Most designers would jump at the chance to gift celebrities with their creations.But Lara Bohinc, who counts Samantha Cameron and Michelle Obama as fans, believes stars should pay for the goods they receive – and even almost refused to give Kate Moss one of her belts.
The Slovenian-born Royal College of Art graduate revealed that when asked for the piece for Kate, she had to ensure she would actually wear it.
‘I think celebrities should buy their own jewellery’: Lara Bohinc doesn’t think Kate Moss deserved one of her belts..
Bohinc, who has a store on Sloane Street in London, told The Telegraph: ‘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 jewellery.
‘I don’t send stuff to anyone.’
Lara Bohinc makes chunky, gold art-deco inspired pieces..
The designer has made a name for herself selling chuncky, art-deco inspired pieces that have celebrities flocking to her store.
Her popularity rose after Samantha Cameron gave Michelle Obama one of her cuffs as a present at the G20 Summit in 2009.

But Bohinc claims she had no idea the Prime Minister’s wife had made the purchase.
Lara said: ‘It was an amazing surprise.
‘Samantha Cameron’s people came into the shop to buy it, but they didn’t say who they were, so I had no idea.’

Are we really that racially inferior to be used as a reference and be discriminated?
Oh who cares. Eh Pinoy nga maid ni Kate Moss so what? Why do we complain if other people think of maids when they hear Filipino? Being a maid is a respectable job and there is nothing wrong with it. Mag-alburoto tayo kung tingin nila sa mga Pinoy eh prostitutes.
don't bother with the petition. just google her (lara bohinc) and see who all sells her product and email all of them expressing how you feel about her idiotic comment. Also email her in her website. this is more effective than a stupid petition which she will blow off anyway. Its better to tell her sponsors about her racist comment. By promoting her product, they are supporting her opinion and I doubt they want to be associated with a bigot. What the h3ll did Filipinos do to her anyway?
