German fashion designer Wolfgang Joop has taken an unexpected, and undeserved, swipe at fellow countryman Heidi Klum. The founder of JOOP! declared that the Project Runway host and sometimes handbag designer is too chunky, and too happy, for the runway.
“Heidi Klum is simply too heavy and has too big a bust. And she always grins so stupidly. That is not avant-garde – that is commercial!” he crowed.
Heidi seemed unfazed by the criticism when interviewed at her latest Victoria’s Secret show.
“Do I look like I care?” she asked. “I really don’t think about [Joop or what he said]. What am I supposed to say? It’s his opinion. What do you think?“
I think the fact that Victoria’s Secret continues to book the 36-year-old model for their runway shows says it all. I can only dream of having her body, especially after giving birth to three children!
But perhaps the real motive for the outburst was best explained by Heidi’s publicist.
“Wolfgang is obviously trying to revive his sagging career and get press for himself by riding Heidi’s coattails,” he said.
Ouch!
