The model&nbsp;first came to prominence in the &#39;90s with the likes of Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss. She was known for her androgynous look, as well as her bold septum piercing. In her career, she walked for Jean-Paul Gaultier, Alexander McQueen, Versace, Helmut Lang, and more. Shortly after her debut, Karl Lagerfeld presented the Scotland native as the new face of Chanel, often&nbsp;commenting on her resemblance to the brand&#39;s founder, Coco Chanel.
