Kate Moss explains why she doesn't attend fashion shows anymore

Kate Moss is one of the most iconic models of this generation. An original super, Moss has graced the cover of virtually every fashion bible after a rapid ascension to the top of the fashion industry. 

Her cult legacy is also built upon stories of wild partying, a world away from the clean-eating, clean-living obsessed models who champion lifestyles based more on determined abstaining than indulging. 

In a nostalgic interview with the Globe and Mail, Moss praised the nineties and noughties as the pinnacle of runway fashion. "I was just saying those were the days, weren’t they? It was so much fun! " 

Her absence from fashion shows is one related to catering decisions, she explained. 

“Yeah, I still have fun when I do shoots. I don’t do fashion shows, obviously, because the last time I went to a fashion show, I asked for a glass of Champagne and they didn’t have any! The nerve! It’s just a completely different world now; the girls get up and go swimming at six in the morning.”

Moss once described her phenomenal ability to keep even the most well-intentioned person out well past their bed-time during an interview with Vanity Fair in 2012. 

“People that don’t know me get Mossed," she explained. "It means, I was gonna go home, but then I just got led astray. In the best possible way, of course. I mean, it’s always fun, and a good time.”
