As the daughter of the most famous supermodel in the world, Lila Moss had pretty good odds when it came to breaking into the fashion industry. Kate Moss' only child has been making waves on the fashion scene since 2016 – when she appeared on the cover of Vogue Italia with her mum – and is currently listed as one of the world's top 50 models.
She has recently starred in campaigns for Burberry, YSL, Zara, Calvin Klein, Fendi, Marc Jacobs and Pepe Jeans, to name a few, and is fast becoming an 'It' girl. Most recently, she was spotted at a casting call for the return of the Victoria's Secret catwalk show.
Here's everything you need to know about Lila Moss:
Who is Lila Moss?
Supermodel Kate Moss had Lila when she was 28 years old and Lila grew up surrounded by the likes of Sadie Frost, Stella McCartney, Bella Freud and Naomi Campbell. Lila was born and raised in London and attended Highgate school. She currently lives in New York where she studies at the prestigious Parsons School of Design in Greenwich Village.
How old is Lila Moss?
Lila moss is 21 years old. Her birthday is 29 September 2002, so she is soon to turn 22.
Who is Lila Moss' dad?
While you may already know from her looks that Lila Grace Moss Hack is the daughter of supermodel Kate Moss, her father is Jefferson Hack, curator, creative director and co-founder of Dazed Media, which makes her very well placed to grow up around some of the coolest stylists, editors, artists and designers in the business.
Kate and Jefferson dated from 2001 to 2004 and broke up two years after Lila was born.
How tall is Lila Moss?
She may only be 21 years old, but her modelling career is already thriving. It got off to a pretty strong start when she made her runway debut in 2020, by opening and closing the catwalk at Miu Miu, wearing a trio of thigh-high miniskirts and babydoll dresses.
Despite only being 5'5 in height, Lila is one of the most booked and busy models working today.
Has Lila Moss been on the cover of Vogue?
In the years that followed, she's fronted campaigns for almost every major designer and has been on the cover of Vogue in five different countries. In 2024, Lila appeared on former British Vogue Editor Edward Enninful's final cover called '40 Vogue icons' alongside Naomi Campbell, her mum, Jane Fonda, Victoria Beckham, Cindy Crawford, Maya Jama, Jodie Comer, Adwoa Aboah and more.
Is Lila Moss close with Kate Moss?
The mother-daughter duo are thought to be incredibly close and have appeared on several magazine covers together - as well as front row during fashion week. Lila has also revealed that her mum is the person she turns to for advice and that they FaceTime everyday now that she's based in New York.
In a joint interview with Vogue last year Lila said, 'When I was growing up, she always brought any kind of childhood fantasy to the next level. Our garden in the Cotswolds had these antique playhouses and a wooden caravan, and in the summer she used to stage a “mini Glastonbury” for me and all of my godsiblings – although now that I’ve been to the real Glastonbury, I realise how PC her version was, all of us roasting marshmallows around a fire together.'
Speaking about what it was like growing up with Kate Moss as your mum, she said, 'When I started school, I began to realise how fascinated people were by “Kate Moss, the supermodel”, but to me, she was still just the person who wouldn’t let me use my phone at the dinner table and made me come home from parties in Notting Hill earlier than any of my friends. It’s only at, like, 15 or 16 that I began to realise she might actually be pretty cool.'
Unsurprisingly, Lila still looks to her mum’s wardrobe for inspiration. She's twice been seen wearing a see-through slip dress, once at a birthday party and again for the London Fashion Awards in 2023, that reminded fans of 90s Kate Moss at her very best.
Does Lila Moss have diabetes?
When Lila Moss was a child she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. The model has proudly displayed her insulin monitor in several campaigns including for Versace, Fendi and Zara and said, 'honestly, I’ve come to live with it. It’s kind of fun. I call myself a robot with all my little things.'
She admitted to first learning about diabetes through a 2006 episode of Hannah Montana when Oliver is diagnosed with the condition. 'When Oliver gets diagnosed with diabetes, that was my only insight into it ever. When they told me, I was kind of just like in shock. I was like, I didn’t even know what that means, and then the reality set in of like, you’re gonna have this forever.'
