Fashion designer Roberto Cavalli has no use for supermodels. According to the outspoken runway maverick models are just models...

"There are thousands of models like all the other thousands of models. Naomi Campbell is the same way. For me, models are just pieces of wood that I carve to make clothes look beautiful."

<<Roberto Cavalli has no shame in his game, and obviously is not afraid to speak his mind.

August 6th marked the 80th anniversary of the birth of Andy Warhol. The unlikely fashion icon continues to be a major influence in both the art and fashion worlds. Born Andrew Warhola, of Polish American decent, he died in 1987 of complications related to gallbladder surgery. Warhol began his art career as a fashion illustrator before going on to turn the art world on its head. He was portrayed by Guy Pearce in the 2007 film Factory Girl starring Sienna Miller as Edie Sedgwick. Recently his portrait of Elizabeth Taylor sold for a record $23.5 million.
