I am not one for the super skinny waif-like models of today, I’m really not.

I’ve always thought women were most beautiful with at least a little bit of meat on their bones, which is becoming harder and harder to find these days.

However, the woman who actually started the waif trend I have a great admiration for, and that is Kate Moss.

I’m pretty sure I heard a gasp there from some readers.

Of all the models out there, whether you like her or not, Kate Moss is one that stands out from the crowd, and she is one that has definitely left an impression on me.

Okay so she doesn’t have the best reputation, especially after the incident a few years back that involved some, shall we say, not so desirable photographs.

She has been the target of much media controversy, and the British tabloids and paparazzi in particular often target Moss.

She has always been a true fashionista, a style visionary who has started some of the hottest trends.

Ugg boots, Marc Jacobs ankle boots, Alexander McQueen’s skull scarf, skinny jeans - Kate popularized them all, and she has even brought some old styles back into popularity, including high-waisted pants and waist-cinching belts.

She is known famously for her many advertising campaigns for the likes of Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Rimmel, and also for her high-profile relationships and party lifesyle.

Still, regardless of the abundant negative press she has received, no one can deny that Kate Moss is a true style icon. Anything she wears instantly becomes fashionable, whether she is trying or not. She is the perfect combination of innocence and sex kitten - a sassy, confident woman with a style all her own.

As reported on our very own The IT Fashion just a few days ago, Kate Moss recently topped the list as Glamour magazine’s best dressed woman, and this is not the first fashion list on which she has topped the charts.

She is a true iconic English fashion model, and she even has her own successful clothing line which shows that although the press may prefer to portray her in a not so positive light, she is more than just gorgeous, she is an intelligent, creative, decisive young woman.

One of the most idolizing things about Kate Moss is that she wears what she likes, what she wants to. She is a fashion trendsetter and never a follower, one that is always willing to break the fashion rules.

Kate Moss is a true supermodel. She has rocked the runway, posed on the covers of numerous fashion magazines, and proved herself time and time again as being a true style icon.
