"The Next Kate Moss"

[bismarck]

I disagree, personally. Adriana Lima hasn't influenced the fashion industry, she isn't a muse of anyone etc. I just don't see how you could say she's is the face of our decade. Some people don't even know who she is or have seen her. I can't see her as important and special enough as a model to possibly be considered that.

I wouldn't say she's as big as Twiggy was, but in the present, she's definitely a huge model. I don't think the fashion industry is as big a cultural force as it used to be either, so it hardly matters to me that Chanel etc. isn't picking her up...fashion used to make headlines (Dior's New Look, for example) and be more than just borrowed ideas and corporate entities. I think for who we, or at least the USA, are right now, she's pretty representative of it.

But then again, Kate Moss is still Kate Moss, so I guess I would have to disagree with my original post anyway. Adriana Lima is the only model who even comes close though, except instead of being a fashion icon, she's a symbol of our decade's multi-ethnic standard of beauty and sex-fixation. (Also, one of my friends doesn't even know what Kate Moss looks like, but she definitely knows Adriana Lima--although she cares even less about VS than she does about fashion. It's not that extreme everywhere, but I would say Lima's pretty famous.)

I'd say in my humble opinion that Natalia Vodianova represents that. Every decade Calvin chooses one in the 80's it was Brooke Shields in the 90's it was Kate moss. Nat is different from any model that had come before. She was Russian, I believe that's why she made it so big. It;s extremely hard to be a model coming from a country that already gave its gift to the fashion world. Like Gisele she represents the glamourumas from Brasil no other way around that. Kate is British she represents the style of it. Hmm..and Nat represents the Russian beauty delicate yet cold. Humble, yet succesful. That's who I think is the face of the decade. She's been a muse to Tom Ford and Francisco. Well...in my humbleness.

^ Totally agree with you Larien.

The only one who MIGHT deserve this " new Kate Moss" title is Agy Deyn, and that's only because she looks like she's gonna steal Kate's tabloid time!

Charo (ford) dubbed as the Asian Kate MOss

When Kate started, she was dubbed the new Twiggy, agyness was the new kate, Cindy crawford was the new Gia, kendra is the new Cindy, sasha was the new Gemma etc etc..if they make it, they will have their own identity and people will forget they were ever the new anyone!!

I think there won't be a "Next Kate Moss"
Kate is a supermodel, very unique, I'd rather love to see the real Kate than any poor copy of her. Each model should have their own personality and look, not try to fit into anyone else's style or copy any supermodel.

That's so stupid to say.."The next Kate Moss" or anything like it... I am not saying, with this, that she's more beautiful than the others..I personally, have a whole bunch of models that are for me better than Kate, but it's just stupid to say the next one...She's one and only and so is Lily C., Agyness D or Lily D. which are all doubt to be -the next ones-...
Love all pics above...

There's never gonna be another Kate Moss. She's one of a kind. It really bugs me when any models who is discovered by an agent at Storm or is British is called 'the new Kate Moss'.

No one will be "the next Kate Moss". Kate is only.

 

[xerq]

with all her baggage who the hell would actually want to be the next kate moss?

I hate all those "next Kate Moss' references to any hot British model. There will never be another Kate Moss. She is the one of a kind anti-supermodel who can bring magic to pictures most models don't even dream of having. ^And she was also stunningly beautiful when she was young
The press can make it seem like there can be only 1 British supermodel or top model.
