Best Dressed of the Decade - Kate Moss



Kate Moss is a fashion icon. As one of the most recognizable faces in the industry, she graced the cover of over 90 glossy's and held countless contracts with top fashion houses such as Gucci, Roberto Cavalli, David Yurman, and Calvin Klein. This is why I would label her Best Dressed of the Decade.


She was discovered in JFK International Airport at age 14 en route home to London from family vacation in the Bahamas. Shortly thereafter she landed a modeling contract with Calvin Klein. Known as the Anti-Supermodel she is only 5'7 and pin thin; a far cry from the Glamazon's curvacious bodies of the 1980's. She is credited in ushering in the "Heroine Chic" and "Waif" look that dominated the runways in the early 1990's.

Her career accolades speak for themselves; she has been on every major runway in London, New York, Paris and Milan. She's graced the coveted Vanity Fair's Best Dressed List, Forbes ranked her the second highest earning model in 2007 and W Magazine had labeled her their muse. Even statues have been erected in her honor. Sculptor Marc Quinn created a 18 karat gold statue of Moss entitled Siren. Weighing in at 110lbs, it is the largest statue made from gold since the time of Ancient Egyptians.


Moss possess the uncanny ability to look ultra fabulous in everything that she wears. Fashionista's can thank her for bringing back pieces such as the blazer, cut off denim shorts, ankle booties and skinny jeans. She has a style that is effortless but cutting edge whether it be jeans and white tee or a vintage Christian Dior gown.
