Britney Spears Snub By Fashion Show    ·    February 15th, 2007

Britney Spears was snubbed at the Heatherette fashion show during New York Fashion Week by a fashion designer as a result of her “unrespectable” image.

The ‘Toxic’ singer had requested a limited edition Heatherette clutch bag which was designed by model Lydia Hearst, but her request was turned down as Hearst didn’t think she was a good role model.

A source told the New York Daily News newspaper: “Britney wanted to go backstage at the Heatherette fashion show during New York Fashion Week to collect a bag and promised to carry it to her front-row seat at where she would be photographed with it. But there were only 100 bags and her offer was politely declined.”

Hearst said: “I’m only giving the bag to accomplished young women who are doing something positive to affect the world around them. They are women I look up to and respect, like Gwyneth Paltrow, Sarah Jessica Parker and Anne Hathaway. They share the same high standards, and give back to the communities in which they live.”

When Britney’s request was turned down, she did not make an appearance at the Heatherette fashion show at all.

The representative of the pop superstar, Leslie Sloane Zelnick, denied reports and said: “It’s not true.”
