Katherine Ann Moss, better known as Kate Moss, has been a fashion icon for over two decades. Moss has graced over 300 magazine covers since she began modeling in 1998 at the age of 14. She has appeared on the cover of British Vogue an amazing 24 times over the course of the several years.
The daughter of a boutique manager and an airline clerk, Moss was born in Addiscombe, Croydon in 1974. Her parents divorced when Moss was thirteen years old. She has a younger brother as well as a half sister and half brother. While she wasn't often recognized as a good student, she was a strong athlete in school.
A lack of high marks in class certainly didn't keep Moss from knowing success. She was approached at JFK Airport by a renowned modeling agency while she was on her way back to England following a holiday in the Bahamas. Shortly after, her first print campaign appeared in the British magazine called The Face.
Over subsequent years, Kate's career skyrocketed. She ushered in the waif look of the early nineties with her shockingly thin frame and high cheekbones. Calvin Klein used Moss's image extensively in his campaigns. By 2007, she ranked second in Forbes magazine's list of the top-earning fifteen supermodels in the world.
Her personal involvements have been almost as interesting to her fans as her modeling work. She has been romantically linked with numerous celebrities from Hollywood and the recording industry, including Mario Sorrenti, Johnny Depp, Pete Doherty and Nick Corbin. Moss had a daughter named Lila Grace Moss in September of 2002, with Dazed and Confused editor Jefferson Hack.
British tabloids have long been fascinated with Moss's recreational habits. She is a frequent visitor to Ibiza, and many tabloids have alleged that she and her rocker boyfriends often use cocaine to fuel their party-filled lifestyle. However, Moss successfully sued the Sunday Mirror for alleging she fell into a coma after a weekend of partying in Spain in the 1990's.
In September 2005, The Daily Mirror ran an extensive photo shoot that seemed to show Moss and Pete Doherty of the Libertines using cocaine. She lost many major modeling contracts after the photos were released, but the British police dropped all charges against Moss in June 2006 due to a lack of evidence.
Kate Moss and her friends still frequent the party island of Ibiza. She is reportedly a huge fan of tech house music, and the island specializes in providing electronic music fans with the best talent in the world. The island is an idyllic paradise that caters to the eclectic tastes of club goers from around the world, and Moss is a big fan of all the island has to offer. She's been seen with Sly Stallone, Jade Jagger, Sadie Frost, Davinia Taylor and most recently, Jamie Hince.
Online rumor mills reported that Hince and Moss were looking for a church for their nuptials in Ibiza in early August 2008. The couple was reportedly looking at San Carlos church and requested information on wedding receptions at Las Banderas Hotel. The couple has been dating since September of last year.
