Designer Roberto Cavalli spoke his mind in a recent interview with the London Telegraph. Commenting on British women, the 67-year-old Italian fashion icon warned, "There is a real vulgarity in the way women dress at the moment... They show off too much and try too hard. They don't understand where the line is between sexy and vulgar."
As for Kate Moss’s new collection for Top Shop he said it was... “badly made, stupid and bland; you see things like that everywhere. You can't just buy things for the label." Cavalli was in town as a guest of the London College of Fashion as part of the Sunday Times Stylelecture series.

Dior China decided to pull all Sharon Stone ads in China after the actress made controversial remarks at the Cannes Film Festival.

She said the recent devastating earth quakes in The People’s Republic were the result of bad karma for the way it has treated the Dali Lama... A company spokesperson said, “In light of Sharon Stone’s inappropriate comments and their negative impact, Dior China has decided to withdraw [her ads] immediately and stop using Sharon Stone’s image in any advertising, marketing and commercial activities.”

The British Crown Prosecution Service formally charged Naomi Campbell with assault for spitting at a Police officer following an incident aboard a British Airways flight last month. She lost her temper when her bags got lost at Heathrow’s notorious Terminal 5 infamous for misplaced baggage. In the same week Kate Moss lost her bags.  Campbell faces a possible maximum sentence of 6 months in jail and a penalty of $10,000. The 38 year-old was already ordered to perform community service work for assaulting an assistant with a cell phone in the U.S.
