凯特·摩丝(Kate Ann Moss 1),1974年1月16日生于伦敦,模特。
1988年,14岁出道。2005年9月15日,每日镜报(Daily Mirror)封面爆岀她吸毒的丑闻。2005年,《名利场》杂志更是顶着压力将她作为9月号杂志的封面。2011年,参演电影《McQueen and I》(纪录片)。
 

Kate Moss was born in England in 1974. She is best known for her waifish figure, which made her into a hugely successful supermodel. She is also famous for her controversial private life, with its high-profile relationships, party lifestyle and drugs. She changed the look of modelling and started a global debate on eating disorders 2 and her role in the size zero fashion.
 
Moss became a model at the age of 14. She was at New York’s JFK Airport on her way home from a family holiday. The owner of a top modeling agency spotted 3 her and asked her to be one of her models. She hit the big time a year later when she did a photo shoot for ‘The Face’ magazine.
 
Moss changed the way models looked in the 1990s. She became a kind of anti-supermodel with her thin, pale, but very fresh and simple look. She has frequently been voted the sexiest woman in the world. She has also worked with all the top brands and designers. She is among the richest women in Britain.
 
Moss’s career has had its ups and downs. She was engaged to rock star Pete Doherty. Their break-up provided tabloid 4 headlines for months. The newspapers cashed in on a 2006 photograph of Moss taking cocaine 5. Her career was in ruins and many modeling agencies dropped her. However, the scandal only added to her fame. She earns much more now than before and is in great demand.
