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’.

Supermodel Karolina Kurkova’s ‘Weight Problem’ Revealed

Love and Dating

Although she looked simply stunning at last year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, super model Karolina Kurkova has come under harsh criticism for her fuller-than-usual figure over recent months. The 24-year-old was unfairly blasted by the Brazilian media for her “cellulite and love handles” after walking in Sao Paulo Fashion Week in June, and was then harshly dubbed “too fat” by fashion critics following the lavish lingerie show in November.

Kurkova has told Tarts in the past that her diet is comprised mainly of fresh vegetables, salad and protein. But for several weeks leading up to last year’s Miami show, an inside source said that the supermodel cut carbs altogether, and worked out for hours in an effort to keep up with other super-slim fashion models Angels Heidi Klum, Adriana Lima, Miranda Kerr and Marisa Miller.

“She was exhausted and didn’t get down to where she wanted to be,” said the pal. Apparently her weight woes may have more to do with a medical condition than with just a lack of willpower. According to an insider, Kurkova joins the ranks of 27 million Americans who suffer from the thyroid disorder hypothyroidism, which interferes with the body’s metabolism.

We’re also told that the Czech-born beauty (who is the eighth highest-paid supermodel in the world, according to Forbes) almost didn’t strut in the 2008 VS show, and the final decision to let her bare her bod to billions wasn’t made until the last minute, which is why her name was kept off pre-show press materials.A rep for Kurkova did not respond to calls for comment.

Miranda Kerr denies reports of engagement to Orlando Bloom

The Aussie fashion model has denied weekend reports she would wed her boyfriend, actor Orlando Bloom, next year and had been in Venice last week celebrating their engagement.

The Victoria's Secret beauty was in the Italian city to shoot David Jones's autumn/winter campaign.

The engagement news has sent gossip websites into overdrive for the past 24 hours, leaving Kerr's agent, Carlii Lyon, to set the record straight yesterday.

"Miranda herself has clearly stated she is not engaged," Lyon said. "There is nothing else to be said."

The A-listers - dubbed Kerr-Bloom - live together in New York and began dating more than a year ago.

They have been the subject of persistent wedding rumors.

Kerr, 25, last week revealed she gets frustrated at being constantly asked about her superstar beau.

"Everyone asks me to talk about him and they get really annoyed with me when I say no," she said.

"But if you want to know about him, why don't you go and ask him? I'm sorry, but that's just how it is."

While her modeling career is soaring, Kerr is looking to life beyond the catwalk.

She will bring out a self-help book for young girls, Treasure Yourself, next year.
