Biography
Moss was born in Addiscombe, London
Borough of Croydon, England. She
attended Ridgeway Primary School, then
Riddlesdown High School but she was
not noted for her academic success
though she did excel at sports. According
to Vermorel's book Addicted to Love: Kate
Moss she earned one C (in Science) and
Ds, Es, and Us in all others at GCSE level.
She was discovered at the age of 14 by
Sarah Doukas (the founder of Storm
Model Management) in 1988, at JFK
Airport in New York City, after a vacation in
the Bahamas. Moss's career began when
Corinne Day shot black and white
photographs of her for British magazine
The Face when she was 15, in a photo
shoot titled "The Third Summer of Love".
Moss then went on to become the anti-
supermodel of the 1990s in contrast to
the supermodels at the time, such as
Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer, and
Naomi Campbell, who were known for
their curvaceous and tall figures.
Moss during her waif periodShe ushered
in the waif look in 1993 (which prompted
much speculation over her weight) with a
highly publicised campaign for Calvin
Klein, including posing nude in ads for its
perfume brand, Obsession. Moss
charmed the fashion industry despite
being unusually short for a runway model,
and has worked for such elite houses
including Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Louis
Vuitton, Versace, Burberry, Chanel,
Missoni, Dior, Longchamp and David
Yurman. Now in her 30s, Moss is still
working and has become a supermodel
in her own right.
She has a daughter, Lila Grace, born on
29 September 2002, with Dazed &
Confused editor Jefferson Hack. She is
rumoured to have married Pete Doherty in
2007.[6]
[edit] Campaigns
Moss has had campaigns with major
Italian, French, American, and British
designers including Dior, Yves Saint-
Laurent, Burberry, Rimmel, and Bvlgari.
She has been featured in fashion
spreads in most major fashion
magazines including UK, US, and French
Vogue magazines (as well as other
international versions of Vogue), Another
Man, Vanity Fair, the Face, and W. Moss
has appeared on the cover of Vogue 23
times and has been featured on the cover
of 17 issues of W, including one issue
with nine different covers featuring the
model. W even names Moss its muse
(September 2003 issue). She has
worked with the most well-known
photographers in the fashion industry
today, such as Mario Testino, Mario
Sorrenti, Steven Klein, and Juergen
Teller, and is a Peter L "trained" model.
She won the prestigious Vogue/CFDA
award from the Fashion Designers of
America in July 2005 as Fashion
Inspiration. The haute couture dress she
wore to the award ceremony was from the
Christian Dior fall 2005 haute couture
designed by John Galliano.
April 2005 saw the launch of the Rimmel
London mascara ad featuring a leather-
clad Moss Moss riding a motorbike
through London.
As of April 2006, camera company Nikon
have also signed her to be the face of
their new Coolpix S6 digital camera; the
photoshoot features Moss posing in a
state of undress, with nothing but the
camera.
[edit] In the Music Industry
Moss has appeared in music videos
such as "Kowalski" by Primal Scream, "I
Just Don't Know What to do with Myself"
by the White Stripes and "Delia's Gone"
and "God's Gonna Cut You Down" by
Johnny Cash. She also provided vocals
for songs by Primal Scream (the 2003
version of "Some Velvet Morning") and
Babyshambles. She has worked with
various artists and sculptors including
artist and photographer Chuck Close. Her
vocals are featured on the
Babyshambles' "La Belle et la Bete",
singing the lines "Is she more beautiful
than me?"
[edit] Troubles and scandals
Moss checked herself into a psychiatric
centre in 1998, claiming she was
suffering from "exhaustion." She later
admitted she'd been drinking and getting
high before getting on the catwalk, but
denied ever indulging in harder
substances. Dismissing rumours that
her stay was for substance abuse,
sources have revealed that she was
suffering from depression over her
separation from longtime boyfriend, actor
Johnny Depp.
The British tabloids and paparazzi often
target Kate Moss, most likely because
she never gives interviews. UK tabloid the
Sunday Mirror was sued successfully by
Moss for claiming that she had slipped
into a coma after taking large amounts of
cocaine in Spain years earlier.
[edit] Cocaine scandal
Daily Mirror front page showing Moss
using cocaine.British tabloids, particularly
the Daily Mirror, have long claimed that
Moss habitually used cocaine. In
interviews Moss dismissed these claims
as ridiculous.
On 15 September 2005, London's Daily
Mirror ran front page and inside photos
that seemed to show Moss snorting
several lines of cocaine at a
Babyshambles recording session. Most
tabloids have reported that Moss used a
£5 note to snort five lines in 40 minutes.
