Moss to continue as face of Chanel

Kate Moss has signed a new deal with Chanel to continue as the face of its Coco Mademoiselle perfume.

The French fashion house was reported to have dumped the supermodel amid fears her party-loving lifestyle was bad for its image.

But today Chanel announced the 30-year-old beauty will be the star of a new ad campaign next year.

“Chanel has chosen Kate Moss to embody the next advertising campaign for Coco Mademoiselle from January 2005,” a spokeswoman said.

“Kate will continue as the face of the perfume and we are delighted with the relationship we have with her.”

Chanel’s artistic director, Jacques Helleu, made the decision to renew the model’s contract.

Moss, whose deal is said to be worth €1.5m, has been the face of Coco Mademoiselle for the past four years.

Last month it was reported that Chanel had tired of her and were chasing 19-year-old actress Scarlett Johansson as a replacement.

But the spokeswoman said: “We never considered replacing Kate and we have always been happy with the relationship.”
