Why Kate Moss is still queen of grunge
It started on the festival circuit, with countless gorgeous young girls running around in whimsical little dresses and stompy boots. As we head towards autumn, they’ve added ripped tights and leather jackets to the look. Come September, be prepared for a full-on grunge revival. The grunge look first emerged in the early 1990s and saw off the glossy 1980s aesthetic that had preceded it. Grunge searched for beauty in the imperfect. It had its roots in music — Courtney Love accessorised her tattered vintage dresses with tattoos, a tiara and a bottle of Jack Daniel’s. But the grunge girl everyone really wanted to look like was Kate Moss.
Back then, she was a doll-faced, 5ft 7in ingénue from Croydon who had just starred in her first Vogue photoshoot (shot in 1993 by Corinne Day, Moss posed in mismatched pants and vests in Day’s appropriately scruffy apartment). She began dating Johnny Depp, and the pair, with their razor-sharp cheekbones, matching lank, anti-coiffed hair, were the It couple on the scene (Kurt Cobain and Love its tragic love story).
Moss’s own take on grunge — a grubby parka thrown over a petticoat slip, a laddered jumper worn as a party dress, a distressed leather biker jacket, a white Calvin Klein vest —- was everywhere. And it is a look that forms the DNA of her signature style today.
It is fitting, then, that the grunge aesthetic has been a key inspiration for Moss’s latest Topshop range. One of her favourite pieces is a black leather pencil skirt. “The shape is really lady, but the leather gives it a real grungy, cool, rock’n’roll feel, especially if you wear it with shredded tights and lived-in leather army boots,” Moss says, neatly summing up the grunge approach to styling.
“This season’s grunge is all about being creative about how you put your look together, and not necessarily spending a fortune. It’s about being a little bit surprising and very creative. I love the glamour of adding some vintage to my look, and have done for years, as it keeps things original,” she counsels.
Accessorised with laddered tights, black nails and a healthy-looking glow, grunge circa 2009 feels more grown-up and glamorous than its 1990s predecessor. This feeds our need for escapism, and keeps it relevant for women who might have tried the look the first time around, too. See Moss’s boxy, knitted tartan cardigan, gold sequined tea dress and full-length leather overcoat.
And the stompy boots are also back, although this season they’re by Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain, Alexander Wang and Camilla Skovgaard — and they’ve got 4in glamazon heels attached. Times have changed, but the grunge spirit is the same. These are clothes for the real world, with all its uncertainties and flaws. Only, this time, we’ll be wearing them with much better hair.

Kate -- the great survivor
British tabloids predicted the end of Kate Moss's modelling career as they printed unflattering pictures of her in St Tropez. But Chrissie Russell says the sassy supermodel will always be a success
In the news: Pictures of Kate Moss smoking on a St Tropez beach had the tabloid press announcing her demise. However, the supermodel is on the front page of this month's UK Vogue and Russian Vogue magazines
Several sectors of the press last week announced the demise of Kate Moss when they published pictures of the supermodel looking far from her poised best. Never mind that when she first started modelling she was 14, not 35, never mind that she was relaxing on holiday where she had every right to abandon the work-related trappings of make-up, heels and glossy hair, never mind that she actually just looked like any normal woman would under a zoom lens in the unforgiving glare of the St Tropez sun.
As far as several commentators were concerned, the wrinkles, the very, very slight tummy and the cigarette in hand were enough to proclaim Kate Moss past it -- no longer young enough or pretty enough for the world of modelling.
But anyone who believes a wrinkly photo or two will fell Ms Moss underestimates the supermodel entirely. For one thing she's on the covers of the September issues of UK Vogue, Russian Vogue and W looking as devastatingly gorgeous as ever, but more importantly her constant place in the fashion world over nearly two decades has never just been down to good genes or good luck
The vacuous look that defined her controversial, 'heroin chic' look of the 1990s masks a steely determination and ambition to succeed that lies beneath. From the very moment Moss was propelled into the limelight, after being spotted by Storm model agency in JFK airport, the odds were stacked against her staying there.
