Today’s Rumor: Galliano for Topshop. Photo: Getty Images London's a hotbed of crazy rumors these days. The latest? That Sir Phillip Green's asked John Galliano to design a collection for Topshop. Poor Green. During the Cannes Film Festival Courtney Love announced that he'd begged her to do the same. The owner of London's most popular high street brand quickly refuted her claims, but now he has a whole new set to deal with. Both Green and Galliano were at Kate Moss` wedding last weekend, but they weren't talking comebacks. If Galliano is given a second chance—which many in the industry appear to want—chances are it will be something independent and niche. Les invités au mariage de Kate Moss.

For the last 20 years, Kate Moss has been the world’s most famous model, celebrated equally for her killer sense of style and striking looks. Now, at 35, her influence is more far reaching than ever, as her interests have grown to include designing a fashion line with Topshop and collaborating on a hair care brand with hairstylist James Brown, plus developing an expanding collection of fragrances with Coty. (Note to marketers: She’s also keen to work on a makeup line.) Her latest scent, dubbed Vintage, plays on her famed fashion sense and love of clothing from bygone eras. WWD Beauty Biz recently spoke with the supermodel about her very fashionable life, her myriad inspirations and why she loves being in a jam.

WWD: How do you define beauty? Kate Moss: It sounds really corny, but I think that if you’re beautiful inside, it shows on the outside for sure. WWD: What inspires you? WWD: How do you channel your creativity? WWD: Do you have a mentor? WWD: Do you have a motto? All About Kate: Fashion. Tweet share on facebook pin it share on google+ On one series of sublimely honest images, she is stripped naked, her bare body and face captured in unforgiving daguerreotypes by master artist Chuck Close. In a grouping of video stills, she is the ultimate working-class girl next door, flipping burgers and mopping up in Tom Sachs’s ironic reinvention of a McDonald’s. Through the lens of Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, she is transformed into a blushing bride—blushing perhaps because she seems to have misplaced her wedding gown, though she is armed with a strategically held bouquet.

And there she is as a nurse, a tomboy, a sex kitten with a pet monkey. How could one model inspire so many uniquely evocative visions? The most obvious explanation, of course, is that the artists and photographers charged with the task of capturing her have immense creative powers. The very notion of a muse is something of a hot button these days. Document sur "Kate Moss Machine" de Christian Salmon. Vogue Magazine's Cover Archive.

Kate Moss – the heroin chic of glory. * * Nowadays the British model earns more money than before her cocaine scandal Kate Moss is one of the most controversial persons on the world fashion scene. She has turned into an icon and she manages to provoke public opinion.

Her weak figure, the addiction to drugs and wild private life are her trademark. But what impresses the most is the ability of the British woman to get maximum profits from everything that happens to her. Moss was born in South London, England to Linda Rosina (Shepherd), a boutique manager, and Peter Edward Moss, an airline clerk. Moss' parents divorced when she was 13. She ushered in the waif look in 1993 (which prompted much speculation over her weight) with a highly publicised campaign for Calvin Klein, including posing nude.

Moss charmed the fashion industry despite being unusually short for a runway model, and has worked for many elite fashion lines. In addition to being known for her modeling work, Kate Moss is also an international fashion icon. Heroin Chic: The Fashion Phenomenon Analyzed Through the Writing of Christine Harold and Timothy Hickman. Heroin chic emerged in the 1990s as a high class fashion trend which appropriated visual imagery of heroin junkies and their environment into fashion photography. Eventually condemned as an immoral glorification of drug use with the potential to corrupt and destroy innocent youth, heroin chic ended amidst scandal and controversy. Issues concerning the exposure of the drug culture of the fashion industry, and its potential for creating an image of drug use as appealing and ‘cool’ for youth, pervaded editorials, columns and articles, with the majority of discussion focusing upon the concept that the corruption of the fashion industry and their unscrupulous morals for advertising was to blame.

It can be demonstrated, however, that many of these perceptions and explanations for the fashion trend of heroin chic have questionable validity both in their structure and evidence and through their construction of a ‘moral panic’ which continued to perpetuate the same analysis. 1.) 2.) 3.) 4.)
