I hope she will come back very soon in magazines and ads. After her rehab in 1998-1999, I read in so many magazine that she was over. And she made an amazing come-back with her new haircut and some curves around her thigh in 2001 or so.

The fashion industry need Kate! Without her, it's so boring. All the models look alike with make up and hairbrush but there's only one Kate Moss.
Go Kate! You're the best!

Did Kate Moss Stash Her Stuff in a Balenciaga Bag?

Did Kate Moss stash her stash in a droopy, squashy Balenciaga bag? If she did, she is in good company—all during Fashion Week we saw editors brandishing various versions of these saggy sacks, though we can't vouch for the fact that they concealed any anything stronger than Valium or Mylanta. But you don't have to be a drug-addled supermodel—who no doubt gets her purses for free—or a desperate fashionista willing to spend over $1000 to carry the carryall of the season (what W magazine recently dubbed, in a rare flash of wit, "A Bag Called It.") We are thrilled to report that we're seeing ersatz Balenciagas all over town these days: There's one in the window of Strawberry on Union Square, several good examples at the frenetic Foxy Lady on 14th Street, a rack of miniature models across from the escalators at the Astor Place Kmart, and still others for 10 bucks from a guy selling stuff from a cardboard box on the sidewalk across from Penn Station.
But what exactly does this have to do with poor Kate, you might ask? Plenty. Moss, as has been widely reported, has just been dumped from the H&M ad campaign for her pal Stella McCartney's collaboration with that proudly downmarket venue, and Burberry and Chanel, two of her rather more exalted employers, are purportedly sick of her too—all just because she was photographed doing a line at a party.
Which got us thinking: But isn't Kate's louche, vaguely dirty-girl glamour what these advertisers are paying big bucks for in the first place? We have always thought that the success of the Balenciaga bag, along with other récherché styles of the moment, is due to its echo of '60s chic, exemplified not just by its languid fringes, but by the fact that it's made of the kind of thin hyde which first gained currency during the Summer of Love. (Back in those days this cheap leather was imported from Afghanistan, along with those famous Afghan coats, so odoriferous you had to keep them on the fire escape.) That's why everyone from an 80-year-old dowager, too old for the '60s the first time around, to her 14-year-old grandchild, wants the Balenciaga bag, real or fake: Drug use notwithstanding, this is a bag that says "Swing my fringe and you're a swinger."
Still, make no mistake: What made the famous '60s icons who wore this stuff the first time around—dead waifs like Talitha Getty and Edie Sedgwick—so desperately alluring, so powerfully seductive can be explained in one word—drugs.
We believe that huge, mega-million dollar fashion houses craved the frisson of cool they got when they hired Kate, just the way it was fun to hang out with the bad kids in high school. Until, of course, the party got too rough, and like H&M, Burberry, and Chanel, you called your dad to get you the hell out of there.

MOSS DOES DIOR: Kate Moss is set to make her first editorial appearance since the cxxxxx abuse allegations that last week caused several brands to drop her from their ads. The inaugural issue of Another Man, edited by Moss' former boyfriend — and the father of her daughter — Jefferson Hack, features a 10-page fashion shoot of Moss dressed in Dior Homme's fall 2006 collection. The feature was shot by Willy Vanderperre. Another Man, a spin-off of the women's fashion title Another Magazine, will hit U.K. newsstands Oct. 6. "I'm not sure if the magazine was printed [before or after the allegations], though the shoot was done earlier in the year," said Alasdair MacGregor, p.r. manager for the Dazed & Confused group, founded by Hack, which publishes Another and Dazed & Confused magazines. MacGregor said the group wasn't in the least concerned about the shoot, in light of Moss' recent bad press. "Absolutely not. It's a beautiful shoot," he said. Another Man also features a mix of art, writing, music and fashion. Contributors include Craig McDean, Tracey Emin, Anthony Haden Guest and Nick Knight. Meanwhile, a spokesman for Dior on Tuesday declined to comment on whether the company plans to continue working with Moss on its advertising campaigns.

Well I walked past Dior in Via Montenapoleone in Milano earlier on Monday and the eight foot high graphics of Kate were still in the window. It would be a bit 'pot and kettle' for Dior to drop Kate - Mr Galliano had a reputation for being a bit of a caner in the past, after all......
