Kate Moss Holds on to Burberry Contract
Kate Moss continues her rise from the Bolivian ashes: Fashion house Burberry, home of the quintessential plaid favored by many a biddy and Diddy, has stepped forward to publically support supermodel Kate Moss, who lost millions in contracts after being featured on the cover of the UK's Daily Mirror banging rails of cocaine.
Unlike Moss's former employers at H&M and Chanel, Burberry has taken a far more understanding stance on Moss's scandal. The brand's creative director, Christopher Bailey, says, "Yes, she has some issues that she probably needs to resolve, but don't we all? She's living in the public eye — but she's a model, and she's probably the best one ever in the world."
Rough translation: "Successful modeling and drug abuse need not be mutually exclusive, you silly cow. Now put on your checked bikini and get back to work."
