"So I completely called it wrong. I just loved this child. When she came to my office, I would measure her to see if she'd gotten any taller."
Hitting at just the right time and with just the right look—in fact, she determined what "the look" would be—the London-born daughter of a barmaid who didn't think she was photogenic and a father whose job at an airline proved instrumental to his daughter being discovered hasn't been out of the spotlight, for better or worse, since being discovered at 14.
One of Moss' mottoes may be that "everything passes," but the 45-year-old style icon herself is proof that not everyone goes by the wayside.

While her proposed next chapter held more work for her as head of her own eponymous talent agency and as an ambassador for Japanese skin care brand Decorté, it also still held a whole bunch of modeling jobs.
