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.
