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 met David in 1997, he had heard I was the Spice Girl who liked designer clothes.
‘So after going to a couple of football games (I’d say I was stalking him, he’d probably say I was stalking him), we agreed to go out together.
“He thought, ‘She’s the one who likes designer clothes,’ so he went out and bought a whole Prada look for our first date to impress me. And he did.”
In the revealing six-part series, Kate Moss spoke out about the abuse she received from concerned mothers.
The 50-year-old supermodel, who became the poster girl for the trend in the Nineties, said people would approach her in the street and accuse her of promoting eating disorders.
In the Disney+ documentary, she told the outlet: “Parents would come up to me and say, ‘My daughter is anorexic.’ It was horrible.”
The star has modeled a range of hair colors and cuts over the years, including a platinum blonde style.

The six-part series speaks to former Vogue editors including Edward Enninful and celebrities including supermodel Naomi Campbell.
“I think it was because I was skinny and people weren’t used to seeing skinny people. But if I had been more voluptuous, it wouldn’t have been such a big deal. It’s just that my body shape was different from the models who came before me.”
The documentary also speaks to former Vogue editors including Edward Enninful and celebrities including supermodel Naomi Campbell, actress Gwyneth Paltrow and Sex And The City star Sarah Jessica Parker.
Also featured is designer Stella McCartney, who revealed the advantage she had as the daughter of Beatles star Paul.
Describing her graduation show at London’s Central St Martin’s fashion school, Stella recalled: ‘All the other students would choose their models and then get their friends. I had friends, but my friends were the supermodels.
“I was like, ‘Everyone’s going to hate me if I do that…’ but life is too short and they were really my friends. Those girls were the cutest girls on the planet. They were in every runway show in every city and they did a little college fashion show for me. It was amazing.”
Disney+’s In Vogue documentary will showcase rare and never-before-seen archives from key industry figures and reveal the untold story of the decade’s most celebrated pop cultural moments and movements.
Other contributors will include designers Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs and Jean Paul Gaultier, actress Claire Danes, models Amber Valetta and Tyson Beckford, director Baz Luhrmann and politician Hillary Clinton.
The new series was announced by The Walt Disney Company EMEA at the Edinburgh Television Festival last year.
