Style Icon: Kate Moss

 Young Kate got her big break in the early nineties after working for Calvin Klein. However, things got a lot bigger than anyone thought it would. Kate Moss did not only become a famous supermodel, but she redefined beauty and style for a whole generation. 

The era of the glamour and exquisitely beautiful top models such as Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista and many more slowly began to fade, and thanks to Kate, the heroin chic style came into scene. 

  

  

Her edgy, rock chic look still does not hide her fragilility and the innocent look in her eyes which form a nice contrast to her violent yet glamorous image. 

So, what style lessons can we learn from Kate? 

Firstly, she teaches us to use grace and confidence in whatever we wear. Kate does not fake it. Whatever she does, she gives the impression that it is her most natural form, and this is one of the reasons to why she became so hugely successful in her career. 

  
Balancing rebellion and grace is not a easy thing to do. Here are some tips for you to follow to get the Kate look:

1. Don’t overdress. Less is more.

2. Get her signature hairstyle by adding some light beachy waves. You can easily achieve this without heat by just putting your hair in a bun after washing (make sure it’s slightly damp, not wet) and applying some hairspray if needed. 

3. If you’re looking for a more dramatic look, why not use a black smokey eye with a light brown, nude lipstick? Its super trendy now, and very à lá Kate Moss! 

4. Fur coats and a little black dress speaks volumes when attending a more glamorous event.

5. And last but not least, never forget to walk with confidence no matter what you wear.
