Kate moss biography wikipedia indonesia

Katherine Ann Moss (born 16 January 1974) is a British model.[7] Arriving towards the end of the
"supermodel era", Moss rose to fame in the early 1990s as part of the heroin chic fashion trend. Her
collaborations with Calvin Klein brought her to fashion icon status. She is known for her waifish figure,
and role in size zero fashion. Moss has had her own clothing range, has been involved in musical
projects, and is also a contributing fashion editor for British Vogue. In 2012, she came second on the
Forbes top-earning models list, with estimated earnings of $9.2 million in one year.[8] The accolades she
has received for modelling include the 2013 British Fashion Awards acknowledging her contribution to
fashion over 25 years, while Time named her one of the world's 100 most influential people in 2007.[9]

A subject of media scrutiny due to her partying lifestyle, Moss was involved in a drug use scandal in
September 2005, which led to her being dropped from fashion campaigns.[10] She was cleared of
charges and soon resumed modelling. She has inspired cultural depictions including a £1.5m ($2.8m) 18
carat gold statue of her, sculpted in 2008 for a British Museum exhibition.[11]

Beginnings and "heroin chic" fashion

Moss was recruited as a model in 1988 at age 14 by Sarah Doukas, founder of Storm Management, at
JFK Airport in New York,[18] after a holiday in The Bahamas. Corinne Day shot black-and-white
photographs of her, styled by Melanie Ward, for The Face when she was 16, in a shoot titled "The 3rd
Summer of Love". Moss was presented as a young unknown, and Day described the pictures as "dirty
realism" or "grunge".[19]

Moss then featured in the Levi's campaign 'Levi's for Girls',[20] with great success, set up by The Design
Corporation and again shot by Corinne Day. A further shoot followed for The Face, by Tony Briggs,
entitled "Haute Coiffure",[21] Moss went on to be

Kate Moss is as British as the Queen, shit train service and shirtless men drinking Stella. She’s become such an icon of everything UK that those shops on Oxford Street that somehow manage to stay afloat selling bedazzled New Eras and Big Ben broaches now screen-print her face onto cheap white T-shirts as just another souvenir for tourists visiting London.

Her early tale is well told. The Croydon-born 14-year-old was discovered by Sarah Doukas, founder of Storm Model Management, at JFK Airport in New York City. By the following year, she’d appeared on the cover of a British magazine – a monumental milestone for any model. She rose to fame in the early 90s and became known as the “anti-supermodel” of the decade. She’s appeared on the covers of more than 300 magazines and been the star of ad campaigns for most of the top fashion houses. But you know all that.

Over the years, various old shoots have emerged, but recently Kate’s first ever professional photographs were rediscovered in a drawer and shared with the world. I spoke to photographer Owen Scarbiena, who had the career-defining job – unbeknown to him at the time – of taking the shots.

VICE: Hi Owen. So how did you initially land this gig with Kate?
Owen Scarbiena: I’d been doing photography for fashion shoots and stuff, and I’d done some stuff for Premier, Select and Storm, so obviously I knew Sarah and Caroline in the agencies – and I was always looking for new girls. At the time I was working on a new project: white designer blouses and sports knickers that girls used to wear at school many moons ago, and it was about that time that Sarah Doukas called me from Storm saying she loved my work – which was very clean, minimalist – and that she’d got this girl, Kate, who I’d love, and it just so happened to fit in with the type of stuff I was doing because she was very fresh.
