Kate Moss, who is launching this month her range of bags for Longchamp at Selfridges in London, managed to infuriate the organizers after demanding a “designer smoking area.”
The organizers fear that Moss will socialize with her friends rather than trying to boost her sales.
“It’s Kate Moss — she can ask for what she likes and they’ll probably bend over and give it to her,” a source told UK newspaper the Daily Mirror.
“Longchamp are spending a fortune on the sponsorship deal to boost the label. But it’ll look more of a promotion for brand Moss.
“The outside area is a bit of a problem. Her people want couches, cushions, tables, heaters and candles to make it comfy for her to have a cigarette.
“But she’s only due to be there for an hour. They don’t want to pay out lots for her to mingle with selected guests, only for her to hide in her VIP room drinking champagne with her pals.”
It has been claimed that Kate loves smoking so much that she asked her personal assistant to leave a packet of her favorite Marlboro Lights on every table in her home before she goes to bed.
“Kate has five coffee tables spread between her living room, kitchen, office and bedroom so that’s a lot of cigarettes,” a source said.
“She also has a special tennis ball with holes for cigarettes to stick out from so visitors can relax with a smoke.”
