Her waifish figure.a stark contrast from the curvaceous supermodels who had previously ruled the scene.quickly became the ideal silhouette. Moss and her unique look remained popular throughout `90s, thanks to the highly-publicized Calvin Klein campaigns she starred in. Later, Moss was featured in major campaigns including those of Gucci, Dolce and Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, Versace, Roberto Cavalli, Chanel, David Yurman, Dior, Burberry, and Rimmel. Her off-camera style earned her accolades as well, as she perfected a unique, eclectic yet-still-elegant look. In 2006, it was reported that she was the second highest-paid model after Gisele Bunchen. After a brief hiatus due to her hard-partying ways, Moss returned to the scene in 2007 with a line of clothing designed for UK retailer TopShop, which produced a frenzy with her many loyal fans it was released in stores.

The model is purportedly still involved in an tumultuous on-again-off-again relationship with Baby Shambles lead singer Pete Doherty.
