Kate Moss is the only person that can get away with this haircut, on anyone else it would look naff. A heavy fringe and layers is a very old-fashioned look. I have been in hairdressing for 30 years and have seen this haircut regurgitated over and over – it even reminds me of the Jennifer Aniston “Rachel” haircut.
The fringe is very wide and only Kate, with her iconic status, can make it work. I always advise my customers, when choosing to copy a haircut, to put a finger over the face and focus purely on the hair. Covering Kate Moss’s face shows that this haircut is very boring.
If one of my clients asked for this style, I would not cut such a heavy fringe, particularly if the client had fine hair. You lose precious hair from the sides and end up with a heavy fringe – it’s an unbalanced look.
The style is even less accommodating for those with thick hair; it can end up looking like a helmet or wig. A thick heavy-set fringe works with very few hair types.
Women with small faces should avoid this style as it makes the face look smaller. A fringe frames the face, drawing extra attention to it and this isn’t necessarily always a good thing. Leave the look to Kate.

kate moss > hari whatever.

Hari (who he?) calls this look 'boring' and 'old fashioned', but it is also very flattering, which is no doubt why it keeps coming back. In fact, I'd say the only women who'd have a problem with this style would be those with small, narrow faces - they would get lost in the hair. Yes, Kate's fringe is a bit on the heavy side, but it suits her, just like it suited Julie Christie, Debbie Harry and thousands of attractive but less famous women.

as the picture makes clear, the haircut looks equally naff on Kate Moss. Indeed it makes her look like distinctly average. Less Jennifer Aniston, more pulling pints in the Queen Vic (and I'm thinking Barbara Windsor not Bianca)

I don't see anything special about this fringe... But at least she'll stop running around with her boring unbrushed hair looking like a wild animal from a forest.

In actual fact, I think Claire Smith pulls the look off very well, dont you agree?
Trish, London,
Does that mean that Kate Moss has neither thick nor thin hair?
And she does not have a small face, therefore by deductive logic, the women/men with medium hair (neither thick nor thin) and medium sized to big faces could get away with the fringe.
Personally, I think this haircut looks much Claudia Schiffers' hair from a while ago and I have seen many girls in the high street who look much more attractive than Ms Moss does with the fringe and medium length hair.
