Kate Moss' rise to fame in the 1990s led to a "panic" among the era's most famous models because they feared they were being replaced.
Kate Moss caused waves when she rose to fame in the 1990s
The 50-year-old catwalk star got her big break modelling for Calvin Klein in the mid-1990s but she's revealed her deal with the brand sparked worry and anger among her peers as they were concerned about their place on the catwalk.
During an appearance in new Disney Plus documentary 'In Vogue: The 1990s', Kate explained: "I am mentioning no names! There was definitely a bit of 'She has come along what's going to happen to us', they knew.
"My first season at the shows I was a bit intimidated, they just seemed giants to me and I was scrawny and quite shy. But then Christy [Turlington] and Naomi [Campbell] took me under their wing."
Fellow supermodel Tyra Banks revealed Kate represented a new look for models and it led to a lot of concern among the big names of the time. She explained: "We weren't getting booked any more.
"I remember being backstage of a fashion show in New York City and all the 'super' were like, 'Oh my god Calvin [Klein] didn't book any of us, Calvin didn't book any of us'. I remember the panic in all those supermodels' faces."
Linda Evangelista previously spoke about the new models who came onto the scene in the 1990s but denied the original supermodels felt threatened by them.
Speaking in Apple TV Plus documentary 'The Super Models', Linda explained: "You have a hockey team, you don't retire the whole team all at once, you bring in rookies one at a time, I mean it's really nice to see these new girls".
'In Vogue: The 1990s' shines a light on designers as well as models and in the film, Stella McCartney revealed she was hated by fellow students at fashion school after she got the world's most famous supermodels to walk in her graduate show.
The designer - daughter of Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney - studied her craft at the famous Central Saint Martins university in London and she blew away the competition by using her showbiz connections to get superstars including Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss to appear in her end of term show while other students just used their friends instead of professional models.
Speaking in the documentary, Stella explained: "All the other students were choosing their models, then they were getting their mates. I had mates, but my mates were the supermodels.
"I was like, 'Everyone's gonna hate me if I do that ...' but life's too short, and they were genuinely my mates. Those girls were the hottest girls on the planet. "They were doing every show in every city, and they did a little college fashion show, for me. That was amazing ...
"As [I was] the child of such famous people, it became this whole drama. I was like, 'Agghhh, get me out of here'."
