Kate Moss

Kate, 32, stayed at the exclusive Huvafen Fushi hotel, situated on a remote island, with close friends Sadie Frost, British actress Davinia Murphy and Oasis star Noel Gallagher’s ex-wife Meg Matthews. The catwalk queen stayed in a £2,000-a-night suite, paid £150-a-day for her own personal butler and forked out for numerous health treatments, ranging from seaweed wraps to coconut rubs.

A friend said: "Kate has turned a corner. She is thinking about herself, about the way she looks and about who she is as a model and style icon. "She says to remain on top at her age and in her job she has to be 100 per cent, and by the time she left she was really happy and looking amazing."

Kate signed a £1 million deal with Belstaff - July 17, 2020
Kate Moss has signed a £1 million advertising deal with clothing company Belstaff. The lucrative deal is the fifth major contract the supermodel has secured since pictures of her snorting cocaine were published last year. Moss will appear in a black-and-white print campaign to advertise the firm’s designer leather motorbike jackets. Belstaff, famed for its classic biking leathers, was once British but is now based in Italy.

A source said: "We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrity." The new deal will push the 32-year-old catwalk queen’s earnings up to around £12 million. Since her cocaine scandal last September, Moss’ earnings have soared. In the wake of the expose the British model was dropped by a number of top fashion houses including H+M and Roberto Cavalli.

But now the mum-of-one is now back in favour with the fashion industry and has signed new deals with, among others, Burberry, Calvin, Klein and Virgin Mobile - contracts that are believed to worth around £11 million. The astonishing figure is over five times Kate’s earnings back in 2005 when profits for her company, Skate Enterprises, were just £1.3 million.

Kate is the new face of Burberry - June 27, 2020
Kate Moss has become the new face of Burberry - nine months after bosses axed her. The British fashion house quickly distanced itself from the supermodel last year, after pictures apparently showing her snorting cocaine were published.

Moss has now been reunited with Burberry and will front the 2006 autumn/winter campaign for label. The advertisement, shot by Mario Testino, shows the catwalk beauty dressed in a white lace trench coat standing defiantly in front of fellow models Stella Tenant, Otis and Issac Ferry on a rooftop. Since Moss was welcomed back into the fashion world after spending time in a drug rehabilitation centre, anti-drug campaigners have been critical about the industry’s willingness to quickly forgive the shamed model.

Peter Stoker, director of the Drug Prevention Alliance, told the Daily Mail newspaper: "Burberry could have publicly said that what Kate Moss did had influenced an awful people and she should straighten up her act, whereas instead they’re trivialising the impact of drug use." Burberry was not the only company to cancel planned projects with the supermodel following the cocaine scandal. H+M and Roberto Cavalli both ditched Moss, sending her career into freefall.

However, Burberry, famous for its check motif, was careful not to sever all ties with the model, and she was invited to their 150th birthday celebration earlier this year. A spokesman said at the time: "Kate is part of the Burberry family and it is only natural that she should be here."

Biography

In 1988, Kate Moss was discovered by Sarah Doukas, the founder of Storm model agency, at JFK airport at the age of just 14, as she prepared to board a flight home to London with her father.

After a series of shoots for teenage magazines, it was Harper’s Bazaar that finally launched her into the international arena. In 1992, she became the Face of Calvin Klein. Moss originally spearheaded the controversial "waif" look which critics claimed encouraged anorexia in impressionable teenagers. The girl from Croydon, who once said she "might’ve been a bank manager" now divides her time between London and LA, where she is often seen at The Viper Rooms, the controversial club owned by her one-time actor boyfriend Johnny Depp.

She has appeared in several notable documentaries about the fashion world and in 1995, released a hard-back book of pictures entitled simply "Kate". Having checked into London’s £300-a-day Priory Clinic in November 1998 suffering from exhaustion, Kate emerged refreshed the following January to announce that she had spent the last decade modelling "drunk". She told The Face magazine, "That’s what you do. You always have champagne before the shows. Always. Even at ten in the morning. It got to the point one time when we were [saying], ’We’re not going out without any champagne’."

Losing the Calvin Klein contract to fellow Brit Lisa Ratliffe in 1999, Kate has now taken on the status of fashion icon. In the May 2000 issue of Vogue, she played muse to a variety of the most cutting edge artists and photographers. In London she is still represented by Storm. Written in 2000
