In March 2007, Moss won the Sexiest Woman NME Award. Men’s magazine Arena named her as their Sexiest Woman in their 150th issue. Moss was voted 9th in Maxim’s “50 Sexiest Women of 1999” and 22nd in FHM’s “100 Sexiest Women of 1995”. This is in contrast to the “supermodels” of the moment, such as Cindy Crawford, Elle Macpherson, Claudia Schiffer, and Naomi Campbell, all of whom were known for their tall and curvaceous figures. Moss then went on to become the “anti-supermodel” of the 1990s. Kate’s career began when Corinne Day shot black-and-white photographs of her, styled by Melanie Ward, for British magazine The Face when she was 15, in a photo shoot titled “The Third Summer of Love”. Moss was discovered in 1988 at the age of 14 by Sarah Doukas, the founder of Storm Model Management, at JFK Airport in New York City after a holiday in The Bahamas. According to Fred Vermorel’s Addicted to Love: Kate Moss, “Out of eight GCSEs she scraped through with one C (in Science) and all the rest were Ds, Es and Fs”. She was not particularly noted for her academic success, although she did excel at sports. Kate attended Ridgeway Primary School and Riddlesdown High School in Purley. She has a younger brother named Mick, a half-sister and a half-brother. Kate was born in Addiscombe, Croydon, London to Linda Rosina (Shepherd), a barmaid, and Peter Edward Moss, a travel agent.
