling business (in her youth, with a height of 170 cm, the girl’s weight was 46 kg). But Kate didn’t even suspect that she would soon become a real supermodel, and Moss’s fees would be more substantial than Naomi Campbell’s.

The wave of androgyny that invaded the world of fashion was noticed in time by one of the trendsetters - Calvin Klein. The fashion designer was the first to popularize the unisex style, for which the completely flat and short Kate Moss, who embodied “genderlessness,” was ideal. The girl becomes the face of a new perfume from Calvin Klein called “Unified” (CK One).

Soon the fragrance becomes one of the best-selling scents, and Kate’s face with her signature distant “wolf” look is known everywhere, because now Moss’s photograph is on all advertising banners and magazine covers. The emerging trend for “heroin chic” (sick, emaciated and sexless fashion models) brought many models of the same type as Kate Moss to the catwalks. But Kate was the first, and it was worth a lot. And in the literal sense of the word. Kate Moss's fees are sky-high.

The girl began playing in films and television series, but only in a cameo role and without being listed in the credits. Kate Moss appeared as herself in 35 films. Moss received her first episodic role in the TV series “Inferno”. In 1999, Kate Moss played the supporting role of Maid Marian and Queen Marian in the short film Blackadder: Back and Forth.

Kate Moss earned her first million dollars at the age of 20. In 2000, Kate Moss became one of the world's highest paid models. The 4-year contract with Chanel alone brought the girl $5 million. According to Forbes magazine, Kate Moss earned $14.8 million.

In 2005, Moss collaborated with Topshop. Kate makes her debut as a designer and releases her own clothing line. 14 collections of the brand with Kate were released. This collaboration adds another $5.2 million to the model's capital.

In 2006, the model received recognition in art. British sculptor Marc Quinn cast a bronze sculpture depicting the supermodel in a yoga pose. The sculpture was called "Sphinx".

In 2007, Kate Moss again tried her hand at acting and appeared in the short fantasy film “The 4 Dreams of Miss X”, where she played the main role.

After Kate Moss left the Topshop brand, the supermodel was invited to participate in shows of many fashion houses, including Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Chanel, Dior, Versace " and others. According to Forbes, the model becomes the 2nd richest woman, behind only top model Gisele Bündchen.

In the spring of 2008, Kate Moss worked as the face of several global brands. The supermodel has collaborated with Yves Saint Laurent, Roberto Cavalli and Donna Karan. After Kate's collaboration with Kate, the fragrance "Kate" appears. Inspired by Moss’s unusual beauty, British artist Marc Quinn again turned to the model’s image and cast a gold statue of “Siren” with the features of Kate Moss, which became the main exhibit of the British Museum.

In 2011, the supermodel created and launched her own line of lipstick shades in collaboration with the Rimmel brand, with which Kate has been working as a model since 2001. The Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate Moss lipstick line has received positive reviews. As consumers admit, the reason for the positive reaction to the new lipstick was not even the famous name of the supermodel. I liked the lipstick because it has a set of unusual shades, bright and rich, but not flashy and suitable for everyday makeup. Fans of the brand consider the line “Rimmel. Kate Moss" is the pearl of the company's cosmetics collection.

On January 16, the famous British supermodel Kate Moss turns 40 years old.

The highest paid model of the 1990s and 2000s was born in the UK and was the second child in the family.
The girl grew up without a father, and her mother Linda Moss worked as a waitress. Having saved up some money, Linda decided to take her children on vacation to the Bahamas - this trip became a ticket to a fabulous life for Kate. At the age of 14, at New York's Kennedy Airport, she was noticed by the director of the London Storm agency, Sarah Doukas, who invited Kate to try herself as a model. Less than two years later, young Moss appeared on the cover of Face magazine. After which she was invited to appear on the covers of glossy magazines and in commercials.

Scandals

The “heroin chic” that Kate Moss embodied led the model to a lifestyle that was so carelessly popularized by fashion gurus. The model really began to abuse alcohol and drugs. In 1998, Kate Moss was admitted to a private psychiatric clinic. According to the official version, Kate Moss was treated for exhaustion. In fact, as it turned out later, from alcoholism.

After leaving the clinic, Kate gained 4 kilograms and looked healthier and more refreshed. Moss, as before, did not adhere to diets and happily consumed chips, sausages, spaghetti, puddings and fish.

But Moss did not last long: the healthy way of life soon became boring. Kate has been spotted using cocaine. An incredible scandal broke out. Fashion houses terminated signed contracts with the model. Moss checked herself into an Arizona drug treatment clinic to recover from her addiction. After rehabilitation, fellow stars stood up for Kate, including Stella McCartney and Elton John. The girl again appeared on the covers of tabloids and at shows. But after the supermodel’s treatment, one of the main fashion designers who introduced the model to the world stopped working with Kate. It was Calvin Klein.

In October 2020, a new scandal occurred. Paparazzi waylaid Kate Moss at a party hosted by model friend Rita Ora, where Kate appeared with characteristic stains of white powder on her black dress. The media again started talking about Kate returning to her former life.

Personal life

Unlike her modeling career, Kate Moss's personal life is not so brilliant. At the beginning of her work as a model, the girl lived for a couple of years with photographer Mario Sorrenti, with whom Kate also had a working relationship. But after meeting Johnny Depp, Kate and Mario broke up. The romance that broke out took place in a drug-alcohol haze. Depp was not filming at that time and was using heroin. The romance quickly ended, and Johnny went to Vanessa Paradis, who helped the actor recover.

After breaking up with Depp, Kate Moss dated other gentlemen. The media names Anthony Langton, Billy Zane and Jack Nicholson. In 2002, Kate Moss gave birth to daughter Lila Grace with publisher Jefferson Hack. But this union also quickly fell apart.

In 2005, Kate Moss began a high-profile and scandalous affair with musician Pete Doherty. The relationship was accompanied by wild parties and problems with alcohol and drugs. Three years passed in constant noisy quarrels and reconciliations, which took place in full view of the paparazzi. In the end, the high-profile relationship ended in an equally spectacular separation. Subsequently, Pete dedicated a number of lyrical compositions to Kate.

The connection with the musician of the Anglo-American indie rock duo “The Kills” Jamie Hince also became fleeting. In 2007, the model and musician met, and in 2011, the star couple got married. And soon the guitarist left Kate for model Jessica Stam.

The tabloids are talking about Kate Moss again today because of the supermodel's new love interest. The 41-year-old model is having an affair with the 28-year-old descendant of Otto von Bismarck, photographer and Count Nicholas.

Despite her media presence, Kate Moss probably does not have an Instagram account. The service does not show verified pages with this name, and the largest account for the request “Kate Moss” honestly states in the description that this is a fan page where the latest and, as fans admit, rare photographs of the model are published.

Many spoke out against the fashion trend for excessive thinness and condemned the type of model, allegedly exhausted and suffering from anorexia.
