Kate signed a £1 million deal with Belstaff - July 17, 2020
Kate Moss has signed a £1 million advertising deal with clothing company Belstaff. The lucrative deal is the fifth major contract the supermodel has secured since pictures of her snorting cocaine were published last year. Moss will appear in a black-and-white print campaign to advertise the firm’s designer leather motorbike jackets. Belstaff, famed for its classic biking leathers, was once British but is now based in Italy.

A source said: "We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrity." The new deal will push the 32-year-old catwalk queen’s earnings up to around £12 million. Since her cocaine scandal last September, Moss’ earnings have soared. In the wake of the expose the British model was dropped by a number of top fashion houses including H+M and Roberto Cavalli.

But now the mum-of-one is now back in favour with the fashion industry and has signed new deals with, among others, Burberry, Calvin, Klein and Virgin Mobile - contracts that are believed to worth around £11 million. The astonishing figure is over five times Kate’s earnings back in 2005 when profits for her company, Skate Enterprises, were just £1.3 million.

Kate is the new face of Burberry - June 27, 2020
Kate Moss has become the new face of Burberry - nine months after bosses axed her. The British fashion house quickly distanced itself from the supermodel last year, after pictures apparently showing her snorting cocaine were published.

Moss has now been reunited with Burberry and will front the 2006 autumn/winter campaign for label. The advertisement, shot by Mario Testino, shows the catwalk beauty dressed in a white lace trench coat standing defiantly in front of fellow models Stella Tenant, Otis and Issac Ferry on a rooftop. Since Moss was welcomed back into the fashion world after spending time in a drug rehabilitation centre, anti-drug campaigners have been critical about the industry’s willingness to quickly forgive the shamed model.

Peter Stoker, director of the Drug Prevention Alliance, told the Daily Mail newspaper: "Burberry could have publicly said that what Kate Moss did had influenced an awful people and she should straighten up her act, whereas instead they’re trivialising the impact of drug use." Burberry was not the only company to cancel planned projects with the supermodel following the cocaine scandal. H+M and Roberto Cavalli both ditched Moss, sending her career into freefall.

However, Burberry, famous for its check motif, was careful not to sever all ties with the model, and she was invited to their 150th birthday celebration earlier this year. A spokesman said at the time: "Kate is part of the Burberry family and it is only natural that she should be here."

Kate’s mum has cancer - June 22, 2020
The supermodel, who has been virtually inseparable from her mother, Linda Moss, since her cocaine expose last year, has been left devastated by the news. A source told The Sun newspaper: "This cancer scare has knocked Kate for six. It is a really anxious time for her."

Linda, 57, has checked into a private hospital for an operation on a cancerous mole on her neck. She consulted a doctor after discovering the mole and underwent tests which confirmed it was cancerous. Linda will have cryotherapy to freeze the mole as the Old Sutton Hospital in Surrey. The pair had fallen out over Kate’s tumultuous relationship with singer Pete Doherty, but since the romance ended, they have become close again.
