About Kate Moss
English model
Kate Moss is an English model who rose to prominence in the early 1990s, after the supermodel era had begun to wane. Born Katherine Ann Moss, she became closely identified with the heroin chic trend and with Calvin Klein campaigns, which helped turn her into a fashion icon. She is known for her waifish look and for her role in the rise of size zero fashion. Moss has also launched her own clothing line, taken part in musical projects, and worked as a contributing fashion editor for British Vogue. Her career recognition includes a 2013 British Fashion Awards honour for 25 years of contribution to fashion, and Time named her one of the world’s 100 most influential people in 2007.
