Fashion designer Julien Macdonald loves it when Elle Macpherson wears his creations.

The fashion designer appears alongside the supermodel in the new series of Britain’s Next Top Model and admits he’s in awe of her clothes and how she puts an outfit together.

“The most exciting thing is seeing Elle’s outfits each week. She always looks gorgeous and she’s on the most amazing fashion adventure. She wears a little bit of Julien Macdonald, which is always good!”

Julien recently caused controversy when he claimed plus-sized models don’t have a place in the industry, but he says he was misquoted and doesn’t judge people on their body shape.

“I was misquoted! I meant that I think there is room for everyone in fashion, but if you’re a plus sized model the opportunities are less - there’s just less work for plus-sized models. My mother is a size 20, my sister is a size 18, the bestselling size in my Debenhams range is size 16. And you can see in my designs - I don’t try to cover up plus size women, I want them to accentuate their bodies.”
