After decades of working with fashion models and earning a fortune with them, what could have driven fashion legend Roberto Cavalli to say that models are just pieces of wood?
The Italian clothing designer also tells UK's Observer Food Monthly that he prefers to work with “artists” like P. Diddy than professional models.
Roberto Cavalli says, “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.”
In the simplest way, Roberto Cavalli is not impressed of fashion models at all, even supermodels like Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell:
“...Naomi Campbell is the same way (as with other models)... Kate Moss does not have what it takes to be a true star."
How could this man belittled the fashion models that served as the backbone of the fashion industry? Instead of looking at them as “pieces of woods,” he should even thanked them because without the models, there would certainly be no Roberto Cavalli at all.
It is true that Roberto Cavalli has established his industry in the world of fashion and have worked with millions of models already. Still, he has no right to treat models like woods of some sort. Models may be “waif-like” and all, but they are versatile in their craft, that is, modeling clothes and setting the fashion trends.
