I just think she looks great, leads an interesting life, lets face it; is moderately accessible to shag, more than anyone else that famous, and is proof that being thick and beautiful works.
Last year shes had more column inches than most, earned millions, had a hugely successful clothing line for top shop (a good friends mrs is the buyer for that range for Top Shop and apparently kate's "lovely"). Been made into the largest ever gold statue, had lesbian orgies and been on the cover of every magazine.
She invented/is identified with the "look" that all women and the fashion press still are following 15 years on.
Frankly shes an enigma.
Best quote I heard from someone who photographed her for Chanel was that the best advice Kate followed "was never to speak" as she sounds like vicki pollard.
She represents the last 20 years of the culture of UK to me, for good or bad.
- fucking golden. "is moderately accessible to shag". awesomeness™airey

there was a brief moment, just after she started with CK that i was mildly interested in her, but then as she got more and more media coverage, i realized its all complete bullshit..
it was like some coked up marketing exec said..
"as a joke.. lets take someone with a fit body and a paperbag worthy head, and see how far we can run with it.."sadly shortly after they started, that exec died in some sort of tragic sex accident involving a gerbil, a salami and 24 liters of motor oil.. and as a result, no one remembered to pull the plug on the whole thing

- that's too much oil...albums
- i think it was the oil that killed him (and the gerbil)autoflavour

She's very pretty, but doesn't cross the "beautiful" mark. Perhaps that's her forte. That and a very good agent.
It's not like "people love her". People don't choose the icon they admire, they are told who they love through repetition in magazines and PR statements. In our industry, this should be beyond obvious.

Everyone loves her - from Wiki: Maybe emperors new clothes but that stats are insane. Most front covers ever I believe...
Moss has had campaigns with major Italian, French, American, and British designers including Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, Versace, Calvin Klein, Roberto Cavalli, Chanel, Missoni, Longchamp, David Yurman, Dior, Yves Saint-Laurent, Burberry,Stella McCartney, Rimmel,and Bvlgari, including a campaign for the successful Brazilian label ELLUS during summer 2000.

Moss has appeared on the cover of British Vogue alone 26 times, in addition to dozens of other international Vogue covers, and has been featured on the cover of 17 issues of W, including one issue with nine different covers that featured the model. W even names Moss its muse (September 2003 issue). She has worked with the most well-known photographers in the fashion industry today, such as Mario Testino, Mario Sorrenti, Steven Klein, Juergen Teller, and Peter Lindbergh, and won the prestigious Vogue/CFDA award from the Fashion Designers of America in July 2005 as Fashion Inspiration.
Twelve months after her cocaine scandal, Moss made a comeback by bagging 18 top modelling contracts for the Autumn/Winter 2006 season: Rimmel, Agent Provocateur, Virgin Mobile, Belstaff, Beymen, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Roberto Cavalli, Longchamp, Stella McCartney, Bulgari, Chanel, Nikon, David Yurman, Versace, Mia Shvili, Calvin Klein Jeans and Burberry.
Moss also agreed to make her first foray into the design world by designing a collection, in collaboration with Katy England, for Topshop, Moss launched a fragrance and body lotion range bearing her name in association with Coty in 2007.
According to Forbes, Moss has earned more money since her cocaine scandal than ever before: her 2004–2005 earnings were $5 million[21] and her 2005–2006 earnings were $8 million. In 2007, with estimated earnings of $9 million, she was the second highest paid model in the world, behind Gisele Bündchen.

why would i need an icon?
noone needs an icon.
people need a life.
people who do drugs ALWAYS had a troubled youth and have trouble finding a life.
looking for things that DON'T exist:
a world of glamour DOES NOT exist.
it is fabricated.a world of happiness through being rich DOES NOT exist,
indeed, the hedge-funders are overworked, and in their hunger to success (of which they still assume it will bring them "happines" (oh ignorants)) they'll burn themselves out, use drugs and booze to stay afloat and end up being apathic to those actually being happy with less (calling them simple or stupid) and form a "scene" of like-minded lost souls with apathy for the thing they were actually looking for in the first place...... they shot past it as people in their twenties don't believe happiness can exist in the smaller things, so they were religiously fighting for the bigger thing, the thing that only exists in a fabricated world and will lead you ultimately alone, because you never REALLY connected to someone by means of the heart and soul. Only by fabrication.Just saying, don't take what you are doing to serious, the only thing you should take really serious in life is how you live with people. Be kind.
And if you can't loose your cynicism, you'll be lost forever.

good luck finding someone as iconic as she is, i think she's great
don't know what ya'all have a problem with... she's a model, not mother teresa
- for me personally, the criteria for a model is they should be attractive..autoflavour
- kate moss, isntautoflavour
- Attractiveness isn't criteria for being a model. Even less relevant (if possible) is your personal taste in women.nb
- it's also your subjective opinion, which is what the entire industry of fashion is based off of.doesnotexist
- yep.. she is still not that good looking
