Valentino is an idiot

In today's Rush & Molloy, there's a shocking quote from fashion designer Valentino:

Asked about the Madrid Fashion Week ban on too-skinny models, the designer said, "When you present clothes for the first time on the runway, you need to have somebody with a very elongated body. If you have a big girl, it's impossible. I don't know why we have to change just because Madrid came out with a fat girl."

Meanwhile, models are dropping left and right due to eating disorders. 

Of course, should we truly be surprised that a fellow who has distorted his own face through excessive amounts of plastic surgery might have some nutty thoughts about women's bodies?
