Style icon Kate Moss knows what it’s like to see society’s ideals of body image fluctuate over the years. In 1993, she posed for a controversial Calvin Klein ad looking very thin (and very topless). In 1999, Moss put on some weight (topping out at 105 pounds at 5’7’’). By 2004, skinny was back, but in the form of the skinny jean, a trend that Moss started. ''I try to eat so I won't be so waiflike, but even if I do, I'm not going to become this voluptuous thing,” Moss has said.
