Ann Moss
(born Katherine "Kate" Ann Moss; born January 16, 1974, Croydon, UK) is a British supermodel and actress. Known as one of the highest paid models of the 1990s and 2000s[2].
Career[ | ]
At the age of 14, Kate was noticed at New York's Kennedy Airport by the director of the London Storm agency, Sarah Doukas, who invited her to try herself as a model. And two years later, Kate appeared on the cover of Face magazine. For a long time she collaborated with the American brand Calvin Klein, which made her a supermodel. Just in the early 1990s, the fashion world was swept by a wave of androgyny - the blurring of differences between men and women in appearance (thin thin bodies, long hair, identical clothes). It was Calvin Klein who was one of the first to use this new trend in fashion, popularizing the unisex style. Young, thin Kate perfectly embodied this image of “fusion of the sexes.” One of the most popular and best-selling perfumes of the 1990s was CK One.
(“United”), and Kate Moss became their “face”. Then the “heroin chic” trend appeared, associated with emaciated and haggard, pale young people who were addicted to drugs. Fashion designers exploited the “drug” image with all their might, releasing thin and pale models with circles under their eyes onto the catwalks. Kate Moss was at the peak of this fashion again. The fashion world was full of rumors that models, who often hang out in clubs and at various parties, actually use drugs that have become fashionable in a bohemian environment.
Moss broke the monopoly of the tall “supermodels” of the late 1980s and early 1990s (Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, Nadja Auerman), who became famous for their appearance as inaccessible and glamorous “goddesses.” With Kate's popularity came the era of very thin teenage models. It was from the mid-1990s that increasingly younger female models, whose age did not exceed 16 or even 14 years, began to appear on the catwalks of the world. Moss's success is also explained by the fact that she does not look like a “goddess”, but a normal girl who earns her living by fashion shows. British publicist Morley describes Kate this way: “She contradicts everything she should be. She's small, she has a hard look, an irregular face, and that's actually her advantage because people see themselves in her. She falls out of the aloofness and duplicity of the fashion world.” [ source not specified 3117 days

Kate Moss earned her first million at the age of 20, in 2000 she was named the highest paid model in the world (her earnings were estimated at $14.8 million), the contract with Chanel alone brought her, according to Forbes magazine, 5 million dollars over 4 years.
2005 was marked by a collaboration between Moss and Topshop, where she acted as a designer and model for the Kate Moss for Topshop line. Her collaboration with Topshop brought her more than $5.2 million. Philip Green, the brand's owner, thanked Moss for her work, saying it was "fantastic". However, according to him, Topshop began to take up more and more of the model’s time, and she wanted to try herself in other projects. According to the Daily Telegraph, the separation of the parties at the end of 2010 was “amicable.” At the same time, Green did not rule out the possibility of working with Moss in the future. In total, Kate released fourteen collections in collaboration with the brand, which turned out to be very popular among customers, despite the higher price range of the line compared to regular collections.
Since 1990, Kate Moss has been appearing in commercials, and in 1992 she was offered a contract worth $4 million. By the mid-1990s, the fashion star's income grew to 10 thousand dollars a day, books began to be written about her, and offers were made to act in films.
During her career, Kate Moss has participated in many campaigns and shows of famous fashion houses, such as Gucci, Dolce and Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, Versace, Chanel, Missoni, Christian Dior, " Longchamp", "David Yurman". Kate Moss was the face of the Christian Dior cosmetics brand, as well as the Mango and Lu-Jo clothing lines.
She has repeatedly appeared on the covers of the most prestigious fashion magazines, such as Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Elle and Glamour.
According to Forbes magazine, Kate Moss is the second top model in terms of net worth after Gisele Bündchen.
Childhood
Kate Moss' path to the modeling business began in a very original way.
One day, a 14-year-old girl was returning home from a vacation from Barbados and realized that she had absolutely nothing to amaze her friends with. During the trip, not a single guy even paid attention to Moss. However, Kate had no idea that at that moment she was being watched by the owner of the model search agency, Sarah Doukas. She invited an angular teenager with a gloomy look in his eyes to the casting. Kate didn’t miss it and entered the ranks of models. Video course “Spring”

Personal life[ | ]
Unlike her modeling life, Kate Moss's personal life has not been so good. Kate broke up with her partner, successful fashion photographer Mario Sorrenti, after meeting the famous American actor Johnny Depp, with whom she began a romantic relationship. A few years later, their relationship ended, and Johnny began dating French actress Vanessa Paradis. According to Courtney Love, in the mid-1990s she was Moss' mistress for some time[3].
After breaking up with Johnny, Kate Moss had many boyfriends: Billy Zane, Anthony Langton, Jack Nicholson [ source not specified 3117 days
]. She had a serious relationship with publisher Jefferson Hack, with whom Kate gave birth to a daughter, Lila Grace, in 2002. But in the end, this union also fell apart. In 2005, Moss met musician Pete Doherty. At one of the evening parties, on the occasion of the recording of Pete's new album, the paparazzi captured Kate Moss snorting something resembling cocaine. Sensational incriminating photographs were published by the Daily Mirror tabloid, after which a scandal erupted. Some famous fashion houses even broke their contracts with the supermodel.
As a result of the scandal, Kate Moss went to an American clinic located in Arizona, where many celebrities were treated for drug addiction. After a month of treatment, Kate returned to London. Friends and many of her colleagues from the fashion industry came out in support of the model. Among them were Elton John and Stella McCartney, their statements in defense of Kate Moss were successful - two fashion magazines put the model's photo on the cover, and old clients began to return.
In September 2007, Kate Moss met Jamie Hince, guitarist of the English-American indie rock duo The Kills.
. They got married on July 1, 2011 in London.[2] They separated in the summer of 2020, but finally broke up - and they did it by agreeing peacefully, without trial - only fifteen months later - in October 2020.
Features of the figure and style of Kate Moss
The supermodel knows very well that long, slender legs are her asset, and loves to highlight them with mini lengths and skinny jeans.
For a long time, Kate Moss had slender legs

Kate has always had small breasts and admitted that as a teenager, she was very worried about this and dreamed of plastic surgery. However, after becoming a supermodel, she abandoned this idea and made modest volumes her thing. It was this feature of her figure that allowed Kate to be one of the first to ignore such a wardrobe detail as underwear, showing off the contours of her breasts and challenging social norms. Today, she is happily echoed by such stars as Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Sienna Miller, Behati Prinsloo and Cara Delevingne.

“I realized a long time ago: what is given to you by nature is the best for you. This is your personality. If desired, all disadvantages can be turned into advantages.”

The simplest example of how you can incorporate leopard into your look is one small detail, for example, a scarf or bag. In this case, the look will not be boring, but the line between chic and vulgarity will be maintained.

When choosing items with animal print, it is important not to forget about the quality of the fabric, style and brightness. In order not to fall into Brazilian passions or bad taste, it is better to give preference to a muted or small pattern, without pronounced spots.
