"Well, they all had their sort of difficulties," he said. "I would say Naomi [Campbell] was not the easiest girl to work with."

He pegged the British model as being unreliable. "You would do these long fittings on her, right. I promise you for hours, fitting, and she was very conscientious. I guess if she had fun at the fitting, she liked the clothes, she would show up to the show."

"The day of the show I was a mess backstage," he says. "If she didn't like the clothes, things would end up very differently. Someone would come in advance and say, 'Oh, sorry, Naomi's not coming'."

Although when she did make it on to the catwalk, Mizrahi admits: "She just had to show up and it was perfect."
