In 1984, Kate Moss was discovered by Sarah Doukas, the founder
of Storm model agency, at JFK airport at the age of just 14, as she prepared to
board a flight home to London with her father. After a series of shoots for teenage
magazines, it was Harper's Bazaar that finally launched her into the international
arena. In 1992, she became the Face of Calvin Klein.
Moss originally
spearheaded the controversial ''waif'' look which critics claimed encouraged anorexia
in impressionable teenagers. The girl from Croydon, who once said she ''might've
been a bank manager'' now divides her time between London and LA, where she is
often seen at The Viper Rooms, the controversial club owned by her one-time actor
boyfriend Johnny Depp. She has appeared in several notable documentaries about
the fashion world and in 1995, released a hard-back book of pictures entitled
simply ''Kate''. In London she is still represented by Storm. | |
