Kate Moss is one of the ultimate '90s icons. Known for her iconic runway walks and her partnerships with some of the biggest fashion names in the industry, Moss was a symbol of fashion's chaotic but luxurious allure. Now, a movie based on her life is in development. Here's all we know about the project:
It will explore one of Moss' most important relationships
Kate Moss' movie will be centered on her relationship with the painter Lucien Freud, the grandson of the father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud. In the early 2000s, the two developed a professional relationship that greatly impacted their lives, with Freud being emblematically picky with his subjects and deciding that he wanted to make Moss the muse of one of his nude paintings. Their work together lasted nine months and took place while Moss was pregnant with her daughter Lila.
Moss has discussed her relationship with Freud in the past, sharing that she has a tattoo of a bird on her leg made by the painter. “I’m still probably the only living person with a Lucian Freud on my thigh,” she said on a BBC Radio program. The film is called "Moss & Freud" and will be directed by James Lucas.
Who's cast?
"Moss & Freud" will star Ellie Bamber and Derek Jacobi in the roles of Moss and Freud.
Moss and Freud's estate are serving as the film's producers, ensuring that the story is an accurate depiction of their friendship.
Moss' notorious personal life
Aside from her beauty, Moss' personal life was also the subject of great intrigue and interest. Over the years, she's dated some notorious men, none more so than Johnny Depp. The two were in a relationship for four years, with them making many memorable red carpet appearances and paparazzi trailing their lives. Other men she dated included Pete Doherty, Jamie Hince, and more, with Moss having a preference for musicians and artists.
Why was she one of the biggest icons of her time?
Moss' career began when she was 15 years old, after she was handpicked by John Galiano to walk in one of his shows. While Moss wasn't as tall and statuesque as some of the models of the era, she had so much presence that it didn't matter, pushing the boundaries of what was possible with the profession.
Through her career, Moss walked some of the world's biggest runways for designers like Alexander McQueen and brands like Calvin Klein and Marc Jacobs.
