Taking a glance back at iconic British model Kate Moss's historic looks, the fashion legend teaches us that while fashion changes with each season, style truly is forever. 

Kate Moss, the now legendary '90s <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/naomi-campbell-iconic-fashion-outfits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">supermodel</a> from Croydon, UK, rose to fame following her discovery at JFK Airport at 14 years old. Now, decades later, she remains one of fashion&rsquo;s greatest icons due to her rebellious nature that has defined her eclectic style. Fearless in experimenting with her looks, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/kate-moss-and-gwyneth-paltrow-holistic-detox" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Moss&rsquo;s</a>&nbsp;style has inspired many as she bends and even subverts the traditional rules of fashion.
From the see-through slip <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/best-white-dresses" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dresses</a> that she rocked at the beginning of her career, to her playful bohemian street style and famous leopard-print coats, pulling up search results for "Kate Moss style" will yield thousands of results.

At the 1991 Designer of the Year Awards held during&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/london-fashion-week-review-spring-2020" target="_blank" rel="noopener">London Fashion Week</a>, a young Moss dressed in a grey micro-mini skirt and massive white fur coat, a look capturing the essence of quintessential '90s style. It was one of the key moments that exhibited Moss's love for both minimalism and drama.

True to her '90s style roots, the slip dress has become a hallmark of Moss's style throughout her career. At the 1993 Elite Model Agency Party, Moss wore a sheer metallic slip dress showing her waifish figure that became synonymous with the popularised, but controversial &ldquo;heroin chic&rdquo; look.&nbsp;

In 1994 with then-boyfriend, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop%20culture/90s-couples-forgotten-celebrity-nostalgia">Johnny Depp</a>, Moss paid hommage to the beloved flapper style of the '20s at the premiere of the film Ed Wood in a dress designed by Calvin Klein. A personal vintage find from the model, the mini dress not only showed off her killer legs, but the sequins were a preview of what would soon become a mainstay in the supermodel's <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/spring-clothing-shopping" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wardrobe</a>.

Appearing at a Halloween party at New York's Supper Club, Moss attended the celebration, also known as fashion's favorite holiday, in a subversive take on the traditional magician.
