“Yes, she’s small, but with that face and grit they’ll try to imitate her all over New York”
You must be acumed to recognize a star and even more you’ll need to have when everything seems to be against you.
That jaunty attitude and the long blonde hair told so long about that eccentric British girl who would soon overturn the world fashion scene forever. In a time when Claudia Schiffer and Cindy Crawford’s statuesque beauty were the standards, Marky Mark, who was responsible for the new Calvin Klein advertising campaign in the 1990s, sensed the enormous potential of the one who, from the suburban center of London, one day would have become the super topmodel Kate Moss.
The campaign for Calvin was just the beginning of a career that profoundly changed the aesthetics of the new millennium’s fashion. Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Chanel and even Vogue, W, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar and Peter Lindbergh shouted one name in unison: Kate.
In 2007 she reached the peak of his career being defined by Forbes the most successful model in the world.
Milky legs, dug face and penetrating look become the perfect identikit of all those models who would soon have had Moss as an icon of style and beauty. Today, at the age of 45, Kate is a powerful businesswoman and stylist. Recruiter of what will become the new faces of the fashion system has opened the Kate Moss Agency, to pass a witness that has history and career to sell. And if it is true that “to be oneself is an act of rebellion” today more than ever we can not do anything but join the rebels and wish all together: Happy birthday Kate!
