Kate was born on January 16, 1974, in Croydon, Surrey, England. Her parents divorced when she was 15 and she has one brother, Nick, who also models.She was first spotted by model agency boss Sarah Doukas as a 14-year-old at JFK airport. Photographer Corinne Day, one of the key players of the early Nineties "grunge" period, spotted her potential and snapped the adolescent topless and wearing a native American headdress. The picture was published on the front cover of style bible The Face, and a Generation X icon was born.Moss originally spearheaded the controversial ''waif'' look which critics claimed encouraged anorexia in impressionable teenagers. Kate has graced such magazine covers as Allure and Harper's Bazaar in the US; Arena, Elle, The Face in the UK, and Vogue in American, British, Australian, Italian, and Brazilian editions.
She has even appeared in a few movies, not 2 hour cinema movies, but Ellen von Unwerth's Inferno, Elton John's Something About The Way You Look Tonight and Primal Scream's Kowalski. Peter Lindbergh wanted her in his book 10 Women and Pirelli in their 1994 calendar.

She is presently signed with three different modeling agencies-Women in New York; Marilyn in Milan; and Storm in London.
