Just Where Would the World Be Without Kate Moss?

Ms. Katherine Ann Moss, aka Kate Moss, is everyone's favorite bad-girl supermodel. She's the Brit that won't quit. Kate Moss has truly revolutionized the definition of style, while simultaneously making us hate ourselves. How does this little lady accomplish such a feat? That's it--she's little. In fact, Moss made her stamp on the fashion world by popularizing the heroin chic look in the '90s. If you don't recall this fad, it essentially involved being so thin, you looked like you were strung out on heroin, but still looking chic at the same time.

Anyway, Kate was born in London on January 16, 1974...which means she's 34 years old!!! I wanna know her skin care secrets because I'm only 19 and she looks younger than me. Kate was discovered at the ripe age of 14 in an airport and the rest...is history.

Now she's a juggernaut of fashion, one of the highest-paid models in history, and the mother of a 5 year old daughter. Aside from her personal woes (the cocaine scandal), Moss has remained a revolutionary fashion icon because not only has she been on top of just about every best-dressed list, but she's also responsible for beaucoup celebrity fashion trends. The first one being Uggs.

When I first saw these cuddly boots a few years ago, I thought they were wretched. Then (like two seconds later), I fell in love with them. Thank you Kate Moss. Here is the original devotee...and some fabulous copycats (Eva Longoria and Jennifer Aniston).

She also made denim cut-off short shorts pretty famous. Check her out in a $165.00 pair from Siwy Denim.

You could also credit Kate Moss for bringing back the over-the-knee high boot...and I do. Pairing skinny jeans with high boots not only accentuates her waifish body frame, it makes her look taller. Here she is wearing a pair of oh-so-chic Stuart Weitzmans.

Last but not least, she made it cool to wair high-waisted jeans.
