You’re just trying to be divisive. Try not to do that.   i adore Gorgeous  Meghan Markle and have defended her in those stupid Meghan Markle threads that pop up sometimes. [/quote]

You do have to realize that when Kate moss was a model it was the biggest deal in the world to have Tyra Banks actually on the front of sports illustrated it was groundbreaking. Groundbreaking for Tyra Banks to be on the front of a cover. Back in the days when Kate moss was a model the only definition of beauty was skinny white no hips. It’s not divisive it’s a fact and it was silly[/quote]

Yes, of course that was silly.  But....Kate Moss was still beautiful. They can both be beautiful![/quote]

I never said she was not beautiful I said her beauty only translate to a small very white very wealthy audience... and gay men.[/quote]

The wealthy part is where you’re messing up. I’ll give you white. White middle class youngish females. She was the grungy model icon that was “cool” and sexy, but in a new way. [/quote]

No I’m not messing up. The business of fashion is about making money in the 80s and 90s they did not think they could make money off of black people. There are many industries that do not market to black people because they believed they couldnt make money. Fashion is no different. Kate moss Was only a fashion icon because of the time. Besides if you look at pictures of her when she was 14 she wasn’t with Ashley thin she was actually more beautiful now because she was younger but because she actually looked normal.[/quote]

DP.  I agree the marketing was targeted through whites at the time.  But rich?  You're wrong.  As other PPs pointed out, her image was largely used to sell $40 perfume.  Every middle class mall rat could scrape together the money to buy that or could ask for it from Santa.  That's where the money is, not the $1000 dresses.  Was she a healthy weight? Probably not, but that was the aspirational look of the day--Courtney Cox, Catherine Bessette--whether hi or lo, skinny minimalism or grunge.[/quote]

Are you the same person that can’t make it on a HHI of $200K and claim to be poor?[/quote]

What?  Like a previous poster, I'm similar age to KM and remember her pull.  People who wore Calvin Klein Eternity had a median income way bellow the equivalent of $200K today.  I'm referencing Fiesta Mall, Mesa AZ (HHI today $48K), not DCUM bubble.[/quote]
