kate moss
kate moss was discovered by Sarah Doukas of Storm Agency at JFK Airport when kate moss was fourteen. After being featured in the British magazine The Face, kate moss caught the eye of Harper's Bazaar editor-in-chief Liz Tilberis who featured kate moss in the September 1992 relaunch issue. Calvin Klein then signed kate moss, and through his media saturation landed kate moss image on every magazine, bus stop, and billboard in North America. This seemingly overnight success has not come without criticism, however. kate moss thin physique caused controversy over the "fashionable" waif look; it managed to land kate moss on a 1993 People cover under the title "Skin and Bones." kate moss atypical look (small stature and slight weight) seemed to be the 90's response to the Amazon supermodels of previous decades and as a result, critics presumed that kate moss's popularity would be short-lived. Now, nearly six years later, kate moss's career hasn't waned. The press has moved on to other personalities, and kate moss, who has always kept a relatively low profile, has survived unscathed. kate moss still maintains a rather cultish following in the fashion world and kate moss only response to critics: "The more visible they make me, the more invisible I become."
