Designer Says Celebrities Should Buy Their Own Stuff, Gifts Moss Anyway

Normally, fashion designers -- both large houses and small boutiques -- are practically throwing clothes and accessories at celebrities. For jewelry designer Lara Bohinc, however, this is not the case.

When one particular supermodel asked for one of her pieces, Bohinc -- whose customers include Samantha Cameron and Michelle Obama -- was hesitant: "Kate Moss asked for a belt once, so I gave it to her, but I had to say, 'Are you sure she’ll be wearing it?' I didn’t want to see it on her Filipina maid. I think celebrities should buy their own jewelry. I don’t send stuff to anyone."

While I give her kudos for believing that celebrities should purchase their own stuff (they of all people surely can afford it!), perhaps she ought to have followed her own advice and made Moss buy the belt instead of taking a stab at celebrities who gift items to their friends and employees (did she have to express such contempt for the thought of seeing her jewelry on Moss' "Filipina maid"?).

-- Who is Karl Lagerfeld's worst critic? Himself! The famed fashion designer tells Vogue that -- despite designing for his own label, Chanel, and Fendi -- he "could do better," and that he is "never pleased" with himself. He then gets pretentious by talking about how he reads pretentious books.
