All hail the Queen! There's only one Kate in London, and Fashion Industry made it clear. With her thin and boyish body, Moss created a stir in the modeling word, launching what became known as the «waif look». Kate started working as model at the age of 14, when she was discovered by Sarah Doukas, at JFK airport, in New York. In 1993, she rose to fame when featured in Calvin Klein’s Obsession ad campaign. Some people found her «young» and with a «childlike beautiful image» while others thought she was too skinny and might suffering from an eating disorder. Despite of all negative reviews, Moss continued to make it big in Fashion Industry and during her career has appeared on the cover of more than 300 magazines.

Kate is also known for her tumultuous personal life: alcoholism (she received medical treatment for her addition in 1998, in a London clinic) and drug problems (in September 2005, she was caught snorting cocaine with her then-boyfriend, British rock star Pete Doherty).  Due the drug scandal, she lost many of her lucrative modeling contracts: Chanel, Burberry and Stella McCartney collection for H&M. Legendary British Fashion Designer, Alexander McQueen, defended her and during his walk-out after a Fashion Show wore a t-shirt saying: «We Love You Kate». She later went to the Meadows Clinics in Phoenix, Arizona, for treatment. By next year, she renewing contract with Burberry and Calvin Klein. In 2006, Kate Moss reached a deal with clothing retailer Topshop to design her own collection of clothing. She broke up with Pete Doherty for good in 2007. She dated Johnny Depp in the 90’s and Jefferson Hack, with who she has a daughter, Lila Grace. Kate married The Kills rocker Jamie Hince, in 2011.

Here is one of my favorite actors ever since I saw Savage Grace, in 2007. Eddie is now famous worldwide for his astonishing performance as Marius Pontmercy in the 2012 cinematography adaptation of the musical Les Misérables. Acting and Art have been his two big passions since childhood and his parent were great facilitators of his love of acting as a child, taking him to Drama lesson from an early age. He first appeared on stage when he was 12 years old, in Sam Mendes’s West End production of Oliver, where he got a small role. He continued to act at Eton College and at the University of Cambridge, where, in 2001, graduated in History of Art, from Trinity College. He secured an agent after his professional stage debut as Viola in Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre’s Twelfth Night at Middle Temple Hall, in 2002. In 2006, he played Angelina Jolie’s son in The Good Shepherd. Next year, he would play Julianne Moore’s son in Savage Grace, based on the true story of the Baekeland family; Eddie played Anthony, a homosexual and schizophrenic teen who has an incestuous relationship with his mother. In 2010, he rises to fame for this portrait of redhead hero, Jack Jackson, in TV mini-series adaptation of Ken Follett's book, The Pillars of the Earth, and, in 2011, with My Week With Marilyn; where he played Colin Clark, a British young man who had an affair with Marilyn Monroe. Eddie once said: «Acting has done a strange thing to me, though. I often sit there, thinking: I love this, but I wouldn’t put my daughter on the stage.»
 
In his personal life, Eddie Redmayne is straight; in 2010, he dated British actress Carey Mulligan, and is currently dating publicist Hannah Bagshawe, since Summer of 2012. Regarding his personal style; Eddie adores Levi's denim jeans, battered footwear, Converse by John Varvatos and suits, especially velvet, mainly from Burberry and Alexander McQueen. Eddie is colorblind and confessed that he does not have a lot of knowledge regarding films, and that Scarlett Johansson gave him a list of «must-watch movies», when they were filming The Other Boleyn Girl, in 2008. He is bestfriend with Andrew Garfield.
