Kate Moss was the undisputed fashion icon of the 90s. She was discovered when she was only 14 years old. Her career, however, was filled with drama…
In the summer of 1988, Kate Moss, with her mother and sister at the airport, was noticed by Sara Doukas from the Storm Model Management modeling agency, who offered her a trial photo shoot.
After a trial shoot, Kate signed with the agency and quickly began appearing on magazine covers and fashion shows.
At the age of 14, Moss participated in a photo shoot. The photographer told her to take off her top underwear and pose nude. The model was completely alone at the time
As soon as I took off my underwear, I felt very embarrassed. I felt something was wrong. I took my things and ran away. That situation taught me a lot and sharpened my senses. Now I can spot the wrong person a mile away
she told the program Desert Island Quite in BBC Radio 4
However, this was not the end of her unpleasant experiences. During the Calvin Klein photo campaign, the woman starred alongside actor Mark Wahlberg.
He was the macho type, the world revolved around him. Standing next to him topless, I felt objectified and terrified. I think the crew took advantage of my youth and innocence on purpose.
she revealed in an interview with BBC.
After only five years, Moss appeared on the cover of the most important fashion magazine Vogue. To date, Kate Moss has performed over 300 times.
The 20-year-old model became an icon, but the sudden recognition and harsh reality of the toxic fashion world made Moss’s mental state worsen by the day.
Kate experienced numerous nervous breakdowns, after which she had no strength to get out of bed. The doctor then prescribed her Valium. Moss quickly became addicted. She drank a lot of alcohol and took drugs. In 1998, she went to rehab, which, however, did not help much.
In the book Champagne Supernovas in 2014, journalist Maureen Callahan wrote about Kate’s love of partying:
On one she could snort three grams of coke and drink a bottle of vodka, which doctors said was the best liquor for keeping her skinny: she went off so hard and fast that her nickname was The Tank.
The model herself in an interview with the magazine The Sun about addiction issues:
I live in denial. I could keep getting drunk, but I started noticing that I wasn’t happy. I was no longer in control of myself, and alcohol doesn’t make us feel any better. But I couldn’t think straight because I was basically hungover all the time
To this day, she remembers bathing in champagne with Johnny Depp, whom she first met in 1994 in a coffee shop Tabac in New York. When Kate Moss and Johnny Deep started dating, they were 20 and 31 respectively. The significant age difference did not prevent them from creating a relationship that lasted three years, from 1994 to 1997.
From our first conversation, I knew we would be together
– once said a model quoted by the portal People.
Today she is far from drugs and scandals. He has a 20-year-old daughter, Lila Moss, who also began her modeling career. Kate Moss runs her own agency Kate Moss Agency and is happily married to photographer Nikolai von Bismarck. The 49-year-old model looks gorgeous and seems to have finally found the peace she longs for. We wish you all the best!
