IT'S KATE MOSS' BIRTHDAY

Posted on 16 January, 2018

We wouldn’t believe that it’s Kate Moss’ 44th birthday today if the British supermodel’s DOB wasn’t common knowledge. And she’s aged extraordinarily well, ripping up the rulebook on the old ‘mutton dress as lamb’ adage with a public style file littered with iconic looks that work at any age. There were the nearly naked slip dresses in the 90s, the now ubiquitous Glastonbury or festival look anchored by teeny-tiny denim cut-offs and skinny scarves, and she definitely helped spearhead the boho look that caught on around the mid Noughties. Previous fashion don’ts like skinny jeans, Uggs and leopard coats became dos and cool as soon as she was spotted wearing them and who could forget her sell-out Topshop collaborations or all-out birthday party outfits?

When breaking down her looks, which are actually pretty simple and personalised with her favourite accessories, you’ll have little luck figuring out why she made them so damn covetable. Could it really just be her gorgeous feline features which have graced countless campaigns and 30 British Vogue covers? Or the rock’n’roll edge she manages to imbue even the prettiest tea dress with or the fact that she wears everything just so nonchalantly. We’ll never know. She just has ‘it’, whatever ‘it’ is, and the chameleonic ability to make anything look great- check out her new Stuart Weitzman campaign with Gigi Hadid. It’s what makes her an incredible model (still in-demand after 30 years in the industry and founder of the Kate Moss Agency) and an even better style icon.
