Model society: Kate Moss with Dame Vivienne Westwood
Despite being sent up to five items a day, the supermodel today said she never throws away any garments.
"Do I throw out clothes? Definitely not," she said. "I've got classics."
And to give you an idea what Moss means when she says "classics", she revealed she has been wearing a pair of vintage jeans given to her by Rolling Stone Keith Richards for years.

"Keith Richards gave me a pair of black jeans he bought in Brazil in 1969 and I still wear them — they fit me perfectly," she told Glamour magazine.

Moss, who was presented with a special award to mark 25 years of achievement in British fashion at the British fashion awards last night, also slips on a copy of a dress worn by Julie Christie in the 1975 hit film Shampoo.
The hand-sewn garment was given to her by former boyfriend Johnny Depp for her 21st birthday.
Moss said she holds on to her ever-expanding clothes collection for her daughter Lila Grace, seven. "Accessories stand the test of time and you can hand them down," she said.
Dame Vivienne Westwood, who presented Croydon-born Moss with her award, told the audience at the Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand: "I love Kate. She is very sincere and is never impressed by the hype around her."
Grace Coddington, the creative director of US Vogue and unexpected star of The September Issue, won the Isabella Blow award for Fashion Creator.
