Kate Moss. Your favorite model’s favorite supermodel. Admittedly, I’m a little obsessed, but not without good reason. Her style is the epitome of cool- imitated by many, emulated by few. I didn’t fully realize her ability to define and set trends that would eventually filter down to some fashion enthusiast in Middle America until I saw these pictures:

Even though skinny jeans tucked into slouchy boots, leather jackets with dresses, and tights under everything were big trends that emerged in these fashion-barren parts within the last year, Kate was wearing this shit years ago- proof of just one of the many reasons why she’s considered a fashion icon.
