2. Kate Moss.

The story goes that Kate Moss was discovered by Sarah Doukas, the founder of Storm model agency, at JFK airport in 1988, as she prepared to board a flight home to London with her father. She was 14 at the time, and a "not entirely enthusiastic" pupil of Riddlesdown High School in South London.

Born on 16 January 1974, in Addiscomb, Croydon, Moss once admitted that she thought she "might've been a bank manager". As it turned out, she was destined for far greater things including developing into one of the most beautiful women the world had ever seen. At 15, Kate was cast in her first catwalk show, playing Lolita for John Galliano. At 18, she became the Face of Calvin Klein, most famously fronting his underwear campaign with Mark Wahlberg and appearing nude for Obsession, and to this day Klein maintains that she "defines her generation". She made her first appearance in British Vogue in January 1993. Her first cover followed two months later, with Kate photographed by Corinne Day in a pink and blue Chanel bustier. As Vogue's former Fashion Features Editor Lisa Armstrong puts it, Kate soon became "the (defiantly) non-supermodel who managed to out-super them all". The darling of the fashion world, she was widely credited with spearheading the controversial "waif" look of the early Nineties and, in 1995, her fame was such that she was encouraged to release a hardback book of pictures entitled simply "Kate".

But by November 1998, her hectic lifestyle had taken its toll on the young model and Kate checked into London's Priory Clinic, suffering from exhaustion. When she emerged the following January, she announced that she had spent the last decade modelling "drunk". "For years I never thought there was anything wrong with it," she told Vogue with characteristic frankness, shortly after her rehabilitation. "We all used to get drunk at the shows. I just thought I was having a really good time, which I was. But it got too much. There was no normality. I felt like everyone was sucking me away."Since rehab and the dissolution of her eight-year contract with Calvin Klein, Kate has taken on the grander status of style icon, appearing less and less on the catwalks. In the May 2000 issue of British Vogue, she played muse to seven modern British artists, including Tracey Emin, Sarah Morris, the Chapman brothers, and Sam Taylor-Wood. She is also famously easy-going. As Mario Testino says: "Kate is great company, a truly nice person." And she is still enormously bankable. In September 2000, US magazine BusinessAge ranked her the fifth highest paid model in the world, with estimated earnings of Ј14.8 million. She has appeared in several notable documentaries about the fashion world, having made her acting debut with a spot in the comedy series French & Saunders in 1996. Kate's love life has been almost as well-documented as her career, right down to the detail of the tiny heart tattoo on her hand. She has been linked with photographer Mario Sorrenti, Spacehog guitarist Antony Langdon, Rolling Stone Ron's son Jesse Wood, and artist Jake Chapman, as well as Billy Zane, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Evan Dando of the Lemonheads. Most famously, she dated Johnny Depp for three years until 1997 (the pair were trumpeted by Vanity Fair as the couple of the decade). She is now happily settled with Dazed & Confused Editor Jefferson Hack, whom she met in London in 2000. Her close friends include Anita Pallenberg, Marianne Faithfull, Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen, Jade Jagger and Matthew Williamson. Vogue, 01.2001.

3. Stella McCartney.

Stella McCartney was born in 1972, the daughter of ex-Beatle Sir Paul and Linda McCartney. She first hit the headlines herself in 1995, when she graduated from London's Central St Martins College of Art & Design. Her graduation show, attended by her super-famous parents, featured pals Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss modelling her clothes on the catwalk. Unsurprisingly, the student show became front page news around the world and the entire collection was snapped up by London boutique Tokio. McCartney launched her eponymous label the same year. Despite her newfound celebrity, she had already served a long apprenticeship in fashion. At 15, she worked with Christian Lacroix on his first couture collection and later spent several years learning her craft on Savile Row.McCartney was appointed chief designer at the French couture house Chloe in March 1997. Succeeding Karl Lagerfeld in one of the most high profile posts in the industry, McCartney's appointment was viewed by many as simply an astute publicity stunt on the part of Chloe's owners, the Vendфme group. However, her first collection for the house, shown in Paris in October 1997, quickly dispelled any doubts about her talent. Sensual and romantic, the collection teamed lacy petticoat skirts with fine tailoring and was hailed a triumph. Her delicate camisoles and Nineties updates of the Seventies trousersuit fast became the talk of the catwalk circuit. The following season, Chloe execs proved that her efforts had not only raised the house's profile, but had lifted its profits too.Following the death of her mother in April 1998, Stella stepped up her fight against the maltreatment of animals, a cause Linda had always held dear. A month later, during Fur Fashion Week, she teamed up with PeTA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) to release a video championing animal rights.In April 2000, she renewed her contract with Chloe, amid reports that she had turned down the offer of a position at rival house Gucci, because Gucci would have required her to work with leather. Exactly one year later, Gucci confirmed that they had signed McCartney up, with a view to developing her own label as a global luxury brand. The Chloe job was awarded to her righthand woman, Phoebe Philo.In August 2001, it was reported that Stella had started dating Alasdhair Willis, the 31-year-old publisher of Wallpaper magazine known to friends as Mr Gucci, for his love of designer labels. Stella's social life is legendarily star-studded. As well as being romantically linked with the likes of Lenny Kravitz in the past, her close friends include Kate Moss, Liv Tyler, and Madonna (known as Melly to Stella's Stelly), whose wedding dress she designed in 2000.
