Kate Moss Reveals Troubling Childhood Modeling Experience

Kate Moss, now 50, has reflected on her early modeling career, revealing traumatic experiences of being pressured to pose topless at just 15 years old. Discovered at 14, she quickly rose to fame but felt insecure about her body, particularly a mole she disliked. On the 'Fashion Neurosis with Bella Freud' podcast, she recounted being told by her photographer that if she didn't comply with the topless shoots, she wouldn't be booked for future jobs, leading to feelings of exploitation. Moss mentioned that she had to learn to suppress her discomfort, as models often feel like 'a vessel for somebody else's imagination.' She also shared that her family was affected by her modeling choices, with her brother facing teasing about her nude photos. This candid revelation highlights the pressures young models face in the industry and Moss's ongoing struggle with those experiences.
