Miss Moss: A love letter

Love comes and goes. Obsessions fade and sooner or later you move on to The Next Big Thing. However, my love for Kate Moss is pretty unconditional. I'm not fussed by a cocaine scandal, her love of fur or the fact that she's supposedly not a great mother. She's not here to be a spokesperson for drug use, an animal rights advocate or a shining example of motherhood. Kate is is the public eye because she's a model. And damn, does she do that well. The faults I often complain about in other celebrities are forgiven when it comes to Miss Moss. Because she's just so great at what she does. In terms of models, it's often a short-lived life in the spotlight. There's always someone edgier, more unique and exciting who takes center stage. But along with the likes of Naomi Campbell, Elle McPherson and Linda Evangelista, Kate has proven that just because you've been doing it for awhile, doesn't mean you're obsolete.

But more so then her staying power, I love Kate for her talent, on the runway, in front of a camera and in her day-to-day dress. She's the epitome of stylish, getting it oh-so-right every time, even when she gets it 'wrong'. Miss Moss is a fashion chameleon, able to change her look to reflect trends, seasons and settings. While weathering drug scandals, man troubles (Pete Doherty, anyone?) and raising a young child she still manages to look effortlessly hip, creating her own trends in achingly cool, lust-worthy threads.

Ever since this picture my lust for leather pants has been insatiable. And perhaps, for the thighs to fit into them.

Skinny jeans and gumboots aren't exactly revolutionary at festivals. But when you're Kate Moss, you wear them better.

Bitchin'. Even if it is for Just Cavalli.

Being lovely.

And wow. You're amazing.

And not that I need another reason to love her but dating Jamie Hince and having a jealousy fuelled relationship with his bandmate (and my ultimate girlcrush) Alison Mosshart, makes Kate even cooler.

Yours, in awe
