Old People Say the Darndest Things

Filed under: Anglophilia > Kate Moss > Celebrity Feuds > Diddy > Naomi Campbell

Italian clothing designer Roberto Cavalli tells the UK's Observer Food Monthly that Kate Moss does not have "what it takes to be a true star."

He goes on to say he prefers to work with "artists" such as Diddy instead of professional catwalkers because:

"For me, models are just pieces of wood that I carve to make clothes look beautiful. There are thousands of models like all other models. Naomi Campbell is the same way."

He better steer clear of the notorious Naomi!

    Roberto Cavalli is like a god in the fashion industry. He can say whatever he wants! Besides I think someone should finally stand up to Naomi.

  9. 9

    hes right. fashion isnt about the models, ITS THE CLOTHES. there are tons and tons of people who are/want to be models. any model can get replaced at anytime. how long has cavalli been around? exactly. forever. haha

    dude seriously looks like leona helmsley. especially with the lips.



  14. 14

    Like, all models have to do is pout and be skinny.
    NO brains or real talent required.
    Block of wood would describe their heads.
    Zoolander made the point.



  15. 15

    man he looks like the late Leona hemsly the bitch that wlled all her money to her dog



  16. 16

    As much as I love Roberto (and his designs), I have no idea what he's talking about. I would pick Naomi or Kate over Diddy any day!



  17. 17

    Armani Wannabbe…
    Yes there thousands of models… try remembering their names tho.

    This assholes shouldnt bite the hand that feeds and likely keeps his euro-greasy boyfriends in tanning oil and thongs..

    Feature more homos who arent misogynist….

    Re: MonkeyWench – wow, that's one I've never heard before, the models are the mainpoint. Try this, you wouldn't see models without designers. The models are NOTHING without the designers such as Cavalli. I highly doubt any self respecting model(haha, funny, right?) would dare turn down the opportunity to workwith him, even if he said that to their face.

    Re: thejonesandme

    And designers like Cavalli make clothing that is so loud and gaudy that you can't even wear them outside the boutique - that is unless you want your hot-pink dyed fox coat to be hit by paint when you step out in NY by the animal-rights activists. BTW, you ever wonder why most of his campaigns with models don't show their heads? The answer is because he is too cheap to pay proper advertising rates.



  20. 20

    he better watch out for naomi
    or she's gonna throw her cell at his head



  21. 21

    WTF is his deal? Love Cavalli, but come on…Diddy over Kate and Naomi? Oh wait, this is a guy who is also best friends with J.Lo and loves dressing her. Apparently he's not as high-fashion as his clothes make him seem.



  22. 22

    Models are not exactly unimportant. Just imagine how well that would go over if Cavali
    modeled his own clothes.



  23. 23

    Diddy is a bore



  24. 24

    LOL. I hope he's wearing a helmet next time he sees Naomi. She may just bounce a telephone or a stiletto off of his noggin.
    Can't say I agree that Diddy is an artist though. YUCK!

    Wow, what stupid thing to say. Then why does he feature Kate Moss in his ads? I get what he means about the clothes, because at the end of the day models are just mannequins. I also understand what he is saying about people like Diddy (whom I hate) as being artists because he creates his own music etc etc. However, models can not just necessarily be replaced. That's why there are only a few top girls who are really good at what they do. Not that it's rocket science or anything but you may not know a good model is good until you see a bad model be bad. There is actually a little more to it.

    Every fashion designer thinks of models like that. Mr. Cavalli's just the only one w/ the balls to say it.

  27. Renee says – reply to this


    27

    He's right. What makes them stick out or have talent? Because they have a pretty face, a stick figure or know how to swing their hips down a freaking catwalk? Sure, it may sell the clothes but what special talent do they have? What will we remember them for and what contributions?

    NONE



  28. 28

    Well he's right. You've seen one model, you've seen them all. They are the most uninteresting people on the planet and unlike artist, they have no real talent other then being a walking clothes hanger. Cavalli is a fashion god, he can say this. The only reason anyone still pays attention to Naomi is when she throws a tantrum and shows her ass like a spoiled 2 yr old.



  29. 29

    Cavalli is fug. I am astonished Cavalli is daft enough to think that he is special enough to decide shit. Following his lead, I say that he is a crusty bastard who should be thrown off a cliff.



  30. 30

    still hough, kate moss is a troll, naomi is bald and crazy. but diddy? is he serious? he just wants diddy's butt.



  31. 31

    "Models are just pieces of wood that I carve to make clothes look beautiful."

    That's what he said.
    But isn't it the other way around?
    Aren't the clothes carved to make the wood (I mean woman) look beautiful?



  32. 32

    I'm not really sure what he means by this. Models are what brings the clothing to LIFE.



  33. 33

    Was going to comment about the white shit on His face until I read what He said- Funny!!

    Kate Moss is UGLY!!

    What a senile old coot, Kate Moss has been a star her whole adult life.



  35. 35

    I agree with him… I don't know why models get so famous, if all they do is promote a product…



  36. 36

    Cavalli is the best, fuck the rest!



  37. 37

    hahahahahahahahaha



  38. 38

    LMAO@ "artist like Diddy" who never had an original thought in his open mouth breathing mumbling empty head.
    I hope Naomi punches this guy in the throat. And Kate sets him on fire with her crack pipe.

  39. Paty says – reply to this


    39

    Ohhh…he is gonna get beat up!!!



  40. 40

    Aww he is just jealous of the models cause they get all the cute straight guys. If they are so expendable I 'd like to see him model his own clothes! You know the old queen tries them on!



  41. 41

    "Beechwood4-5789" You can call me up but better hide the fucking cell phone or that old man will get a concussion.



  42. 42

    then why was kate moss in the just cavalli ads in my september issue of marie claire???



  43. 43

    Who is this guy? is he famous? Thats funny -I have heard of Naomi Campbell & Kate Moss……

    Dude- you need a bitch slap!!!!



  44. 44

    Re: Bettie – HAHA. & this is coming from someone who spells 'the' as 'tha', & who also has an icon of a true douche bag. Cavalli is sooooooo right, models are blah, they all look the same, they are boring, they have no true talent & most are pretty stupid.
