And if it were up to us, we’d let her. She’s already put her creativity into the modeling world, fashion design, and fragrance, but that’s just not enough. “I want to know what goes on behind the scenes, as well, and how to be successful at that part of the industry,” Kate said. “It’s not just putting your name on something; it’s about being very involved in it.”
The supermodel equates her love for vintage products to her upbringing, when shopping in secondhand stores was her norm. “I couldn’t really afford designer clothes when I was young, so I just went to secondhand shops. It wasn’t called vintage then, it was called ’secondhand’ when I was 15.” Among her favorite vintage finds are dresses by Madame Grès and lamé pieces from the thirties.
But in between designing clothes and making girls smell Kate-ilicious, she’s stepping into her business girl role, as well as makeup artist. After her estimated six years spent in makeup chairs, she knows a thing or two about products, so Coty is talking about having Kate create a color cosmetics collection for Rimmel.
