Kate Moss in 50 photos of her 50th birthday

The slender figure, the stilettos on the feet, the never far away cigarette… A thousand and one details can define Kate Moss. This January 16, the loudest British model in the world of fashion celebrates her 50th birthday. Nicknamed “La Brindille” since her inception, she was born to make a mark in the clothing industry with her style. Between her sometimes sultry conquests (Johnny Depp, Pete Doherty, Jamie Hince…) and her memorable fashion shows, Kate Moss represented a rebellious femininity, making her image the epitome of an era.

Beautiful and rebellious

What allowed Kate Moss to achieve iconic status was primarily her unique appearance. In the 1990s, she championed a rebellious spirit that supported an androgynous silhouette. His light eye, his “little” penalty seventy, his youthful presence… A lot british, a thousand miles away from the willful Claudia Schiffer or the very American Cindy Crawford. Kate Moss also owes her popularity to her special clothing style. During her crazy evenings in the heart of London, she makes slip dresses and flowy dresses, her favorite pieces. Like that night in London in 1993 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 draped over her shoulders in a striking fur coat, Lila Moss’ mom sticks to her iconic pieces; very rarely comes out. Not forgetting his minimalist campaigns for Calvin Klein in the 1990s. The famous black and white photographs that launched him helped shape the style of that decade. We remember Calvin Klein’s “CK be” unisex perfume advertisement, in which he appears at the age of 18 smiling in front of the slogan “Be good”. Be bad. You just have to.” (“Be wise. Be bad. Just be”, in French). In short, a slogan that will follow the model throughout her career, emphasizing the spontaneous nature that always attracts.
