She’s one of Britain’s most successful supermodels but Kate Moss may not be too different to the rest of us her daughter Lila has revealed in a very candid interview.
Speaking to British Vogue, which features her on the cover of the upcoming May issue, Lila Moss described her mum as 'old and boring' and let slip she lives in tracksuit bottoms at home but 'doesn't want anyone to know.'
Lila said she has come to realise her mum's style is 'actually really cool' as she lives in leisurewear behind closed doors.
“She doesn’t have a good trackies selection. She only has pyjamas," laughed Lila.
“She probably would hate me saying that! She doesn’t want anyone to know she wears trackies!"
Lila, who is a budding model herself, also told the mag that she steals her mum's fancy Saint Laurent coats and her Chanel 2.55 bags
Kate, now 48, became one of the most in demand models on the planet after being discovered by a modelling scout at the age of 14.
Despite the huge success Kate has achieved, she was less keen for a young Lila to follow in her footsteps.
Lila explained: “My mum always put me off [modelling]. She was always like: ‘If you wanna do it, you can, but I wouldn’t recommend it.”
But Lila was young when she realised her mum was famous, and young when she, too, felt drawn to a career in modelling.
Lila said that she realised her mum was famous when she was eight-years-old and school pals would comment "Oh, your mum's Kate Moss!".
But to young Lila her mum was old and boring and she simply didn't understand why the whole world was interested in her and photographers would desperately try and snap photos of her when they went out,
But she felt drawn to her mum's job and by the time she was 15, she'd landed her first major campaign and was set to be photographed for Marc Jacobs - and guided through the process by Kate.
Conscious of the 'massive pressure' put on young models, Kate launched her own talent agency in 2017, and soon signed Lila and her best friend Stella, to support young models starting out in the industry.
She was acutely aware of how she'd felt “traumatised” by some of her early campaigns – especially having to straddle a topless Mark Wahlberg for a Calvin Klein campaign 30 years ago - and didn't want young models to feel pushed into situations they didn't feel comfortable with.
Since her first campaign at age 15, Lila, whose father is Jefferson Hack, the creator of independent media company Dazed Media, has gone on to model for a range of top brands, and also starred in Miu Miu’s spring/summer 2020 campaign.
She later made her runway debut at Paris Fashion Week, opening for Miu Miu’s spring/summer 2021 collection.
When not walking the runway, or shooting top campaigns for fashion houses, perfume brands and magazines, Lila loves relaxing at home with mum Kate and watching crime dramas on Netflix.
She said she and her mum's favourite series is Law & Order, but all kind of crime shows get a big tick from the pair.
