Yahoo Lifestyle11 of the best Kate Moss moments
As Mossy is honoured with an award for her contribution to fashion, we take a look at the highlights of her 25 year career
Kate Moss is to be honoured with the Special Recognition award at next week's British Fashion Awards for her pivotal role in fashion over the last 25 years.
To celebrate the 39-year-old's incredible achievement, we took a look at the 11 best moments from Mossy's illustrious career.
1. Discovered aged just 14 at JFK airport in New York, fresh-faced young Kate began a career that would see her usher in a new age of supermodel and popularise the 'waif' look.
2. Kate soon became the face of Calvin Klein appearing in a string of underwear, fragrance and denim ads for the US brand making her the poster girl of the 90s heroin chic look.
3. Of course, every supermodel needs her super hot and successful boyfriend. Kate dated heartthrob Johnny Depp from 1994-98 making her the envy of every woman over the age of 13 around the world.
4. Not only has Kate modelled for some of the biggest designers in the world, she's also something of a trendsetter herself. She basically invented festival chic after her many trips to Glastonbury saw us all reaching for the denim shorts and wellies.
5. She's always up for a laugh. The Croydon native went back to her roots for a hilarious turn as Vicky Pollard's sister in a special episode of Little Britain for Comic Relief back in 2006. The sight of Kate Moss in a tracksuit and scrunchie had us cracking up.
6. In 2007, Kate gave us all a chance to dress like a fashion icon on a much more modest budget as she announced her own clothing line with high street chain Topshop. Items including floral dresses and vest tops were quickly snapped up by Mossy fans, while Kate went on to design thirteen more collections.

7. After dating stars like Johnny and Pete Doherty, Kate finally tied the knot with The Kills' musician Jamie Hince in 2011. Held in the Gloucestershire countryside, Kate wore a 1920s inspired gown by John Galliano and celebrated with celeb pals including Jude Law and Jade Jagger.
8. Kate cemented her status as one of the world's biggest supermodels when she starred in the Closing Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics. Mossy walked the catwalk alongside fellow British fashion icons Naomi Campbell, Lily Cole and Jourdan Dunn proving to the world that us Brits are a pretty gorgeous bunch.
9. The mum-of-one has appeared in campaigns for legendary brands including Chanel, Dior and Louis Vuitton over her 25-year career. This year's latest gig saw her glow for self-tan heroes St Tropez in a series of snaps that had us all reaching for the tan in a can.
10. Kate has appeared on the cover of British Vogue a staggering 34 times, making her their most prolific cover girl. Her most recent appearance saw her embody the spirit of summer on their June 2013 cover.
11. To celebrate her 40th and their 60th, it was revealed that Mossy has posed for a special anniversary edition of Playboy to be released early 2014. The only picture we've seen so far features the model posing in the iconic bunny outfit, complete with ears and a tail. We can't wait to see the rest of the shoot...
