Beautiful and rebellious
What allowed Kate Moss to achieve iconic status was first and foremost her unique look. In the 1990s, she advocated a rebellious spirit supported by an androgynous silhouette. His slight squint, his "small" seventy meters, his youthful presence... A very British look, a thousand miles away from the voluptuous Claudia Schiffer or the very American Cindy Crawford. Kate Moss also owes her popularity to a signature style of dress: during her crazy evenings in the heart of London, she makes slip dresses and flowing dresses her favorite pieces. Like that evening in 1993 in London when, aged just 19, she caused a sensation in a see-through dress that revealed her black underwear to the audience.
LISTEN TO THE PODCAST
When she's not perched on high heels or her shoulders dressed in an imposing fur coat, Lila Moss' mother stays true to her iconic pieces: slim and skinny pants, sleeveless cardigan, khaki shades and animal prints like the leopard she rarely takes off. Not to mention his minimalist campaigns for Calvin Klein in the 1990s. The famous black and white shots that launched it, helping to shape the style of this decade. We remember the Calvin Klein ad for the unisex perfume "CK be", on which, at the age of 18, she appears smiling in front of the slogan "Be good. Be bad. Just be." ("Be wise. Be bad. Juste, sois.", in French). In short, a motto that will follow the model throughout her career, highlighting a spontaneous naturalness that always fascinates.
