Kate Moss Is Launching Her Own Agency and Isn’t Restricting It Just to Pretty Faces

With one of the fashion industry’s most memorable careers, dozens and dozens of Vogue covers, controversial campaigns with brands like Calvin Klein, and a net worth of approximately $75 million, what more could a girl want? Her own company.

With not much left to accomplish in the world of modeling, it’s time for Kate Moss to reproduce—models, we mean. Yes, the British beauty is launching her own agency.

Moss took the industry by surprise earlier this year when she left Storm Models after 27 years. “It’s a grown-up thing,” she told the Business of Fashion. “I felt like I wanted to do things that were more than modeling. It didn’t matter how much we would try and do it together with [Storm]; I was always going to be the little Kate that they’ve known since I was 14,” she explained. “It was like leaving home. I had to leave, and they were very understanding about it. They were like, ‘Yeah, you’ve got to go now, we’ve done as much as we can do.’ I wanted to spread my wings.”

Moss brought her agenting in-house and quietly began to plan how she could take over the fashion world, as if she hadn’t already. She is launching her own business this month, called Kate Moss Agency, with herself as the CEO. “It’s a dream! It’s so weird,” she said of finding new faces. “I want to focus more on managing people’s careers than just [running] a modeling agency.”

And the best part is, it’s not just about finding pretty faces. “I don’t really want pretty people; I want people that want to sing and dance and act — I want to create stars,” she said.

At first, the agency will work with a handful of unnamed talents and represent them as models, according to the Business of Fashion. The small team Moss has built so far includes Lucy Baxter, her longtime booking agent, who also left Storm earlier this year.

We cannot wait to see what kind of talent the Kate Moss Agency churns out. If these models are anything like their agent, we have a feeling they will be very unpredictable.
