Lottie Moss, the youthful sister to supermodel Kate Moss, has revealed why they’re by no means seen collectively.
Writing for the newest version of Glamour UK, Lottie recalled what it was like rising up with an uber-famous sister
“When I started out, I was always just Kate Moss’ sister,” she wrote. “That was really hard for me growing up, especially not being that close with my sister.”

Lottie provides, “(we still don’t really have a relationship now, which is something I never really speak about).… Being Kate Moss’s sister, I was immediately thrown in the spotlight, and I always felt like I was living in her shadow.”
The pair are 24 years aside.
Lottie, who was signed to a modelling company when she was 14, revealed it was powerful for her to begin out within the business when her sister was already such a star.
“Back then, I was bombarded with people constantly asking me about my sister – I’d go to my friends’ houses and there would be pictures of her on the walls – and it really triggered a lot of abandonment issues,” she admitted.

Lottie added that it was significantly “hard” given her sister gave her no recommendation or steering when she was beginning out.
“It’s hard when you have someone ‘close’ to you doing the exact same job as you, who’s already very prominent in the industry, but not having any advice or guidance,” she wrote.
Interestingly, Lottie and Kate had an analogous expertise when it got here to being “discovered” and scouted as a mannequin.
Both had been signed to businesses on the age of 14, with Kate being signed to Storm Management in 1988.

Similar to her sister, Lottie opened up about adverse experiences she had as a mannequin, significantly throughout shoots.
“There were occasional fun times, but most of the time, it was a very dark place to be,” she mentioned. “I was forced to do jobs with brands I didn’t want to work for because the money was ‘too good’. I wanted to cry when I didn’t fit into the clothes on shoots because I wasn’t sample size.
“I’d cry on set after I felt too uncomfortable, and so they’d simply patch up my make-up.”
Interestingly, Lottie’s newest article echoes loads of what Kate has talked about through the years when it comes to her personal expertise as a younger mannequin.
Just this 12 months, Kate recalled a horrible topless photoshoot she ended up abandoning when she was 15.
”He mentioned, ‘Take your high off’ and I took my high off,” the British supermodel said, recalling the behaviour of a past photographer on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs.
“I used to be actually shy then about my physique and he mentioned, ‘Take your bra off’. I may really feel there was one thing flawed. I acquired my stuff and I ran off. I can inform a flawed ‘un a mile away.”
Kate revealed that moment, along with many others, was one of the reasons she decided to become a modelling agent for young models, so she could provide them with the support and protection they need in the industry.
