There’s no doubt about it; Kate Moss has talent. Having started her modelling career at age 14, she is one of the most successful models of all time, whether it was being one of TIME’s world’s 100 most influential people in 2007 or coming second on the Forbes top-earning models list in 2012.

And now, Moss wants to share her success, having announced the launch of a talent agency of her own.

After having left the agency that discovered her - Storm Models - earlier this year, on the fourth day of London Fashion Week it was announced that she is launching the Kate Moss Agency.

Moss told Business of Fashion that as well as emerging models, the Agency will hire singers and actors.

“It’s a dream! It’s so weird,” she said.

“You know that film Gia? Faye Dunaway plays the agent. I could so do that! But I want to focus more on managing people’s careers than just [running] a modelling agency.

“I don’t really want pretty people, I want people that want to sing and dance and act — I want to create stars.”

So far Moss has been building a small team to work alongside Lucy Baxter, who was her long-time booking agent at Storm. Baxter also left the company earlier this year.

“For them I think it was still about money, whereas I’d rather do something I was really proud of as a product rather than the ka-ching,” Moss explained.

“As a modelling agency, they book models to do a job. You’re not as associated with the brand, you’re just the face-of.

“But to do a collaboration and put your name on a product is a big thing for me. It’s something I need to believe in.”

Moss will also be expanding her lifestyle brand with several new collaborations and projects expected to roll out this year.

The Kate Moss Agency’s social media presence is pretty sparse so far - but it’s worth keeping an eye on its Instagram account.
