Kate Moss to get award for fashion

NEW YORK: The Council of Fashion Designers of America is honouring Kate Moss (pic), who often appears nude in photographs, for her fashion sense.

During the early 1990s, Moss fuelled the craze for waifish models, showing off her exceptionally slim frame in controversial ads for Calvin Klein fragrances.

In recent years, though, Moss, 31, became a mother and has become well-known for setting trends in her classically-eclectic British style.

Among the items Moss popularised are Ugg Australia boots and Balenciaga handbags. She has modelled for many top fashion houses, including Chanel and Burberry.

British musician David Bowie was to present Moss with her award on Monday night at a black-tie gala at Manhattan's public library. – AP
