Katherine Moss (born January 16, 1974), is an English model who was
once the "Face of Calvin Klein." She was born in Addiscombe, London
Borough of Croydon, England.
Moss was discovered at the age of 14 by Sarah Doukas (the founder of
Storm Model Agency) in 1988, at JFK Airport in New York City. Moss
then went on to become the anti-supermodel of the 90's. She ushered in
the waif look (while prompting much speculation over her weight) with
a highly publicized campaign for Calvin Klein, particularly for posing
nude in ads for its perfume brand, Obsession. Storm Model Agency lists
Moss as being 5' 8" but it is widely known that she is shorter than
that, about 5' 6". Twiggy, a famous model during the 1960s who is 5'
4", even wrote in her autobiography that she and Moss are about the
same height. Despite this apparent disadvantage, Moss charmed the
fashion industry and has walked/campaigned for such elite houses as
Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, Versace, Chanel, Missoni, and
David Yurman. Now in her 30s, Moss has still been working and has
become a "supermodel" in her own right. In September 2005, after she
was filmed while allegedly cutting and inhaling cocaine, many of her
sponsors disassociated themselves.
