Moss offers good conduct clause to save career
Jon Ungoed-Thomas and Lois Rogers
KATE MOSS has said she is ready to sign “good behaviour” contracts with fashion companies pledging a drug-free lifestyle after she was pictured apparently snorting cocaine in a London recording studio.
Moss is fighting to salvage her career after the revelations and is expected to hold crisis talks with fashion companies this week. She stands to lose an estimated income of more than £2m a year if her contracts are cancelled.
It emerged yesterday that H&M, the fashion retail chain, decided to keep Moss for its launch of a Stella McCartney range after she signed a document agreeing to a “healthy and wholesome” lifestyle.
“We strongly disapprove of her actions,” said an H&M spokesman, adding that Moss had been “very regretful” at a meeting with the firm.
Other fashion labels, including Burberry and Rimmel, the cosmetics company, are believed to be reviewing her contracts.
Experts say the worst scenario for Moss is a “domino effect” where one big company cancels a contract and others follow. One fashion insider said: “One of these companies might easily decide Kate is bringing their products into disrepute and refuse to use her any more. The worry for her then is whether others would follow.”
In a series of grainy photographs published in the Daily Mirror last week, Moss is shown snorting cocaine in a recording studio with her boyfriend, the singer Pete Doherty of the band Babyshambles.
Moss was secretly recorded in the studio describing how she had experienced a “whitey” (a paranoid state) from taking drugs. She also said her former drug dealer had been sectioned for life after r*ping women.
Moss is unlikely to face prosecution, despite the pledge of Sir Ian Blair, the Metropolitan police commissioner, to make “a few examples” of middle-class drug users. A police source said yesterday: “There hasn’t been a complaint and it could be difficult to find the evidence. A picture of white powder is not enough to convince a court of cocaine use.”
Moss has become a popular figure among young people and MPs insist some penalty should be imposed on her.
Ann Widdecombe, the former Tory Home Office minister, said: “It’s very concerning that the police don’t seem to be taking action. It sends out a message that if you are rich enough, you can do what the devil you like.
“The companies who employ her should consider her position.”
Moss, 31, was just 14 when she was spotted by an agent. She quickly became a top supermodel, appearing in campaigns for Calvin Klein, Versace and Yves Saint Laurent.
She checked into London’s Priory clinic in November 1998, said to be suffering from exhaustion. She told Q magazine she had been made miserable by drugs in the 1990s.
Moss has defended herself against allegations of drug use. This year, she won damages against the Sunday Mirror over false claims that she collapsed in a “cocaine coma” while in Spain for a fashion show.
Companies associated with Moss, including Dior and Chanel, have yet to say whether they will continue to use her.
Moss is also due to be guest editor for a forthcoming edition of French Vogue, which will include a free CD copy of duet she has recorded with Doherty.
I hope that's true!
