The former pop-star also revealed in the documentary how fashion brought her and her husband, David Beckham together.
She told the camera: ‘When I first met David in 1997, he’d heard that I was the Spice Girl that liked the designer clothes.
‘So after me going to a couple of football matches – I would say I was pursuing him, he’d probably say it was me stalking him – we arranged to go out on a date together.
‘He thought, “She’s the one who likes designer clothes,” and so he actually went out and bought himself a full Prada look for our first date to impress me. Which it did.’
In the revealing six-part series, Kate Moss opened up about the abuse she received by worried mothers.
The supermodel, 50, who became the poster girl for the trend in the Nineties, said that people would approach her in the street and accuse her of promoting eating disorders.
She told the Disney+ documentary: ‘Parents would come up to me and say, “My daughter’s anorexic”. It was awful.

The six part series speaks to former Vogue editors including Edward Enninful and celebrities such as supermodel Naomi Campbell
‘I think because I was just skinny, and people weren’t used to seeing skinny. But if I’d been more buxom, it wouldn’t have been such a big deal. It’s just that my body shape was different from the models before me.’
The documentary also speaks to former Vogue editors including Edward Enninful and celebrities such as supermodel Naomi Campbell, actress Gwyneth Paltrow and Sex And The City star Sarah Jessica Parker.
It also features designer Stella McCartney who revealed the advantage she had being the daughter of The Beatles star Paul.
Describing her graduation show from Central St Martin’s fashion school in London, Stella recalled: ‘All the other students were choosing their models, then they were getting their mates. I had mates, but my mates were the supermodels.
‘I was like, ‘Everyone’s gonna hate me if I do that…’ but life’s too short, and they were genuinely my mates. Those girls were the hottest girls on the planet. They were doing every show in every city, and they did a little college fashion show, for me. That was amazing.’

‘But I remember touching my toes and stretching up in it, and nothing moved, so I galloped down the stairs and that was that.’
She adds: ‘The next day we were on the front page of every newspaper and I’m like, “What the hell is this?”.
‘I hadn’t really realised how daring a dress it was.’

Diana tears up Galliano’s gown
British designer John Galliano’s first couture client was Princess Diana.
He dressed her for the New York Met Gala in 1996 in a silk dress with negligée trim.
Vogue called it ‘her most unroyal look to date’.
But John has now revealed Diana took the dress apart, transforming the look.
He says: ‘Everything was correct in the fittings, then it got to the event and I remember her getting out the car. I was shocked.
‘She’d ripped the corset, she didn’t want to wear it. She felt so liberated that she tore the corset up, and the cameras went mental.’
