Kate was just 14-years-old when Storm founder Sarah Doukas spotted her at JFK Airport in New York and signed her to the agency. Kate's half-sister Lottie, 18, will remain on their books.
Although Storm claimed Kate's departure was amicable, sources close to the supermodel suggested it was down to her wanting a change of career. One told MailOnline: "Storm sent an email round to clients last week saying they have now changed their name to Storm Management and they are no longer a model agency."

Last year Cara Delevingne left the agency to concentrate on acting, and the source added: "Our strong speculation is that she, like Cara, is looking for a more personal management approach. "Kate previously opened up about her incredibly successful career, detailing the moment things really took off for her. Addressing her famous Obsession for Men campaign for Calvin Klein in 1993, Kate revealed ex-boyfriend Mario Sorretini got her noticed.She said: "Calvin saw Mario's book and it was all pictures of me on holiday and stuff. He was like, 'Right, I can see it, it's an obsession'. He was obsessed. I would wake up in the morning and he would take pictures of me."
