CFDA Award 2005 for Fashion Influence: Kate Moss

I was so excited when I read that -*drum rolls* -Kate Moss will be honoured with the Award of Fashion Influence at the Council of Fashion Designers of America's annual ceremony on June 6. *Squeals and cheers for one of my fav style icons* For those who don't know, the CFDA awards are equivilant to fashion Oscars awards.

Kate Moss, who is one of the reasons why this season's trend is boho luxe, and who was just recently voted as best dresser by Glamour magazine, is now 31 years old, but it seems her style is not fading as she ages. Also, Kate has been called a muse by many photographers, including the famous Mario Testino and Nick Knight.

So what qualifies her as a 'fashion influence'? Simple answer: Whatever she wears hit high street stores a few weeks after she wears it, and everybody, from normal ppl like us to celebrities and fashion experts can not help but want to copy her look. Kate first used Balenciaga bags years before it became so popular last year. The unknown Austrlian UGGs also became famous after being worn by Kate. Kate, who is the queen of THE cool English crowd, names Sadie Frost and Stella Mc Cartney as her best friends.
