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 shell be wearing it?" I didnt want to see it on her Filipina maid.

'I think celebrities should buy their own jewellery.

'I dont send stuff to anyone.'

But Bohinc claims she had no idea the Prime Minister's wife had made the purchase.

Lara said: 'It was an amazing surprise.

'Samantha Camerons people came into the shop to buy it, but they didnt say who they were, so I had no idea.'

Quite frankly, I cannot get enough of the pictures of her.Its not just her beauty, its her sheer full-on erotic power that stuns.
