She is the vane of the fashion industry and a model for celebrities to dress up. She debuted at the age of 14, became famous at the age of 18, and has been popular for 20 years; as the richest model in the UK, she has received 14 advertising contracts for international brands a year, 15 magazine cover, with a personal fortune of over £115m; she was accused of playing sex games with friends, taking cocaine and even having education experts sit down to discuss the impact of her drug use on British teenagers; When spurned, it is still imitated - her pair of sunglasses, a satchel, even the most casual way of fastening, maverick demeanor, and her casualness that transcends everything... She is Kate Moore Sri Lanka, the product of this era, is also the miracle of this era! It is the dream of all young female models to become
"Kate Moss".
But behind the rolling fame and fortune, is this British woman lucky or unfortunate? Just like we can see her ups and downs, see her ruthless decadence and "mother-daughter love", but we can never understand her sadness and joy here.
Kate Moss was born in England in 1974. In 1988, at the age of 14, she met a scout from the "storm" modeling agency at JFK Airport in New York. She was discovered to be a model while on vacation with her parents. Perhaps, at that time, she had vaguely realized that the contract would change her life, but she hadn't had time to realize that it was this contract that brought a change of concept to the entire modeling industry.
The 14-year-old Kate may be shorter than she is now - she is only 1.69 meters now, and under the long legs of Cindy Crawford, who was in the prime of her life, 1.20 meters, Kate is obviously too short. But that's not all, she is thin and bony, her breasts are like that of a little boy, her face has a little more freckles, and she even has some round legs.
In the mid-1990s, minimalism and morbid aesthetics went side by side, so in the modeling world, Kate's excessively short height and slightly thin body brought a new atmosphere to the fashion industry, and the model height was the first time in history. was lowered below 1.70 meters. Kate's first modeling career was extensively covered by the British magazine The Face. For a time, a wave of "waifs (wandering) clothing" was launched, which was favored by well-known designers, and dominated the fashion industry and dominated fashion magazines.
In 1992, Kate Moss met Calvirl Kleirl as the brand's spokesperson, and it became an instant hit. The innocent face, the blank eyes, and even the thin shoulder blades have become the most appropriate interpretation of CK. Back then, a collective fascination with "skinny" was set off among women and led to heroin fashion.
In 2004, in the annual "Best Dressed Woman in the World" selection by the famous fashion magazine "Glamour", Kate Moss, who was a mother at the age of 30, topped the list. The magazine's award-winning comment is: "Her personal fashion taste is widely recognized by readers." In 2005, the famous fashion magazine "Vanity Fair" announced that in their list of the best-dressed stars in the entertainment industry, the name of supermodel Kate Moss topped the list. This was her third time on the list. The status in the eyes of fashion people is unshakable. In 2006, she won the "Best Model" award at the prestigious "British Fashion Awards" ceremony.
Kate Moss, who is now comfortable with her skinny figure, once felt extremely inferior to her body. Kate recalled: "I was very shy at that time, very unsure of my body, unwilling to take off my clothes in public, and even secretly crying."
When did the ugly duckling start to become a white swan? Of course, the photographers who worked with them contributed to this. But her unparalleled acumen and good taste in fashion are also one of the reasons why designers and the media favor her. Or maybe it was the moment when the flash was on her, that her talent in the fashion industry began to "attack".
"Cocaine Kate"
After Kate Moss became famous, every outfit and item she wore once appeared in newspapers and magazines, it would create a fashion craze. From large handbags to long gold necklaces to skinny jeans... her huge print ads are on the streets of New York.
She said, "I can't see myself anymore, all I see is me in the advertisements made by others."
Kate Moss's pain is that she is dissatisfied with her body becoming the most interesting prop for business and fashion. She thought she was dirty when CK fanatically dressed her as a tramp. Many of her commercials are nude or half-naked, and when shooting CK's "Booze" perfume ad, the photographer asked her to be "naked" because nudity signifies purity. In the new CoCo fragrance ad, she's wearing nothing but a string of pearl necklaces. Kate often wonders, is she selling something, or being sold? In a TV interview, she blurted out: "Clothing sells sex!"
She would sit on the sofa laughing wildly, with empty beer bottles thrown at her feet and overflowing ashtrays. Vogue said that if Moss was a slut, she was a slut with a sharp mind.
After splitting from actor Johnny Depp in 1997, Kate Moss was in and out of alcohol treatment several times, and she was inseparable from alcohol from the time they were together until two full years after their split. Under huge pressure, her self-government is a kind of helplessness and a kind of depravity. In September 2005, shocking photos of her taking drugs were exposed. For a time, her career also slipped from peak to trough, including Burberry Prorsum, Hennes & Mauritz and many other world fashion companies have terminated her contracts, and Chanel also removed the title of her spokesperson, and declared that even if Moss recovered from treatment, it would not Will hire her back again.
For a time, "Cocaine Kate" became Moss' nickname.
So far, for a year, she has disappeared from the public eye, living a life of similar seclusion in the southern state of Arizona.
