Sure Kate Moss modeling for Roberto Cavalli’s Fall 2007 advertising campaign comes as no surprise, she is a regular Cavalli choice. But what is a surprise is that her boyfriend Pete is also going to appearing in his own Cavalli campaigns too.
“Kate Moss and Pete Doherty perfectly embody everything that’s contemporary and they’re poetic, creative and wild,” said Cavalli. “They go against mainstream and have an innate and fantastic sense of style.” The shots intend to highlight Doherty’s slightly ambiguous spell and his status of contemporary icon, he added.
“For his extreme lifestyle, at first Pete seems like a very bad role model, but his debauchery does not interest me at all,” added Cavalli. Gosh, if only the people behind the upcoming launch of Kate’s fragrance though the same about Pete.
What do you think of the ads shot separately in Ibiza by Mert Alum and Marcus Piggott?
Nothing new for Cavalli, well except for the Pete shot which has him with black eye make up and rubbing his nose… odd choice of shot don’t you think?

Doherty also looks similar to Marlon Brando in “One Eyed Jacks” a Western which Brando started in and directed.

Pete looks APPALING. I have no idea what his sense of style has to do with Cavalli. Bad choice Roberto.
Are you KIDDING ME? Pete selling high end fashion? What has the world come to.
Maybe Cavalli figure the controversy and publicity it will cause will work in their favour more than having that dirty smelly man in their ads will hinder them.
