It's getting to be a bit of a common occurrence that Roberto Cavalli speaks out against everyone (except for Victoria Beckham). Back in May the Italian designer talked about many celebrities but now his rant has become more model specific.
Cavalli, who is famous for his use of animal prints took a swipe at Kate Moss whilst speaking to the Observer Food Monthly (quite how Kate would come up in a conversation about food is beyond me) who he thinks just doesn't "have what it takes to be a true star." He added that, "There are thousands of models like all other models. Naomi Campbell is the same way." Ouch.
Naomi recently shared her own views on models but these were slightly more realistic. Roberto, on the other hand, is suggesting that he is the puppet master of the fashion world adding, "For me, models are just pieces of wood that I carve to make clothes look beautiful." Is anybody else slightly scared? Also, if Kate isn't that special, why does she feature in this season's Just Cavalli ad campaign?

He sounds a bit deluded, as Kate Moss (and Naomi Campbell) are already household names and stars - more so than Cavalli even. And thank goodness, who gives a sh*t about his tacky clothes anyway.
1I guess Cav knows she will sell clothes, even if he doesn't think she is a star. I reckon he is just being controversial for the sake of it.
2Kate would not have done as well if she was nothing special. And sorry but he doesn't even design clothing I consider beautiful or anything I would ever want. I prefer Chloe.
3I have one amazing bra from Cavalli and that is it! I am not a big fan of his clothes..too J.LO!!
4Kate Moss is a super model and is a big star...he is old and tacky!
If Kate and Naomi aren't good enough in his eyes, then who is?
5Kate Moss has featured in lots of Cavalli campaigns,and I have always thought she was a strange choice because she is so not the Cavalli wearing type. So he was happy to use her "star power" to draw attention to his campaigns and now he's using her "star power" to draw attention to himself.
He should shut his leathery, Euro-trash mouth and stop making those florescent, flesh baring monstrosities he calls dresses.
6I agree with a lot of you. I adore Kate Moss' look and style. She is super famous and beautiful. I've never owned anything he's designed because his crap is tacky.
