Fashion magazine W has become the first to publicly support Kate Moss since her drugs scandal broke. W's new November issue features Kate on the cover and has eight pages of photographs of the supermodel inside.

In an article headlined Survivors, deputy editor Julie Belcove writes: "When Kate Moss burst into the fashion world in the early Nineties, few imagined she'd still be the dominant model more than a decade later.

"Her delicate frame posed a paradoxically giant challenge to the prevailing ideal, epitomized by towering, busty mannequins like Cindy, Claudia and Naomi. "But the big-eyed waif developed a womanly presence. As the world now knows, she has not come through the transformation unscathed. "A tabloid sting recently caught the 31 year old Moss using cocaine, the resulting photographs cost her several lucrative contracts.

"Moss, who was booked for this issue well before the scandal broke, has had a long relationship with the magazine, appearing on more covers - by far - than any other model or actress." W's creative director Dennis Freedman added: "She has shown courage by taking steps to deal with her personal problems and it is only natural that we would support someone that we regard as a friend."

You Said

She "developed a womanly presence." Bitch please...I remember when Moss "burst into the fahion world" modeling for Calvin Klein. She looked like a 10-year-old BOY.
