Supermodel Kate Moss and her rocker lover Pete Doherty have filmed a new commercial for Italian designer Roberto Cavali on Mediterranean island Ibiza.

The pair are caught in a passionate beach embrace in the new ad, which came about as a last-minute thing. Cavalli had originally booked model Moss for the Ibiza shoot but asked Doherty to take part too when the rocker showed up with his girlfriend. The designer explains, "It happened quite casually. Pete was with Kate when she came to Ibiza for the shoot. I was immediately struck by the intensity and freedom of their relationship."

It was that same relationship which threatened the launch of Kate's new perfume a few weeks ago.

Kate was hoping to launch her signature fragrance in Marrakesh with Pete Doherty by her side, but perfume bosses are worried that he will create a bad impression of the product and harm sales.

A source told the Daily Star: "Pete is great for Kate's rock 'n' roll image and a brilliant icon - but he doesn't look like he smells very nice. It is widely known that he made a right mess of his Hackney home by smearing the walls with blood and excrement."

Cavalli obviously disagrees. He said: "Kate brings beauty, intensity and personality and a hippie spirit that's perfectly in tune with my collection."

"Pete is a dreamer and a rebel and not keen on compromises. He's authentic and spontaneous and oozes a new, unexpected brand of sensuality. I think he is perfectly in sync with the spirit of the Cavalli man."

Earlier this month The flamboyant Italian fashion designer announced he will produce a collection for high street store H&M.

His celebrity clientele includes Sienna Miller, Victoria Beckham, Madonna, Beyoncé, Gwyneth Paltrow, Charlize Theron, Jennifer Lopez and Sharon Stone.
