H&M drops Moss over drug claims

Fashion store H&M has done a U-turn and says it will drop Kate Moss as the face of a campaign after drug allegations. Tabloid newspaper claims that Moss had snorted cocaine initially led H&M to condemn the British model but vow it would continue using her. Many of H&M's customers are teenage girls and the chain said in a statement that Moss was "inconsistent with H&M's clear dissociation of drugs". But cosmetics giant Coty said Moss will keep a contract with its Rimmel brand. Caroline Pycroft, PR manager for Coty UK, told BBC Radio 1's Newsbeat programme the firm will not make any further announcements as they "never comment on any of their celebrity's personal or professional life". Moss has refused to comment on Daily Mirror photographs allegedly showing her taking cocaine.
