The supermodel is quite a controversial figure. Once upon a time, it was pretty loud about her relationship with Johnny Depp. The pair met in New York in the famous bar Café Tabac. The American actor was starting his professional career, whereas Kate Moss climbed the career ladder.
The entire media was talking about the relationship between the two celebrities. They were both considered rebels and… drug addicts. The model struggled with severe heroin addiction at the time. The pair often hit the headlines because of numerous scandals and police interventions that accompanied them.
Finally, Moss and Johnny Depp separated in 1998. Moss decided to go to rehab and, trying to put the debilitating relationship behind him, and Johnny Depp quickly hooked up with the phenomenal Vanessa Paradis.
Kate Moss and Pete Doherty
Kate Moss’ next partner was musician Pete Doherty. The pair were even engaged, but the relationship did not stand the test of time. Supermodel again returned to addiction, which caused her to lose many important contracts.
The approach to life completely changed when, following a soon-to-be relationship with journalist Jefferson Hack, Moss gave birth to a child in 2002. Now her daughter Lila Grace Moss Hack, often shows up with her amidst the limelight.
Many people think that the young girl confusingly resembles her mother. No one will be surprised that the beautiful Lila Grace has already started to take her first steps in the world of fashion, and the celeb tries to support her in this decision. Later on, the model married Jamie Hince, singer of the band The Kills, back in 2011.
Nowadays, Kate is 48 years old. Therefore she has decided to look for a new activity for herself. Not a long time ago, there were some rumors that the well-known style icon would become a tattoo artist!
She has already started training under the guidance of a well-known professional, Daniel Casone. They even went on to Glastonbury Festival together, on which Kate Moss debuted in her new professional role.
Kate Moss and Count Nikolai von Bismarck
In 2015, Jamie Hince and Kate Moss decided to end their relationship, probably due in no small part to a certain Count Nikolai von Bismarck – 14 years younger than Kate Moss. Some wonder if these two are still dating today: some say yes, the others say no.
Style & Beauty: Kate Moss and the heroin chic
In her career as a model, there is hardly anyone more in demand among photographers and designers than Kate Moss: Chanel, Burberry, Dior – all the doors are open to her. This may have something to do with the fact that she is very different from what was commonly understood as a model in the 90s.
She’s not very tall, but very thin and showed herself without make-up or with dark circles under her eyes. Kate Moss says that the Heroin Chic label is associated with her; she always detested it in interviews today.
Her experiments in style are still famous today – such as the see-through slip dress she wore to the Elite Model Agency’s “Look of the Year” party in 1993. Throughout the decades, Kate Moss has been a source of fashion inspiration. Particularly when it comes to party styles, this model knows what is best combined and how.
However, also her street styles inspire her to this day. Kate Moss cleverly combines casual outfits with a certain boho flair – either elegant with a blazer or rocky with a leather jacket. Although you can’t tell by looking at her, Kate Moss turned 48 in 2021. Their daughter is already also a sought-after model, and also Kate is still in demand instead of forgotten.
