Kate Moss has revealed how a photoshoot as a teenager opened Her Eyes to the dangers of The Fashion industry.

She told BBC Radio 4 's Desert Island Discs programme how she found herself with A Man who wanted to photograph her for a bra catalogue.

Moss said she was aged just 15 at The Time and he told her to take her bra off.

She Said The Experience had " sharpened her instinct" and that as a result she could " tell a wrong 'un a mile away".

" I was only 15 probably and He Said : 'Take your top off', " She Said .

" I took my top off, and I was really shy then about My Body , and He Said " take your bra off" and I could feel there was something wrong so I got My Stuff and I ran away. "

Spotted by a talent scout at the Age Of 14, Moss was signed by Storm modelling agency in 1988.

The 48-year-old told presenter Lauren Laverne how she would go to castings in London on her own, armed with just an A to Z street guide.

Moss went on to become one of fashion's most famous faces, and remains in demand with designers and magazine editors around The World .

In 1992, she shot her first major advertising campaign for Calvin Klein with actor Mark Wahlberg , known as Marky Mark at The Time .

But Moss said The Underwear shoot did not bring back good memories.

Topless for the photographs, the model said she felt objectified and " vulnerable and scared".

She Said she suffered from severe anxiety before The Shoot and was prescribed Valium to help her get through The Experience .

Now an agent herself, Her Daughter Lila Moss is on her books, and The Icon said she has been able to give her some advice about The Fashion industry.

" I've said to her you don't have to do anything you don't want to do, " She Said .

" If you don't want to do this shoot, if you don't feel comfortable, if you don't want to model, don't do it. "

She explained that she takes care of her models and ensures an agent is always with them at a shoot So There is someone there to say " I don't think that's appropriate".

Moss also opened up about standing by friend John Galliano , the designer who was found guilty of racist abuse in 2011, and her former partner actor Johnny Depp during his recent libel trial in the US.

She explained: " I believe in The Truth and I believe in fairness and justice.

" I know that John Galliano is not a bad person - he had an alcohol problem and people turn. People aren't themselves when they drink and they say things that they would never say when they were sober".

She continued: " I know The Truth about Johnny. I know he never kicked me down The Stairs . I had to say that truth. "

Moss for a while was perhaps most well known for controversial fashion photos taken by Corinne Day for British Vogue in 1993.

Day's images of Moss posing suggestively were criticised and prompted a media debate about so-called " heroin chic".

Moss said: " I think I was a scapegoat for a lot of peoples' problems. I was never anorexic, I never have been.

" I had never taken heroin. I was thin because I didn't get fed at shoots or in shows and I'd always been thin. "

Kate also talked about not believing she was photogenic when she was younger, sitting for a portrait by artist Lucian Freud and The Quiet life she leads in the Cotswolds.
