Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Models,
The supermodel has been in the fashion business for over 20 years and having worked with most of the top designers in the world, she says a love for creating is hugely important along with the determination to succeed.
"A good designer has to have passion and imagination and determination because it is a tough business," she said.
Kate is the face of high street clothing store Mango and Colleen Sherin, Fashion Director at Saks 5th Avenue believes it is a match made in heaven. "Kate Moss is beautiful and the perfect face for Mango, it's such a great fit. She's an icon who has always supported young fashion talent like Mango does," she said, speaking at the Mango Fashion Awards at the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya in Barcelona.
"Mango is amazing because they support the young designers who will eventually be designing for huge companies in the future," Kate added.
Simon Spurr Exits Eponymous Label

Simon Spurr has left his eponymous label.
The British menswear designer stepped down from the post on Friday, with the shock decision taking the fashion world by surprise after he was nominated for the Council of Fashion Designers for America's (CFDA) 2012 Menswear Designer of the Year prize just last week.
Tommy Fazio, men's fashion director at Nordstrom, first revealed the news on Saturday via Twitter. Mr. Fazio - who had been president of the high-end menswear label before joining Nordstrom - wrote, "Sad day in fashion. Simon Spurr has left his company."
In an email to WWD, Simon - who co-founded the New York-based company with partner Judd Nydes in 2006 - wrote, "At this moment, I'm not at liberty to say anything about what's gone on."
Earlier this year, Simon - who still retains his position of creative consultant for Tommy Hilfiger's menswear division - sold his autumn-winter collection with European agent Futurenet.
