newsMOSS LOSES FASHION DEAL
Kate Moss has been axed from an ad campaign by a leading clothes store after allegations she had snorted cocaine.
The 31-year-old was due to be the face of the publicity drive by H&M.
The fashion chain said in a statement that Moss was "inconsistent with H&M's clear disassociation of drugs".
She was due to have been the face of a new campaign starting this November for a range designed by Stella McCartney.
The British model has refused to comment on photographs said to show her taking cocaine.
But a statement from H&M said: "H&M will cancel the planned advertising campaign with model Kate Moss.
"H&M is strongly against drugs and for many years has actively supported the drug preventing organisation Mentor Foundation.
"After having evaluated the situation, H&M has decided that a campaign with Kate Moss is inconsistent with H&M's clear disassociation of drugs."
The drug-taking antics of Moss' boyfriend, singer Pete Doherty, have created a stir in recent months and the model was said to have been angry at his use.
