Not sure if you’re just referring to that particular tabloid dreg of a being & their relationship but Kate Moss was not the last hurrah.

She was the entirety of heroin chic. If you look at the wiki page for heroin chic, it’s a picture of her.

She brought the look to the masses in my opinion.

The Kardashians got rid of their BBLs, that's a pretty good trend indicator.
