I just don't get her....



Kate Moss..... what's the big deal? This is one supermodel who I just cannot understand how she is still going. In her early days, I appreciate that she was the most wanted thing on the planet. She's tall. She's blonde. She's thin. But now? How is she still being sought after in an industry that contains models of her age who are so much better looking than her? Example Heidi Klum.....

I could thrawl through the internet and look for rotten pictures of Ms Moss, which would be a very easy thing to do, but I feel that this would attract the 'jealousy' label. Kate Moss is a well known drug user, regardless of whether it is past or present, and is still the face of some major labels. Most recently, she has been the face of two scents which I adore, namely YSL Parisienne and BVLGARI Jasmin Noir. And then I saw her pointed face on the promo shot and was almost turned off them.....



Kate has also managed to land a spot designing for some very established companies. Her line with Topshop is always a hit and the collections she shows for them are usually quite nice and wearable, if a little too close to her own sloppy style. Her latest addition to her CV is her collection for Longchamp, which was recently released.

Although these are all admirable attributes to someone who started at 16 as a model, I think it is time Mossy hung up her modelling heels and stuck to the designing. The fact that she is tall, blonde and thin just does not cut it in the world of older models. Her teeth are brown, her hair is lack lustre and she is haunted by a drug filled background......not much of a 'model' profile anymore.....
