“In the beginning, my agent said to me, ‘If you were two inches higher, you’d have two more zeroes at the end of your bank account.’ I was five foot six and if I was five foot eight and had, say, a 4B cup, then I would have been fine,” Moss admitted.

While many believe she catapulted to fame with the Calvin Klein campaign, her journey wasn’t that straightforward, given her shorter stature compared to most models.

The fashion industry is known for its fickle nature, shunning celebrities before later embracing them, as seen with Kim Kardashian.

Her ability to stay relevant and transform from a tabloid sensation to a respected figure is commendable.

Despite her success, Moss’s height remains a topic of discussion, leading many aspiring models to believe they can achieve similar heights in the industry despite not fitting the conventional tall model archetype.
