Wolfgang doesn't like Heidi

It's hard to believe we live in a world where Heidi Klum could be considered fat, even by the most delusional. But a German fashion designer has decided to criticize Klum's healthy frame to Germany's BILD. Wolfgang Joop argued that Heidi doesn't have the body to be a model anymore, saying: "She is no runway model! 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!" Sigh.
You can bet it sounded a lot angrier in German. Heidi poses nude in March's GQ. While it's true that Heidi does not fit the standards established by the scowly, waifish Eastern Europeans that currently reign on the catwalk, Joop's criticism is unduly harsh. But at least it's straightforward, unlike the passive aggressive snotbomb launched by my favorite cranky fashion grandpa, Karl Lagerfeld: "I don't know Heidi Klum. She was never known in France. Claudia Schiffer also doesn't know who she is."
Haha, as if we care who Claudia Schiffer knows. (Claudia who?)
Heidi should just brush it off; she makes way more money than the anonymous welterweights designers like Joop and Lagerfeld apparently favor--especially now, when models are being forced to accept cut rates for shows....

We second that. We like Heid Klum - she may not be a runway model but she got LOOKS and BRAINS - which can't be said of everyone in this business. So...shut up, Wolfgang!

  1. Heidi is a stunning woman,independant and smart and she doesn't give a damn what anyone thinks about her,her marriage or her career decisions.

  3. Well, Heidi has had 3 babies and is still working the runway for Victoria Secrets.
    Wolfgang Joop is just a sourpuss. And Karl Lagerfeld doesn't know what real beauty is.
    Claudia Schiffer might be a runway goddess but she lacks the business savy and cleverness of Heidi Klum.
