Kate moss

[Itsseptemberthatwentfast]

She just seems so nice and unaffected, especially considering the amazing life and attention she’s had. Never seem to hear a bad word about her and she still looks good!
I just basically want to be her and have had her life 🤣

This interview with Lila Moss is quite revealing. No, her mother wasn't keen on her being a model - but she signed her up to the Kate Moss Agency (if I was Lila - and I'm very much not - I would want to distance myself and see if I could make it on my own). Lila was doing a Marc Jacobs campaign at age 15. That I really don't get. How could KM put her through the child-model phase that she herself went through? It brings to mind those men who had a miserable time at boarding school but nevertheless insist on sending their own sons there.

And, re lateness, according to the article Kate Moss is notoriously late for things and once kept the journalist waiting for 3 hours at the Paris Ritz (there are worse places to wait, but even so ...).

What on earth is it with Mumsnet and Kate Moss?! Thisnis the second thrrad worshipping her ein a few weeks.

I have no problem with her (although I don’t think drug abuse and promoting being underweight is much to admire), but why the worship when there are so many other people in the world? It’s very odd.

Is that you Kate?!

I am deeply suspicious of all wellness influencers, not just Kate, so I won't be buying her patchouli candles or rosehip face cream...

Going by her latest parties (Yes we sadly live quite close to one of her houses) I wouldn't be SO sure she has totally quit drugs either.

Curtain twitching and pearl clutching in one sentence 😂.

Druggie, still supporting druggie, abusive friends, encouraging people to not eat to be skinny, rude. What’s not to like? 😬

@JesusChristThatsTastyQuorn yes I noticed supper after I was quoted 🤣 I prefer breakfast model myself.

@Arbesque where did you get that info from?

This is how I think of Kate Moss. I was a 16/17 year old at the height of this era and wanted to be a cool indie chick with a boyfriend in a band just like Kate. I think she turned the hunter welly from country bumpkin to hipster chic because of those festival pics. In the early days of ASOS you could search for celebs and get recommended clothing based on their style, mine was Kate Moss or Alexa Chung. Both very slim and willowy, the opposite shape to me but they still made teen girls feel that style of fashionable was attainable. Her collaborations with Topshop were gorgeous and still sell for £££ on eBay too.

I find it really odd that MN always seems to think that those of us who don't want a supermodel's life are jealous. The glamour industry is hell. I wouldn't want to be as insecure as Linda Evangelista, or wonder what to do with the rest of my life, now that I have had the temerity to age. And no, I really don't want to be doing topless pictures when I am 45, while wondering if my tits are as perky as they used to be.

I absolutely don't claim to look as young and gorgeous as Kate, but is it so unbelievable that maybe I would prefer a more long-lasting career or passion?

Also I was as slim as Kate till I was 40- Asian genes not cocaine- but then menopause took over. I wasn't that much happier than I am now honestly. Maybe a bit.

She wasn't necessarily defending him though was she? As I saw it she just testified what happened on that occasion which was that he didn't push her down the stairs.

‘I must say this is all very interesting timing with the launch of her 'healthy new wellness brand' surely some kind of joke no?!’

Compare & contrast 2005 with 2022.

I don’t think the rest of Kate Moss’ life would make up for the part where you were in a relationship with Pete Doherty!

She was 35 when she said nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels.

It seems the world has a pretty low bar for celebs. Not being a total monstrous dick = being so lovely

DV a beautiful model once? I've never seen a picture of her looking like that..off to Google now it might take me days

She's just so effortlessly cool!

This interview with Lila Moss is quite revealing. No, her mother wasn't keen on her being a model - but she signed her up to the Kate Moss Agency (if I was Lila - and I'm very much not - I would want to distance myself and see if I could make it on my own).

To be frank, I think it's obvious that she couldn't. Even with all the professional hair, make up, designer outfits and so on, Lila looks like any other teenager walking down the street. Pretty enough, but nothing special. She's also not tall enough to be a professional model.

Lila was doing a Marc Jacobs campaign at age 15. That I really don't get. How could KM put her through the child-model phase that she herself went through? It brings to mind those men who had a miserable time at boarding school but nevertheless insist on sending their own sons there

At least not quite as bad as Cindy Crawford, who had Kaia modelling at the age of 10.

I suppose with their connections, Lila and Kaia won't be exploited in the same way other very young models might be. But a career where you're solely judged on your looks, and have people constantly saying how you're nowhere near as beautiful as your mum, would seem quite stressful for such young girls. Especially when their parents are rich and well connected enough to set them up in any career they might set their hearts to.

She's just so effortlessly cool!

yup

and people on here can bang on about how she used to do drugs, or isn’t a good role model, or how they think they think they look better than her but none of it matters really does it

kate was cool, is cool and will forever be cool

slag her off all you want but she’s winning at life

Me either, ick, ick, ick and for two years or something! she went to rehab because it was one of his friends (Pete says) that probably sold the film/pics of her snorting 5 lines of coke. She went to rehab another time as well supposedly due to exhaustion (bullshit). Having also been with JD I can't imagine there was anything normal or functional about either relationship.

It's juts horrendous though that she was being coerced into topless work at 15.

She's very beautiful but the party lifestyle just seemed to go on and on and on, even when she had her daughter. I would think most of her life is a performance to appear to be what people want her to be especially when it comes to magazine articles or filmed pieces. I read that her image was always very important because obviously otherwise she'd lose her work - she told Pete he'd have to get an implant and get off heroin (it's probably why she went to rehab when she was caught with coke the first time - so the public had a reason to forgive her - and why the second time she went it was due to 'exhaustion' - people may not be so forgiving the second time).

Guess it depends on what you think of as cool. Which varies, no? Currently I think Serena Williams is cool. Others may disagree. It makes for distraction. I don't see the point in getting angry about it.

All I can see here are the comparisons to various forms of coke! 😂

I'm less stringently anti-drug than many on this site, but no-one who does cocaine is good person. I used to work with a specialist in South American economics whose favourite line to tell the new undergrads was, 'Cocaine should be red because there's blood on every gram'.

@IcedPurple

According to the Vogue interview, Lila is about to start a design course in New York and is very serious & studious, so perhaps the modeling was a just a bit of fun during her gap year.