[5] It has been alleged by Babyshambles'
then singer Pete Doherty that James
Mullord, his former manager, sold the
photos to the newspaper for more than
£150,000.[6] Within a short time of
publication, Moss lost major modelling
contracts with several international
companies. On 20 September 2005, the
Swedish fashion retailer H&M, which
intended to feature her in a campaign of
their autumn clothes range designed by
Moss's good friend Stella McCartney,
announced instead that it was dropping
Moss after the drug allegations. The
contract was reportedly worth £4 million a
year.[7] A day later, Chanel announced
that it would not be renewing its contract
with Moss, which was set to expire in that
October, although the company said that
its decision had nothing to do with the
drug scandal. Burberry also decided to
drop Moss's campaign with them. Moss
quickly issued an apology though she
stopped short of admitting drug use. "I
take full responsibility for my actions. I
also accept that there are various
personal issues that I need to address
and have started taking the difficult, yet
necessary, steps to resolve them," she
said. "I want to apologise to all of the
people I have let down because of my
behaviour which has reflected badly on
my family, friends, co-workers, business
associates and others."
Moss continued to appear in major ad
campaigns during this period for Dior.
She was on the cover of the November
2005 W and also appeared inside in a
multi-page fashion shoot. She was also
defended by friends and supporters,
including models Naomi Campbell and
Helena Christensen, French actress
Catherine Deneuve, her ex-boyfriend
Johnny Depp, and designer Alexander
McQueen. McQueen's defense was
especially notable and during his walk
out after a fashion show he wore a t-shirt
saying "We love you Kate". Artist Stella
Vine also supported her, and paintings of
Moss by Vine in this incident were
exhibited and reproduced in the press.
Pop singer Robbie Williams said of
Moss' relationship with Doherty, "I can
understand why Kate finds it difficult to
leave Pete, he has a certain charisma
surrounding him."
Also in November 2005, Moss ended her
relationship with Doherty soon after he
checked himself out of Meadows Clinic in
Arizona, failing to complete a programme
for drug rehabilitation. Moss herself
underwent successful treatment there in
October and had urged Doherty to seek
the same treatment himself. Doherty
claims that their separation involved other
issues, telling the The Sun newspaper
that Moss left him because, “I can’t buy
her diamonds and my dick is too small.”
[8]
[edit] Comeback
Twelve months after her cocaine scandal
Moss made a comeback by bagging 18
top modelling contracts for the
Autumn/Winter 2006 season which
include: Rimmel, Agent Provocateur,
Virgin Mobile, Belstaff, Beymen, Dior,
Louis Vuitton, Roberto Cavalli,
Longchamp, Stella McCartney, Bulgari,
Chanel, Nikon, David Yurman, Versace,
Mia Shvili, Calvin Klein Jeans and
Burberry. Moss has also agreed to make
her first foray into the design world by
designing a collection, in collaboration
with Katy England, for Topshop [9], while
it has also been suggested that Moss will
launch a fragrance bearing her name in
2007[10].

On 5 January 2006, the Metropolitan
Police asked Moss to return from the US
to Britain to answer questions about the
incident.[11] The following day, the Daily
Mirror reported that Moss would return to
Britain and face arrest about allegations
of cocaine usage. She was interviewed by
police in London on 31 January 2006,
with her solicitor present, but reportedly
made no admissions, and she was not
arrested (photographs of alleged drug-
taking are not admissible evidence in
British courts). On 16 June 2006, British
police finally dropped the charges for lack
of evidence. [12] Ultimately Moss was
cleared of all charges, and had resumed
her modelling career.
In November of 2006,Moss won the
Model of the Year prize, the top accolade
in British fashion, but the award has
divided opinion and stirred fresh
controversy.
According to Forbes.com Moss is making
more money than ever. Her 2004-2005
earnings were $5 million[13] and her
2005-2006 earnings were $8 million. [14]
[edit] Style
In addition to being known for her
modelling work, Kate Moss is also an
international fashion icon.[15] She has
garnered many awards for her style
including Award of Fashion Influence at
the Council of Fashion Designers of
America's award and a place on the
Vanity Fair's international best-dressed
list.[16][17] She even appeared on the
cover of Vanity Fair's September 2006
style issue. Her style mostly draws
inspiration from rock and roll. Due to her
reputation, she is credited for setting
numerous trends. In recent years she
has popularised denim cutoff shorts,[18]
Ugg boots, skinny jeans especially of the
brands Sass & Bide and Siwy, the
waistcoat, and the Balenciaga handbag,
[19] as well as bringing waist-cinching
belts back into popularity.[20]
[edit] Trivia
She appeared in the comedy Blackadder,
as Maid Marian in the episode Back and
Forth, a Comic Relief special, in 2000.
