Sažetak
Embodying the look of a rock and roll party girl and well-known representative of the so-called heroin chic (Denham, 2008 ; Acevedo, Warren and Wray-Bliss, 2008), Kate Moss already at the beginning of her modelling career figured in the media as a fashion icon as well as a recognizable brand. Her private and modelling life have intertwined over the past three decades in complex and challenging ways. In a culture that glorifies youth, it is difficult to grow old, especially if it is a modelling celebrity who is presented in the media as the embodiment of feminine beauty and youthfulness. In recent years, Kate Moss has modified her personal brand which includes a change of public narrative towards her own body primarily in terms of care for own well- being. From a fashion model whose body measures, appearance and lifestyle simultaneously caused moral panic and admiration, Moss has recently presented herself as a promoter and practitioner of the "cosmic wellness" (Conor, 2021), balance and healthy lifestyles that include consumption of specific products (for example, herbal tea, CBD oil, crystals, skin-care products, etc.) and ritualized beauty practices inspired by New Age spirituality. In the focus of the paper is a critical analysis of video produced by Kate Moss for the Vogue Beauty Secrets series whereby the concept of “cosmic wellness” (Conor, 2021), “postfeminist sensibility” (Gill, 2012), and postfeminist ageing are engaged in the analysis.
