Kate Moss - An icon who still turns heads after 25 years of career

Kate Moss will celebrate her 40th birthday on January 16, and as we can expect from her, she will not do anything modest. Many people from the world of fame and show business will help her with the pompous celebration.

Already on January 12, we will be able to watch an exclusive documentary about Kate Moss – Looking for Kate, which was filmed in Kate's honor at the French television program Paris Premiere. Hers timeless beauty will be immortalized also at Playboy, as they chose her as the face of their anniversary issue, which will celebrate their 60th anniversary. In addition to the cover, the almost-forty-year-old will grace an incredible 18 pages of the magazine. Kate but she is not just a model, as this year she will design a capsule collection for the English Topshop for the second time in a row, and for a while she will also occupy the fashion editor's chair at the British edition of Vogue.

Documentary film with Title "Looking for Kate" will cover all the key moments in Kate's career - even the less rosy ones. Supermodel, which is known to the whole world, scandals are no stranger to it. Let's remember, for example, the year 2000, the cocaine scandal and the stormy romance with the notorious To Pete Doherty? What is interesting about Kate is that such and different stories in the yellow media never really came to her, because even after each scandal she returned to the world of fashion and show business with even greater enthusiasm. In the documentary, we will be able to hear the stories of important insiders from the world of fashion who followed Kate throughout her fashion career. Among them will be these Isabel Marant, Paolo Roversi and Peter Lindbergh.

For the unexpected we also wrote down Kate's story. A model who, after 25 years of her career in the world of fashion, is still turning heads, definitely deserves our attention. Although Kate does not like to speak in public and does not use Twitter and similar social networks, we can say that she is undeniably one of the most famous models in the world. The daughter of an innkeeper and a travel agent, who was not born according to the typical standards of modeling legends, because with a characteristic gap between the front teeth, slightly crooked legs and a short figure, she nevertheless manages to charm everyone with her charismatic personality and incomparable sense of fashion. Kate's fashion story begins in her early years 14 years old, namely at the New York airport, where she was "discovered" by fashion agent Sarah Doukas. For young Kate, this was the turning point in her life, a moment that marked her destiny forever. She herself is of the opinion that otherwise she would probably end up like her mother. The decision to accept the offer was definitely the right one, since she has since graced 34 covers of the British edition of Vogue. Yes, the most in history.

25 years of career it is an enviable number in the world of fashion, because in such a cruel environment there is no time to rest on one's laurels. The fashion world does not tolerate boredom and Kate is one of the few who managed to stay relevant during all this time. Probably because it is like a chameleon, which sometimes manages to take over the spirit of the times, and sometimes even shapes it itself. Such, for example, are the photos taken by celebrities for the cover of Face magazine in 1990 Corinne Day, characterized the entire fashion industry. Photos of a skinny, freckled girl running "topless" and with a feather on her head on an idyllic English beach marked a new fashion era. Marc Jacobs in the reflection of this event, he says today that looking at the photos, he recognized the most unique imperfect perfect girl. Soon after, their first collaboration followed, which developed into one of the most cherished and special friendships.

After working with Marc Jacobs, which was inspired by the grunge era, Kate became an association for "heroine chic". She began to be associated with the glamorization of anorexia, which marked one of the darkest periods in her career. Despite claims that she never used heroin, Kate did not manage to get rid of her bad reputation with her most famous quote: "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels". Despite this, no one forgot about Kate and there followed a period when hardly a day passed without her photos appearing in the media. With her tumultuous life that acts like a fun game, her signature style that veers between rocker, boho and glam, and her always-perfect tousled blonde hairdo, Kate has been sparking imaginations and delighting her fans for over two decades. Her glamorous rock 'n' roll reputation stirred up the tabloid world again in 2005, when the paparazzi caught her using cocaine. Although she was never convicted of this, she lost many contracts because of the scandal. Fashion moguls Burberry, Chanel and H&M they immediately stopped working together after the event, which did not drastically affect Kate's career, as she soon returned to being one of the most sought-after models.

Few insiders say little about Kate. Famous photographer Tim Walker he's sure he's never met anyone as full of life and 100% present in the present as Kate. Marc Jacobs but he believes that Kate is not only a fashion icon, but with her immeasurable style, she is actually the embodiment of London's fashion spirit. She also has a very special bond with John Galliano, because when the entire fashion industry turned its back on him, she chose him as the designer of the wedding dress she wore for her wedding to musician Jamie Hince in 2011. Kate is rewarded for her loyalty with a solid silent, as her personal life is rarely talked about. Her friends simply adore her and they wouldn't say a sorry word about her.

Popular beauty she could write an autobiography in addition to the documentary, but when asked if we can expect it soon, she answers mysteriously that the time has not yet come. Under no circumstances is she ready to say goodbye to the fashion world. "You can't write a good story if you don't reveal all the secrets, and I won't be ready to reveal them for a long, long time...", he concludes.
