3 分钟Hello, I'm Lauren Laverne.
Welcome to Desert Island Discs Postcards,
where we share funny, moving and memorable moments directly from our desert island with you every weekday.
Today's castaway is the supermodel Kate Moss.
When I spoke to Kate in 2022, she revealed how her big break came at an unexpected moment.
I was sitting in economy somewhere and Simon, who was Sarah Dukes' brother,
came up to me on the plane and said, my sister owns a model agency, she'd like to meet you.
So I went to meet her in her seat and I recognised her from the clothes show live.
And so I knew she was a real model agent and they gave me their card and said,
when you get home, come and see us.
And what did you think in that moment?
Did you think something would come of it?
No.
I would never ever have said to anybody I want to be a model because I just thought
that was just vain and somebody who said that just thinks they're beautiful and I never did.
I just thought, oh my God, I'm just going to take a chance.
The agency started sending you off on castings.
You were still 14. I mean, did anybody come with you?
My mum came with me one day and then she said, you're on your own.
Because it was hard slog then.
