Yes. She was a supermodel in the mid-80s-90s and was a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition covergirl several times:
Kate Moss is probably better known only because of the UK Tabloids, who report about every time she picks her nose or scratches her ass. Elle mostly stayed out of the tabloids, while Kate purposely courted them. As models, Elle was more successful, but success isn't the same thing as fame/notoriety.

  Erm how was Elle more successful as a model?
  
  Elle had several businesses and is much older but Kate is still more respected in the fashion world and generally more famous.
  
  Kate was a fav for much more designers than Elle.

  You're comparing someone who is still in the business with someone who is retired - obviously the one still in the business is going to seem more relevant NOW. But if you look at each girl's success and accomplishments, Elle is at least on par with Kate - it's just that she had her successes a decade earlier, and you've mostly forgotten about them.
  
  Is Bill Gates any less successful, now that he's only the SECOND richest man and because he's been retired from Microsoft for 20 years? Not at all - but you don't hear about him in the tech news much because he isn't as relevant today. That doesn't take away his accomplishments, or that he spent 30 or so years as the richest person on the planet (and still second richest even after giving away over 30 billion dollars).

  But you said Elle was more successful, but she has not, Kate WAS more known in fashion, today she is still respected, but not as much.
  
  I think Elle is more successful for her lingerie line and make up, plus tons of television appearances and projects.
  
  Elle was far more proactive on screen than Kate, but still not as well known as Cindy, Naomi etc.
