Kate Moss… can she do no wrong?

She’s a model, a fashion designer, a style icon and a party girl-Kate Moss covers all aspects of the spectrum. She’s known for her distinctive figure, her celebrity friends and more recently, her alleged drugs scandal but  still landed on her perfectly formed feet.

Her appearance on over 300 magazine covers all began when she was discovered at the age of 14 by Storm Model Management and became known as the “anti-model” of the 90’s as she contrasted supermodels such as Claudia Schiffer and Naomi Campbell, who were known for their curvaceous and tall figures.

She quickly charmed the fashion industry and soon became the face of Rimmel as well as supporting campaigns by major designers such as Gucci, Dolce and Gabbana, Versace, Roberto Cavalli and Dior. This led to her appeaance in British Women’s Sunday Times Rich List in 2007, where she was estimated to be worth £45 million and ranked as the 99th richest woman in Britain.

Whilst everything appeared to be going swimmingly for Kate, on the 15th of September 2005, London’s Daily Mirror ran front page images that appeared to show Moss snorting lines of cocaine at a recording session.  Five days later, H&M announced that they would be dropping her from their autumn clothes range which was designed by her good friend, Stella McCartney. On September 6th, Chanel announced they would not be renewing Miss Moss’ contract with them and Burberry also decided to drop the star from their campaign.

Kate apologised for her actions and was heavily defended by friends such as Naomi Campbell and ex-boyfriend Johnny Depp. Designer Alexander McQueen showed true devotion to the model by wearing a t-shirt saying ‘We love you Kate’ during his walkout after a fashion show.

A year after the cocaine scandal, Moss made a huge comeback by bagging 18 top modelling contracts in 2006 including Rimmel, Agent Provocateur, Roberto Cavalli and Calvin Klein. The effect of her cocaine scandal appeared to be fading away and it was suggested that her earnings after the scandal were more than before the incident.  In 2006, Moss won Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards and whilst this was a clear sign that the public and the industry had forgiven her for her antics in 2005, the award was caused controversy.

In 2007, Moss decided that being a model and a party girl was simply not enough to keep her busy and on May 1st she launched her own collection in 255 Topshop stores.   The launch caused a media frenzy as she appeared in the window of the flagship store on Oxford Street, London, modelling a red dress from her collection.

Moss it seems has made a full public recovery and the nation continue to admire and rely upon her for effortless style.  Only last week, Cameron Diaz was spotted entering a hair salon in LA clutching a picture of Kate Moss only to come out with the exact same hair-do!  So girls rest assured that even the most famous and beautiful of women, with stylists on hand, take tips from Miss Moss…

With striking good looks, Ibrahim Hassan is sure to break hearts, but he is far from egotistical

ibbyWe have all experienced the times when our parents pull out the photo album and decide to revisit memory lane.  Albums filled with cute baby pictures, you with your first bike, and all those fancy photo shoots from modelling when you were six. No?

This tends to be normal for Ibrahim Hassan, a 20-year-old student, modelling for extra cash while in his final year at university. Read more
