At 13, Kate Moss, a good kid from the suburbs of London, got drunk on beer with her friends. Twenty years later, she would have enough to treat herself to champagne baths every evening, but continues to squat the pub downstairs with her boyfriend of the moment. The message is clear: “I have remained the same. In this frantic race for authenticity, the little thing of the big names in fashion has made his sentimental life the media means of not denying his modest origins and his popular culture embodied by rock . Suddenly,she pamper with their billionaire companions, Kate drags her boots through the mud of the festivals, always flanked by a musician in full descent, the flagship accessory of her bad girl outfit. Or how to stay on the fringes of a system whose codes she despises
The trigger.Mario Sorrenti is the one who revealed his beauty. In the early 90s, he, the young Italian photographer, met the frail Kate Moss, a model since she was 14, whom he had just shot for The Face . They fall in love. He immortalizes it. These shots, Calvin Klein will use them for the campaign of its perfume Obsession. Legendary… and who will propel her to the top. “We were both starting our careers and never imagined the consequences of this campaign. Calvin Klein had rented us a house on an island so that we could take pictures. It was amazing to share this with my boyfriend. A dream job for us, simply ,” Kate recalled to Vogue .
Rebel Generation . In 1994, at the age of 20, Kate Moss fell in love with the new darling of Hollywood, Johnny Depp , met at Café Tabac, a bar in New York. He is ten years older than her. The one we nicknamed La Brindille succumbs to the bad boy with whom she forms a glamorous, even iconic couple. Their relationship, passionate, often violent (it seems that some hotel rooms still remember their passage…), lasts four years – he leaves her for Vanessa Paradis . “He took care of me. I believed what he told me, he advised me. That’s what I missed the most when I left , Kate said .I lost the opinion of someone I could trust. A nightmare. Years and years of crying. Oh, the tears! The terrible ex-lovers were reunited in 2013 by Paul McCartney in the music video for his song Queenie Eye .
Father and daughter . It was in 2001 that Kate Moss met Jefferson Hack , the co-founder and editor of Dazed & Confused magazine . The following year, the couple welcomed a baby girl, Lila Grace, who chose to follow her mother’s path and pursue a career in fashion . Jefferson and Kate separated in 2004.

A “I love you, I love you, I love you” left on Kate’s answering machine and picked up by a Mirror reporter .
In troubled waters . In January 2005, while celebrating her 31st birthday, the supermodel fell in love with Pete Doherty, singer and guitarist of the group Babyshambles. And with a “dirty” reputation… A rowdy relationship, based on “sex, drugs and rock’n’roll” (we still remember the ” Cocaine Kate ” scandal which made him lose some contracts… and win others) , and which ends two years later, in 2007. To the great regret of the rocker: “It was not an easy love. In a different world, at a different time, if we hadn’t become famous, maybe it could have worked. But with all these people around us, that was not possible. They didn’t want to see us together.”he said in 2013 .
Heart of rocker . Kate Moss then falls into the arms of Jamie Hince , another musician, who plays for the group The Kills. A great first for Kate: in July 2011, in a small town deep in the English countryside, Kate said “yes” to Jamie. For life ? Not really. In 2015, they put an end to their story. Again, Kate’s celebrity will have been hard to bear for her companion: “With my marriage, my private life was very pressurized, overexposed, kidnapped. I didn’t recognize the person the press was portraying. As if I were someone else. It stripped me a lot and affected me a lot , ” Jamie told Liberation in 2016.
The youthful look . Since the fall of 2015, Kate Moss has been inseparable from Nikolai von Bismarck , thirteen years her junior and son of her good friend Debonnaire (yes, said Debbie). A young count, great-great-grandson of Prince (and Chancellor) Otto von Bismarck, photographer by profession, aristocratic, trendy, close to Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, and who has had a few drug addiction treatments to his credit… But together, they are done with the pranks.
