I Donna Karan's model/muse. She appears in almost all of the Karan

President of the United States and still wasn't afraid to show a
little cleavage and a little leg.

Hair: long red, later very short black
Bust-waist-hips: 31-20-30, later 34b-25-35
Kristen was a fairly normal model, basically just another beautiful
face. However, without any trademark, her career was a disaster.
About a year ago, she cut and dyed her hair, and shaved off her
eyebrows. Since then she's been doing much better. She has been
described as an antimodel, and is typical of the grunge models.
Her Sprite Ad has gotten attention from a group wanting to stop the
glorification of the Waif image. Had a child this past year who
has also appeared in some of her photo shoots. Still working hard.
Moffat, Peggy

Moore, Demi

London SW3 3TD (tel. +44 1713 767 464)
Favourite Food: Fresh sardines.
One of the more controversial supermodels, primarily because
of her unusually low weight during the early part of her
career. (she typified the "waif" models). Some people feel
she is unattractively thin, and fear idolizing her may cause
anorexia in impressionable teenage girls. However, she also
has a large number of fans, and receives a large number of
modeling jobs.
Her contract with Calvin Klein is supposedly worth over 1
million. Her unusual appearance (and possibly her
willingness to appear nude, "It's just work") have, in a
very short time, made her almost as widely recognized as
Cindy Crawford. She is a little too short and thin to model
clothes designed for the "standard" model's build. This
makes her less versatile and may limit her career's
lifespan. She appeared in an '89 British sexploitation
film "The Inferno". She chain smokes Marlboros. She has
broken with her photographer boyfriend, Mario Sorrenti, and
is currently involved in a 'long term' relationship with
actor, Johnny Depp.
Kate has recently (May 1995) published a hardback picture
book called 'Kate' which is made up of pictures chosen by
herself. This book is published in the UK by Pavilion Books
Limited.
The book reference number is ISBN 1 85793 685X and is
available in the UK from May 95 and is supposedly available
in the US in August 95.
There exists at least two picture series' of JPG images of
Kate, called KATENR##.JPG and also KMOSS###.JPG, both done
by Neil Rodgers with the 'almost' famous 'GAP ON!' logo.
Most of these images and many others are available from WWW
site http://marlowe.wimsey.com/~jamacht/Kate/Pictures/
Kate's favourite designers are John Galliano, Helmut Lang,
Martin Margiela and Vivienne Westwood.
Kate has recently purchased a house in the Sheperds Bush
area of London (May 95)
alt.fan.kate-moss and alt.binaries.kate-moss (sp) either exist or
are being created by her fans to make it easier to find info on her.
