Kate Moss runs one of the UK’s top modelling agencies – but she’s known most of the beauties on her books since they were babies.

Whi le Kate was plucked from obscurity at 14 after being scouted at an airport, her hottest young stars are the children of her A-list chums.

And one of them is the daughter of her best pal, Scottish supermodel­turned- nutr it ionist Rosemary Ferguson. Elfie Reigate was Kate’s first signing and was also a bridesmaid at her 2011 wedding to Jamie Hince. Elfie made her catwalk debut at Paris Fashion Week and has been in Vogue and Tatler.

Rosemary, who grew up in Garelochhe­ad, Argyll, has been close to Kate, 46, since meeting as young models and was thrilled when she signed her daughter.

A source said: “Her agency is like a who’s who of showbiz kids. Kate was spotted but most of her stars she found when they came round to her house.” Kate set up the agency in 2016, hoping to turn the focus of her career to findingdg fashion’sasos futureutu faces. And she didn’t have to bother looking far. The Kate Moss Agency also includes the granddaugh­ter of RRolling Stones legend Keith Richards,Richar Ella, as well as the daughter of The Clash guitarist Mick Jones,Jones Stella. Wolf Gillespie, soson of Primal Scream frontman Bobby, also poses for her, as ddoes actress Sam Mor ton’s daughter Esme Creed-MileMiles.

Kate once sasaid: “I l ike hanging out togettoget­her with my friends and our chchildren, who have all grown up together. “We love holidaying togethe together too.”

The biggest star at heher agency is sing singer Rita Ora, 29, and one of her tallest is 6ft 3in Game of Thrones actress Gwendoline Christie, 41.

Kate also has her own daughter Lila Grace, 17, on the books. Lila has been in her dad Jefferson Hack’s magazine Dazed and Confused and f ronted this year’s sunglasses campaign for Miu Miu.

Stella has worked for Prada, while Ella appeared in Vogue and has been the face of Burberry and Miu Miu.

Esme is also an actress but has modelled for luxury magazines.

Meanwhile, Wolf has posed for posh fashion house Celine and has been a cover star for a mountain of men’s mags.

So it is all paying off for Kate, who has been on the cover of British Vogue 43 times and is now a contributi­ng fashion editor.

She has a £ 65million fortune and profits at her agency rocketed by £ 600,000 last year to £1.7million.
