Moss gets support from fashion magazine
Indo-Asian News Service

London, Oct 8 (IANS) Fashion magazine W has publicly come out in support of Kate Moss since her drug scandal broke out.

According to ananova.com, the magazine features Moss on the cover and has eight pages of photographs of her inside. 

In an article headlined "Survivors," deputy editor Julie Belcove writes: "When Kate Moss burst into the fashion world in the 90s, few imagined she'd still be the dominant model more than a decade later.

"Her delicate frame posed a paradoxically giant challenge to the prevailing ideal, epitomised by towering, busty mannequins like Cindy (Crawford), Claudia (Schiffer) and Naomi (Campbell). But the big-eyed waif developed a womanly presence. 

"As the world now knows, she has not come through the transformation unscathed. A tabloid sting recently caught the 31-year-old Moss using cocaine, the resulting photographs cost her several lucrative contracts. 

"Moss, who was booked for this issue well before the scandal broke, has had a long relationship with the magazine, appearing on more covers - by far - than any other model or actress."

And creative director Dennis Freedman added: "She has shown courage by taking steps to deal with her personal problems and it is only natural that we would support someone that we regard as a friend."

A spokesperson from Moss' agency Storm said: "We are delighted and grateful for W's support for Kate through their photo coverage and commitment and also through their public message of loyalty."