Everyone thought that Moss was really going to die this time, like an out-of-date Hollywood actress, or a runway model who got fat because of a broken love. Like countless women in the entertainment circle who have been or have never been, she may disappear into the turbulent winds of the rivers and lakes like a puff of smoke. But, Kate was Kate after all, and as she said, "It is a sin to be tired!" She came alive, and she would never rest.
Comeback
Moss once gritted his teeth in a documentary about the life of a supermodel, saying that she was seen as the root of all evil in the world, "the first is anorexia, the second is smoking, and the third is heroin."
Ruthless to the media She was grateful for the exposure and hype about Moss' drug use. Moss even bluntly admitted that if the media hadn't found out about his drug use, he might have only had the tragedy of his untimely death. Her boss, Richard Bronson, said: "Kate knew at the time that there had to be a powerful force to contain her depravity, or there was no way out. She was living in fear every day. At the same time, deep inside The conscience and the guilt of the place were also fighting each other, and Kate felt extremely distressed. The contradiction was far beyond anyone's imagination."
At the drug rehab center, staff there talked to Moss day in and day out about her family and friends, In addition, family and friends often visit her for support, and Moss has regained hope in life. In those days before, the darkness of death was like a lingering shadow that threatened to drag Kate to hell every minute. Fortunately, Moss has been reborn from the shadows today.
Bronson and Kate Moss first met as a "teenage boy" at the age of 15, when the now-famous Virgin modeling agency had just launched. In a sense, the reason why Kate Moss can become a "phenomenal" model in the international fashion industry in the future is due to the support of Bronson-Bole. After Kate Moss' drug use was exposed, and the big names fell to the ground and announced their dismissal, it was Bronson who helped her to regroup in her career. Talking about his relationship with Kate Moss, Bronson smiled indifferently: "I'm the one who goes to Kate when she needs help the most. From a certain perspective, my role in Kate's life Similar to her father."
The drug addiction is over, and Moss is back on the fashion front, with his annual income soaring threefold. Her portrait by the most famous contemporary painter, Lothian Freud, was bought by a mysterious buyer for £3.5 million at Christie's in London. In early 2007, the famous British sculptor Mark Quinn even completed a pregnant woman sculpture based on her pregnant appearance, which was placed in Trafalgar Square in central London.
The public has always been extra "forgiving" to the legendary woman Kate Moss.
Falling in love with prodigal sons
Kate Moss has made countless star boyfriends, movie stars Johnny Depp, Daniel Craig, Oasis chorus lead singer Liam Garraf and Ivan Dandu and so on .
Johnny Depp, 44, and Moss were in a 4-year relationship before they split in 1998. They were a natural couple, each tattooed the other's name on their bodies, and their love was dark and dark, and they shared vigorously. It was not until she successfully quit drinking in 2000 that she finally met the "true son", the founder and executive editor of the British Fashion Magazine Group, Jefferson Haike. Falling in love with Heike in early 2001, Heike is not only a perfect partner, but also her biggest bole, he opened up a new career for her, making Kate Moss the most popular entertainment headline outside the British royal family and stars , social figures. They gave birth to their daughter Lila Grace.
The relationship lasted until 2004, when Jefferson Haeck moved out of their love nest. Then, he fell in love with Peter Doherty, the former drug addict of the British band The Prodigal Son. In 2005, Moss broke up with drug-addicted singer boyfriend Pete Doherty several times for his daughter, but rumors of a split and reconciliation made their relationship confusing.
All the men with whom Kate is rumored to be in a relationship have a history of drug and alcohol addiction, they all have the prodigal temperament and talent that is fatal to women, and the "rocker"-like appearance. Perhaps it was the same experience that made them feel more connected to each other. However, it is not easy for the most similar people to get together. The vigour and vigour with Johnny Depp in the past did not end in the end. Maybe they all need someone more normal than themselves to be around to live a normal life.
A friend of Kate Moss once revealed: "Kate really loves Doherty. In fact, there is only one reason that hinders the two people from continuing to develop their relationship, that is, Doherty seems to be unable to get rid of the troubles of drugs no matter what. Detoxification is very important to the "prodigal son". "For Doherty, it is a true portrayal of repeated defeats and repeated defeats. And now Kate's greatest wish is to live a clean and peaceful life. For ordinary people, this kind of life is easily available, but for the For world supermodel Kate Moss, it is an ideal.
Now, 34-year-old Kate has experienced the ups and downs of career and love, and her name is still closely associated with danger, temptation, decadence, money and fashion, but, Who can say no to her? Some say Kate Moss' beauty is a kind of girl-next-door beauty, her casual, slouchy, decadent decadence style is vividly dyed. Others say, "In fact, Kate Moss Si has never thought of presenting herself as a good girl: anorexia, alcoholism, a man who is like a marquee... The charm of a bad girl is enough to drive a good girl mad, we love her like love in another world , Have another possible self! "It's probably the most original reason we pet her.
