LONDON - Kate Moss is set to sign a £1.5m deal with US fashion and fragrance brand Calvin Klein, almost doubling her post-cocaine scandal salary to £9m.

The 32-year-old supermodel, and ex-girlfriend of junkie rocker Peter Doherty, is due to sign with the US fashion giant this week, according to her publicist Max Clifford.

Moss, who was plagued with allegations of cocaine abuse in September, is also set to renew her £1m contract with Burberry.

This comes as her latest campaign for Rimmel breaks. The TV and poster push features Moss out on the town again. After a night of hard partying, she is ready to go again after applying a little Rimmel glow anti-fatigue effect foundation.

The new deals will boost her earnings to around £9m a year. Before the tabloid cocaine scandal broke, Moss earned around £5m a year with Rimmel London, H&M, Chanel and Burberry to front campaigns.

After pictures of Moss snorting the Class A drug appeared in the Daily Mirror, she lost three of her lucrative contracts, but has since battled back to secure an extra eight contracts, including a £1.2m Virgin deal and £1m Stella McCartney contract.

Moss was also named the Best Dressed Woman of 2005 by Grazia magazine and is back on the cover of Vogue magazine this month.

Separately, the Croydon-born supermodel is due to hear this week whether she faces drugs charges over the tabloid pictures of her snorting cocaine.
