Kate Moss Covers Harper's Bazaar France March 2024, Lensed by Robin Galiegue
/
The focus of Kate’s Harper’s Bazaar France interview is her personal wellness habits and beauty brand ‘Cosmoss’.
England’s Daily Mail is actively posting many negative but very sepcific details about Kate’s intention to register ‘Cosmoss’ in the United States being denied, due to a connection to cannabidiol (CBD). But even WWD has no info of that nature — or the additional product efficacy claims headwinds Kate is encountering in England, also according to the Daily Mail.
AOC’s intention was to write about in-depth about ‘Cosmoss’ — which we’ve done before — but we need clarification on these legal issues.
The Times London wrote on Monday that Kate Moss’s young woman, south-London, “much derided” origins in Croydon have “emerged as the unlikely capital of the British beauty industry.”
Research by Oxford Economics finds that Croydon has the highest concentration of beauty jobs in the UK. The consultancy says one in 32 people in Croydon work in the beauty industry — four times as many as the national average of one in 150.
The research asserts that the beauty industry frequently has a greater foot print in areas associated with economic deprivation than in wealthy areas. It also highlights how the industry can be an engine for social mobility, providing services that enhance self-esteem.
Kate Moss has been open about her desire to leave her Croydon roots behind. Celebrity hairdresser James Brown, also a product of Croydon, has a more nuanced view, telling the Times: “To me Croydon sums up the opportunities offered by the beauty industry — what other job can a boy from an estate in Croydon end up travelling the world cutting the hair of Hollywood stars?
“I am really, really proud that I started in Croydon. There were so many salons there when I started — I worked in four of them. It gets a bad rap but I think it is amazing.”
