Kate moss

THIS IS NOT REALLY KATE MOSS THIS IS HER MYSPACE FAN SITE!! Born on 16 January 1974, in Addiscomb, Croydon, Moss once admitted that she thought she "might've been a bank manager". As it turned out, she was destined for far greater things including developing into one of the most beautiful women the world had ever seen. At 15, Kate was cast in her first catwalk show, playing Lolita for John Galliano. At 18, she became the Face of Calvin Klein, most famously fronting his underwear campaign with Mark Wahlberg and appearing nude for Obsession, and to this day Klein maintains that she "defines her generation". She made her first appearance in British Vogue in January 1993. Her first cover followed two months later, with Kate photographed by Corinne Day in a pink and blue Chanel bustier.
As Vogue's former Fashion Features Editor Lisa Armstrong puts it, Kate soon became "the (defiantly) non-supermodel who managed to out-super them all". The darling of the fashion world, she was widely credited with spearheading the controversial "waif" look of the early Nineties and, in 1995, her fame was such that she was encouraged to release a hardback book of pictures entitled simply "Kate".
But by November 1998, her hectic lifestyle had taken its toll on the young model and Kate checked into London's Priory Clinic, suffering from exhaustion. When she emerged the following January, she announced that she had spent the last decade modelling "drunk". "For years I never thought there was anything wrong with it," she told Vogue with characteristic frankness, shortly after her rehabilitation. "We all used to get drunk at the shows. I just thought I was having a really good time, which I was. But it got too much. There was no normality. I felt like everyone was sucking me away."
Since rehab and the dissolution of her eight-year contract with Calvin Klein, Kate has taken on the grander status of style icon, appearing less and less on the catwalks. In the May 2000 issue of British Vogue, she played muse to seven modern British artists, including Tracey Emin, Sarah Morris, the Chapman brothers, and Sam Taylor-Wood. She is also famously easy-going. As Mario Testino says: "Kate is great company, a truly nice person." And she is still enormously bankable. In September 2000, US magazine BusinessAge ranked her the fifth highest paid model in the world, with estimated earnings of £14.8 million. She has appeared in several notable documentaries about the fashion world, having made her acting debut with a spot in the comedy series French & Saunders in 1996.
Kate's love life has been almost as well-documented as her career, right down to the detail of the tiny heart tattoo on her hand. She has been linked with photographer Mario Sorrenti, Spacehog guitarist Antony Langdon, Rolling Stone Ron's son Jesse Wood, and artist Jake Chapman, as well as Billy Zane, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Evan Dando of the Lemonheads. Most famously, she dated Johnny Depp for three years until 1997 (the pair were trumpeted by Vanity Fair as the couple of the decade). She has a daughter, Lila Grace, born on 29 September 2002, with Dazed & Confused editor, Jefferson Hack. The couple split in March 2004. Her close friends include Anita Pallenberg, Marianne Faithfull, Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen and Matthew Williamson.
