Amanda Moore (born in Idaho on September 10, 1979) is an American model.
Brought up in a military family, Moore grew up in many different parts of the world, alongside her father and older brother. She attended high school in DeFuniak Springs, Florida.
“I never wanted to be a model—I was a basketball player,” Moore told Tim Blanks in a 2003 interview for Fashion File. She started college at 15 and originally thought of a career as a veterinarian, but a chance occurrence changed her course: she took a friend to a local scouting event and found herself exciting the interest of the scouts instead. They convinced her to attend a larger event in Orlando, where, Models.com reported in its December 2000 profile of Moore, “that face, when it walked into the room…made jaws, pencils, and all reserve simply drop. Agencies by the dozen clamored to sign her.” Moore initially signed with NEXT Model Management. She is represented today by IMG Models.
Moore’s big break came when she shot a cowgirl story for Amica by Patrick Demarchelier. She initially generated attention with a flood of magazine covers and runway bookings in 2000. She went on to survive the initial craze, remaining a fixture in runway shows, editorials, and campaigns, though the number of her bookings declined after 2005. Her absence from the catwalk in the fall 2005 ready-to-wear shows prompted speculation about her retirement. After scant appearances in the spring 2006 runway season, she regained the spotlight when, hair newly cropped in a style somewhere between a faux-hawk and a mullet, she was photographed by Steven Meisel for the March 2006 cover of Vogue Italia and an accompanying 32-page editorial.
As one of a very small number of openly gay fashion models, Moore has occasionally attracted the attention of the sensationalist press. She has been cited as a de facto lesbian style icon for the same reason. The New York Times, in a June 2004 article about lesbian style, described Moore as “a darling of photographers and designers…whose own style epitomizes androgynous slacker cool,” and stated that she is “uncommonly open about her sexuality” in an industry in which many gay women “choose to keep their preferences private…because invisibility can seem preferable to outright discrimination” or to unfavorable preconceptions about lesbian style. Moore was quoted in the article as saying, “Just because I choose to love women and don’t dress the part of a model doesn’t mean that I’m not very good at what I do.”
