Cocaine use ‘didn’t harm Kate Moss’

The boss of Kate Moss‘s modelling agency has revealed the furore over the beauty’s alleged drug use did not harm her fees in any way.
And Sarah Doukas, who founded the agency Storm, admitted that as the Moss cocaine scandal erupted, she told clients: “All press is good press.”
The model was pictured apparently using the drug in 2005, and at the time there were fears the incident would destroy her career. She has since continued in the top-flight of her profession.
But Doukas said Kate, 36, had taken “on board” her position as a role model for young women since the incident hit the headlines, adding: “One lives and learns.”
In an interview to be broadcast on Saturday on Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs, Doukas said Kate’s price had not been adversely affected by the storm.
Asked by presenter Kirsty Young if her price had actually risen as a result, she said: “It’s hard to say isn’t it? I can’t remember. It didn’t go down, it didn’t go down.”
Kate, who has a daughter, was pictured under the headline “Cocaine Kate” on the front page of the Daily Mirror.
At the time she was dating singer Pete Doherty, who has made no secret of his own drug use and addiction to heroin.
Doukas said the story came out of the blue with no warning.
She said she had a “strategic view” of the situation: “I just thought she will be fine, and I knew that some of my great clients, that were huge clients to her, they stuck by and said ‘we are in your capable hands, we will stick by her’ – and they did.”