High cheek bones aside, the 14-year-old Croydon schoolgirl had very little going for her by way of matching the era's demand for curvy, bronzed, athletic models as epitomised by Cindy Crawford and Elle Macpherson.
Moss was skinny, pale and, at just 5ft 6.5ins, unforgivably short for a catwalk model.
But she worked hard at castings, sometimes attending eight a day, and made an effort to accommodate photographers' requests, even when it meant stripping down to nothing for her first Calvin Klein shoot.
The designer's 1992 campaign made her a star but its controversial raunchiness met with mixed response. Moss simultaneously found herself the darling of the fashion world and the scourge of public condemnation -- accused of encouraging everything from anorexia to paedophilia.
A more sensitive person, particularly a young teen facing criticism over body image issues, would have wilted under the spotlight but not Moss. Both in public and private the model's attitude has resolutely been that the public's problems with her are merely the public's problems -- not hers.
She's been criticised for smoking but always maintains: "it's part of who I am", she's been attacked by PETA for her continued support of wearing fur but refuses to join the anti-fur bandwagon, she's been constantly at the centre of allegations over a bed-hopping sex life but never makes any effort to explain herself.
Most public commentators had the model consigned to fame's graveyard after her infamous drugs scandal in 2005. Mobile phone pictures were published of Moss allegedly snorting cocaine at a recording event for her then boyfriend's band Babyshambles.
The public bayed for blood and several fashion houses, though not all, dutifully dropped Moss from their contracts. But less than 12 months later she had been through intensive rehab, put druggie boyfriend Pete Doherty on the backburner and was back earning almost twice as much money as before, working with many of the fashion houses that had dropped her. A statement released from Moss over the cocaine allegations apologised for the events and accepted responsibility for her actions but the contrite tone was off set by a tongue-in-cheek ad which she appeared in for Vodafone, playing on the theme of lost contracts.
And when criticised for living a wild party lifestyle her retaliation was to play on the image to launch an anti-fatigue make-up line for Rimmel London.
Whatever her critics think of her, no-one can deny that Kate Moss is adept at taking lemons and making first class lemonade.
But there's more to her than an ability to spin a situation. In the past she has said: "People think your success is just a matter of having a pretty face. But it's easy to be chewed up and spat out. You've got to stay ahead of the game to be able to stay in it." The St Tropez pictures may have launched a public debate on whether Moss is past her modelling prime but its something the mum-of-one has been considering for sometime -- and ensuring she stays one step ahead.
In 2007 Moss released a perfume and this year will bring out her fourth fragrance and a hair care line in association with James Brown. Also in 2007 she joined forces with fellow Croydon alumnus, Sir Philip Green, to launch a fashion collection with Top Shop. Moss says the decision came after realising that, when a paparazzi shot appeared in a newspaper, girls would often look to emulate her look. A design label merely took out the middle man and guaranteed her a slice of the pie.
After the first season Moss also took on modelling the clothes herself in ads, saying simply: "I sell."
She's not the only one who still recognises her brand potential. Entertainment svengali Simon Cowell seems unlikely to let a bad photo dull his enthusiasm for snaring the supermodel as an intricate cog in his new project, heralded as an enterprise to rival Disney. Along with Cowell and Philip Green the business is being lauded as a brand that will span the worlds of entertainment and fashion with Moss in the role of 'Director of Style'.
It's reported that her first duty in the position will be assisting Louis Walsh in the act picking stage of this year's X-Factor -- marking a rare foray into television for the model.
The new business opportunity for Moss could also see her more than double her current €46m fortune-raising it closer to the €100m mark.
Far from marking the end of her career, the St Tropez photos look far more likely to be the harbinger of a new Moss high because the supermodel lives and thrives by two mantras -- there's no such thing as bad publicity and the best form of revenge is a massive success.
