Kate Moss Becomes British Cultural Icon

June 28, 2006

Who says a drug problem is bad for your career? When shots of supermodel Moss surfaced in London tabloids last year allegedly showing her doing drugs, many of her modeling contracts were cancelled. Now they're coming back -- big time.

The fashion world ran from Ms. Moss as if she was tainted and drugs were a foreign substance in the milieu. But now one of Moss’s biggest backers, Burberry, has called her back into the fold. She's the featured face in their Autumn/Winter 2006-2007 campaign. Moss, 32, appears in a white lace trench coat.

Question: “White lace trench coat?” For real? Where is that ever going to be practical? Or even funny? That thing is one glass of water away from becoming a fashion disaste.

Superstar photog Mario Testino shot the black-and-white ads, which, according to Burberry, “feature British cultural icons" including Moss and Jeremy Irons's son.

Earlier this month, British prosecutors announced that Moss would not be charged over the tabloid claims, saying there was insufficient evidence.

Although Moss also lost contracts with Chanel, H&M and Gloria Vanderbilt after the photos were published, her career seems to have suffered no lasting damage.

After apologizing to ''all the people I have let down'' and visiting a rehab clinic in Arizona, she signed new modeling contracts and appeared on several magazine covers.
