KATE MOSS - MOSS NAMED MODEL OF THE YEAR

MOSS NAMED MODEL OF THE YEAR

Supermodel KATE MOSS was named Model Of The Year at the British Fashion Awards in London last night (02NOV06) - just a year after her alleged cocaine scandal. The English beauty lost several high-profile modelling jobs last year (05) after British newspaper the Daily Mirror published images which showed her snorting cocaine in a London recording studio. Moss checked into an Arizona rehabilitation clinic following the revelations. At the star-studded ceremony at the Victoria + Albert Museum, the awards panel praised Moss as "a fashion icon and without doubt one of the most prolific models in the industry. She has now been modeling for over 15 years and remains at the top of her game". Other winnners on the night included VIVIENNE WESTWOOD for Red Carpet Designer and GILES DEACON for Designer Of The Year.
