She\u2019s one of fashion\u2019s biggest stars and it\u2019s the industry\u2019s go-to app. So it made perfect sense for Kate Moss to use Instagram to announce that applications\u00a0are now open for her new talent agency.<\/p>\n
Since Moss left Storm Models, her longtime agency, in April (they were the ones who discovered her at 14 years old),\u00a0the fashion world has been watching to see what the supermodel would do next. And now we have answers! The model founded Kate Moss Agency, a talent firm\u00a0which hopes to represent models with a little something extra to offer. In fact, this added creative flair is so important that there\u2019s a special section for \u201ctalent\/interests\u201d on the application form, now available online<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s more of a management company with creative people, but we\u2019ll be working with them as models,\u201d Camilla Johnson-Hill, the agency\u2019s brand and business manager, told Business of Fashion<\/em><\/a>. After being recruited to the team earlier in the year, Johnson-Hill is quick to stress that Moss is still very much the decision-maker. \u201cI bring things to the table and add some things and help shape things, but every project is hers.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019d like to take care of them and nurture them so they grow to their full capacity in anything they\u2019d like to do, instead of being used up and tossed out.\u201d<\/p>\n Since being discovered by Storm Models founder Sarah Doukas in 1988, Moss has worked for an impressive number of major brands and magazines; she\u2019s landed 37 covers for British Vogue<\/em>, as well as campaigns for Calvin Klein, Burberry, Versace, Christian Dior and most recently Naked Cashmere and Alberta Ferretti. Therefore, it\u2019s no surprise that she\u2019s got a wealth of wisdom to share with up-and-coming talents. Most importantly, she wants to ensure her clients are looked after in an industry known for being cutthroat.<\/p>\n \u201cI think because you\u2019re alone a lot of the time, you really need guidance,\u201d Moss explained in her exclusive interview with BoF<\/em>. \u201cI\u2019d like to take care of them and nurture them so they grow to their full capacity in anything they\u2019d like to do, instead of being used up and tossed out.\u201d<\/p>\n
