KATE

"I can only say that the best revenge is success."

The lightning rod for any number of anxious controversies in the halcyon days of the cynical and ridiculous early 1990s, Kate Moss was the supermodel who broke the runway reign of glowing, Amazonian super-women and ushered in the heyday of the slouching, tousled, brittle-boned, short (!), cigarette-smoking aesthetic of dissatisfaction. Or so it was said. Blamed for being pretty in a way deemed somehow suspect, a dangerous inspiration to adoring fans, unhealthy, ineffably depraved – in a word, English – Moss's was the face of a thousand billboards, the shoulders of a thousand shrugs, the frozen scowl of a thousand magazine covers. Why did she, of all models, provoke such frenzy and fury and censorious cultural criticism? Whence the great Waif Panic? Why DID everyone wear so much CK One all the time? "It's none of my business," writes Kate Moss, wisely.