In another Comic Relief appearance, she
played Katie Pollard, the sister of Vicky
Pollard, in a special Little Britain Live
performance in Hammersmith on 22
November 2006.
In February 2005, a nude portrait by
Lucian Freud of Moss while she was
pregnant sold for £3.93 million. Moss
planned and posed for the portrait as her
version of the Madonna as a full frontal
nude.[21]
In 2006, "Sphinx", a sculpture of Moss in a
complicated yoga position was unveiled
by controversial British sculptor Marc
Quinn. The pose itself was modelled by a
more experienced woman, though the
body, hands, and feet are cast in Moss'
exact measurements. Quinn's
representation of Moss is meant to show
"a mirror of ourselves, a knotted Venus of
our age."
Moss has led ads by Roberto Cavalli; and
in the February issue of W is a 20 page
main fashion shoot depicting her as
Greek goddess shot in St. Barts while on
vacation. She is the cover of the 6 March
edition of W and in a 15 page fashion
shoot as Marilyn Monroe in the April issue
of W.
In March 2006, the women's lifestyle
magazine Female First reported Kate
Moss as adopting Buddhism after briefly
reading about its philosophy during rehab
to get through an alleged drug addiction.
According to Britain's Grazia Magazine,
she is contemplating on doing charity or
volunteer work to achieve good karma.
In March 2003, Moss gave a rare, lengthy
interview to Penny Martin on website
Showstudio.[22][23] She replied to the
topic of the media singling her out on the
debate on body image with: "It was just
the time. It was a swing from more buxom
girls like Cindy Crawford and people were
shocked to see what they called a 'waif'.
What can you say? How many times can
you say 'I'm not anorexic'?"[24]
Moss is godmother to the two sons of
The Clash member Paul Simonon.
Moss also appears in the cartoon series
Family Guy in "A Picture is Worth a 1,000

Musician Pete Doherty, reportedly spent an outing at a wildlife park chucking joints at aquatic
flightless birds. According to London Net,
Pete caused chaos at the Cotswold Wildlife Park, in Oxfordshire, when he threw what looked like a
cannabis joint to the penguins. One of the Humboldt penguins promptly swallowed it. A source told
The Sun: “He was joking about getting the penguins stoned. He threw them his joint and it looked
like one penguin gulped it down. It seemed very wobbly.” London Zoo’s chief veterinary officer
blasted Pete’s antics, [saying] “Feeding a penguin cannabis could be fatal. It contains toxins that
attack the nervous system and liver.”

Kate Moss
update 3/15/97
Kate Moss wore a coat made from 12 foxes during a country walk with boyfriend Pete
Doherty 3/13/07.
The supermodel has angered animal rights activists by parading the extravagant fur as
she strolled with Pete on his 28th birthday.
PETA campaigner Dan Matthews said: "A dozen foxes have been horribly electrocuted
just so she can look like a street walker."
Kate, 33, who was carrying a Polaroid camera, and Pete enjoyed a champagne picnic in
the early spring sunshine near Kate's Cotswolds home.
The pair also went for a drive in Kate's MG sports car before flying back to London by
helicopter.
The model - who has a four-year-old daughter, Lila Grace, with magazine editor Jefferson
Hack - has made no secret of her penchant for fur.
Kate's fur collection includes mink, goat, fox and rabbit garments.
Her own clothing range will be launched in British high street chain TopShop in May.

2007/03/23
Pete Doherty has admitted he still smokes crack every day.
Despite vowing to kick his cocaine habit for supermodel girlfriend
Kate Moss, the Babyshambles rocker has blatantly flaunted his
substance abuse.
In an interview with the New York Daily News newspaper, Pete said: "I
always stumble back on it sooner or later, even if it's for half an hour
a day."
The wild rocker even reportedly pulled out a crack pipe and lit up
during the interview.
Pete, 28, had impressed a judge during a recent court appearance,
who said the star was making huge improvements.
Pete's drug problem has been the cause of constant friction between
him and catwalk beauty Kate, 32 - who is currently in the Caribbean
for a modelling assignment.
After Pete was hauled to court yet again for drugs related offences in
December, Kate issued her troubled lover with an ultimatum: "It's me
or the drugs".
The couple have reportedly been engaged for a sometime, but Kate
will not commit to marriage while he is still using drugs.
Pete has previously confessed to once turning to selling his body to
feed his drugs habit.
He said: "There was no shame, because I kind of knew they were just
lonely p***ed-up old queens. And £20 was a lot of money!"
