It is hard to look through a fashion magazine today without seeing Kate Moss staring back at you. To me she is an icon that defines street beauty, her less then perfect model body, as she is far below model height at only 5ft 7ins. Most fashion agencies won’t even look at girls that are smaller than 5ft 8ins. Her lack of height has never got in her way; she still makes clothes look flawless if it’s working in a Burberry campaign or in her personal life.
I believe she was a gift to make people transfixed to her. When bringing up Kate moss to my friends and family many of them have more bad things to say about her than positive. I feel her personal life of bad rock star druggie boyfriends, and her cocaine habits, which has been well documented by the daily mail newspaper is what eclipses her talent as a fashion model.
It makes me angry when people base their opinions on her based on what magazines like heat and Ok have to say about her and start looking at her covers of Vogue. She was a pioneer in the fashion industry in the 90s. Moss was like a breath of fresh air in the 90s, she broke the barriers and was different from models like Cindy Crawford who were busty and womanly. Kate was fresh and street, she got people talking and inspired designers like Calvin Klein.
On January 16th, she will turn 34 years old; Moss has turned into a mature woman with the spirit and face of a teenager. I think people should stop slating her and celebrate Moss as the fashion icon of our generation.
