Elizabeth
Hurley 'Too Mumsy' for Boho Label 3/26/07
British fashion label Monsoon is reportedly searching for a new
spokeswoman after a #1 million ($1.95 million) modeling contract with
Elizabeth Hurley failed to increase profits for the design house.
Hurley, who recently married businessman Arun Nayar in a number of
ceremonies in the UK and India, is apparently "too mumsy"
(mother-like) for the label who normally target a younger, more bohemian
market.
A source tells British newspaper The Sunday Mirror, "The label has
started investigating possible replacements for Liz.
"We had a disappointing period before Christmas and hoped that
signing Liz would improve the figures. While the disappointing profits
aren't Liz's fault, the company wants to shake things up and get back to
its core market.
"People have suggested that Liz's image is too mumsy. She's also a
bit too refined for Monsoon, which sells boho-chic clothes rather than
tight jeans and low-cut tops."
