Kate Moss named British fashion icon

KATE MOSS WILL be honoured with a Special Recognition Award at the British Fashion Awards for her prosperous career and continued influence.

The award function will be held in London tomorrow.

The 39-year-old, hailed as a fashion icon, has a career that has spanned 25 years and she has also been a great influence on the fashion industry.

“From the very beginning Kate was iconic; she never had to become a model. She has the same energy, the same seduction and the same wit - in front of the camera and with everyone, I love you Kate,” femalefirst.co.uk quoted fashion designer Donatella Versace as saying.

Moss has worked with designers including Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney, Saint Laurent, Dior and Louis Vuitton.
