Heidi Klum Too Fat For Catwalk


German designer Wolfgang Joop has attacked fashion model Heidi Klum calling her “too heavy” to be a catwalk model, bild.com reports. Joop told Bild: “She is no runway model! Heidi Klum is simply too heavy and has too big a bust. And she always grins so stupidly. That is not avant-garde - that is commercial!” Surprisingly the 64 year old is not alone in this opinion.

Model agency head Louisa von Minckwitz said: “Heidi has hips and voluptuous curves. Ideal measurements for a catwalk model are 87-58-88.”
Heidi’s measurements are 91-69-94. Louisa adds that she thinks the German is too short: “At 1.76 metres she is five centimetres too short. But, despite everything, she is a dream woman, an advertising icon and a superstar.” Chanel head honcho Karl Lagerfeld is next to put the boot in saying: “I don’t know Heidi Klum.

She was never known in France. Claudia Schiffer also doesn’t know who she is.”
Too fat for the runway? What rubbish, we’d kill for a figure like Ms. Klum’s.

Naomi and Linda in Fight for Fashion


Naomi Campbell has had her fair share of scraps in the past but here’s one she won’t be getting cuffed for.

The feisty super model has been matched with Linda Evangelista in a battle between beauties, to represent the new Dsquared2 Spring/Summer 2009 campaign.

The brand’s designers, identical twins Dean and Dan Caten, wanted to portray Dsquared2 women as angels of war and feel that this promotion reveals the idealistic contrast of beauty between universally recognised opposites: ebony versus ivory.

The two iconic fashion models of the Nineties battle it out in a statuesque struggle but despite them looking quite evenly matched, we have our bets on Naomi coming out on top.

Dsquared2 have always tried to incorporate red hot sex appeal in their fashion shows, making the headlines in 2003 when Christina Aguilera performed a catwalk striptease with the male models.

The New York designers’ latest collection was recently presented on the runway modeling during Milan Fashion Week, showing inspiration from the 1930s and ‘jazz-hot nightclubs’.
