Kids are so prudish these days, says Kate Moss
IN her wild youth, outrageous clothes were one of her trademarks. Barely a week would go by without Kate Moss making the world gasp.
But times have moved on... leaving Miss Moss to accuse the younger generation of being ‘prudish’.
Her putdown came as she revealed that her daughter refuses to pick ‘revealing’ outfits when raiding her wardrobe. The supermodel, 48, said Lila, 19, has deemed some 1990s mininipple
‘Lila wouldn’t wear my miniskirt’
skirts ‘too short’ and turned down suggestions she go braless – as Kate herself famously did in 1993, wearing a barely-there Liza Bruce slip dress.
‘Lila’s started to wear my things, and we have to be careful!’ she told Vogue. ‘ But she wouldn’t wear a miniskirt because it was too short – kids are so prudish these days!’
She revealed that Lila said she would not wear a see-through top without covers – while her mother encouraged her daughter, and others, to go braless. While the young model has copied her mother’s famous sheer outfits – including a black transparent dress at a party hosted by designer Kim Jones in 2020 – she covered up with underwear and a jacket.
The model, who recently sold her north London home to move to the Cotswolds, said teenagers were ‘scared’ to dress how they wanted, for fear of standing out. She told how she persuaded her daughter to wear a Marc Jacobs minidress, despite her protesting that ‘nobody wears this’.
‘I said, “No one wore a thirties dress and trainers when I was your age”,’ she explained. Miss Moss also spoke about the importance of teenagers dressing how they want so they don’t have any regrets.
But she joked about her own faux pas, such as the Christian Dior gown which ripped during a night of partying – so was tied around her waist.
